Mike Pollman

Independent Guide 8 years of exp.
Captain Mike is a true Dauphin Island local, born and raised with saltwater in his veins and a deep love for life on the Gulf. With years of experience fishing the waters south of Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores, he’s out there every day, tracking the bite and going straight to the action. When Red Snapper season rolls around, there’s no one better to put you on your limit—and have a blast doing it.

Mike’s passion goes beyond just catching fish. He loves sharing the full Gulf Coast experience—whether it’s teaching you how to throw a cast net, pulling up wild shrimp in his trawling nets, or swapping seafood recipes on the ride back in. Ask him where to take your catch—he’s got the inside scoop on the best local catch-and-cook spots and even top-tier taxidermists if you land a fish worth mounting.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to the sport, Captain Mike is all about making sure you leave with great memories, big fish, and maybe even a few new skills. In his words: “This Big...
