If you find yourself wandering around downtown Mobile, make sure to make your way to Spanish Plaza. This scenic, oak-shaded plaza is one of downtown's most photographed attractions, and once you get closer to it, it is easy to see why. One end of the plaza features a classically-styled European inn with iron-faced railings called Malaga. The impressive artwork displayed here won't escape your eye either, as you will be amazed at the Arches of Friendship sculpture, the “Fish Monger” statue and fountain and a plaque that remembers Bernardo de Galvez, the first governor of the Louisiana Territory.

If your plans include heading outdoors for a great day of fishing on the water, you owe it to yourself to experience the natural beauty of Polecat Bay. This breathtaking body of water is located near Mobile and connects to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way, there are many places to prepare, fuel and launch your boat out into the waters for your aquatic adventure.

Go on a real recreation adventure when you let Gulf Shores Deep Sea Fishing guide your trip out into the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Cast your line and wait for the big catch when you board one of the vessels that is part of the guide service's impressive fleet. There are different trip packages to suit the number of people in your party as well as their level of experience. The friendly staff on board will make sure that you have everything you need to reel in an unforgettable experience!

The staff is always friendly and cordial and there is a regular schedule of live acoustic music, so make sure to check the website for more details.
