About Your Trip

The sunny waters off of Dauphin Island, AL are home to some of the best nearshore gamefish species, and you'll be able to take a shot at all of them on this trip with Captain Justin! Drop your lines down towards underwater structure and reefs for Gag Grouper, Red Snapper,Triggerfish, and more—then get ready to battle these tough fish to the surface. Not only do these fish make great trophies, but they're also excellent table fare!

To get at these bottom-dwelling species, you'll be dropping your bait and lures deep and jigging to get their attention. Captain Neal knows how to put you on the fish, but once you're hooked up, it's your strength, stamina, and skill versus some of the brawniest nearshore species that the Gulf has to offer.

You'll be fishing from a 27′ Ameracat catamaran, a fast and super stable vessel that's perfect for offshore fishing in the Gulf. She sports twin Suzuki engines with a total of 400 horsepower, and is decked out with gear and amenities to level up your fishing experience.

Captain Neal will provide everything you need for a blue-ribbon day, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you need to bring is sunscreen, proper clothing, sunglasses, and a smile!

You can catch the Dauphin Island-Fort Morgan ferry every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Please visit https://mobilebayferry.com/schedule/ for the daily schedule and pricing.

About Your Guide

Justin I.

Independent Guide 32 years of exp.

Captain Justin and his first mate, Barry, are native islanders. Their families have fished the waters near the island for eight generations and counting. Before going into business together, Barry and Justin started fishing out of a small, 12 ft. aluminum boat that ventured out into the Gulf several times! As teenagers, they both deckhanded for charter boats until they had their own boats to fish on. Needless to say, these two know these waters (and fishing spots!) better than anyone. They made a terrific team and were some of the top producers in the charter boat community for years. These guys still fish the waters when their schedules allow, and they are raising rodeo and tournament champions themselves! The ninth generation of islanders is growing up doing what Barry and Justin love - fishing. Dauphin Island holds a special place in their hearts, and they’d love the opportunity to showcase their fishing skills and introduce you to this amazing fishery.
