For these nearshore trips, Captain Lynn likes to target a variety of wrecks by bottom fishing with drop shots or jigs. He'll use cut bait, live bait, and shrimp to entice the waters below. When the bite is slow he likes to mosey on out to the deeper water for some trolling. After he's rigged up his trolling gear he'll set the throttle to cruise at about 7 knots waiting to hear the reels scream. Captain Lynn's 28' Grady White comes loaded with all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. Along with a captain that just loves to be on the water helping others to catch the fish of a lifetime! Read More

What is jack crevalle fishing in Dauphin Island all about?

Jack crevalle, often simply referred to as "jacks," are a common and highly sought-after species in the waters surrounding Dauphin Island. These powerful and aggressive game fish are known for their brute strength and lightning-fast runs, providing anglers with an exhilarating challenge when hooked. Jacks can be found patrolling the nearshore and offshore waters around the island, often in search of schools of baitfish to ambush. Their distinctive dark vertical bars and torpedo-shaped bodies make them easy to identify, and their penchant for explosive strikes ensures an adrenaline-pumping fishing experience for those lucky enough to encounter them.

Fishing for jack crevalle in Dauphin Island can be both thrilling and rewarding, with anglers employing a variety of techniques to target these formidable predators. One popular method is casting from the shore or fishing from a boat using heavy spinning or casting tackle equipped with strong braided line and sturdy hooks. Anglers often target jacks around areas of structure such as jetties, piers, and submerged rocks, where these fish are known to congregate in search of prey. By casting lures such as spoons, jigs, or topwater plugs into areas where jacks are actively feeding, anglers can provoke aggressive strikes and engage in exciting battles with these powerful fish.

Despite their reputation as fierce fighters, jack crevalle are also valued for their role in the ecosystem as apex predators, helping to regulate populations of smaller fish and maintaining the balance of the marine environment. While they are not typically prized for their culinary qualities, their sporting value and sheer strength make them a favorite target among anglers visiting Dauphin Island. Whether casting from the shore, venturing offshore, or exploring the island's estuaries and bays, encountering a jack crevalle in the waters around Dauphin Island promises an unforgettable fishing experience filled with adrenaline-fueled excitement and the thrill of battling against one of the Gulf Coast's most formidable game fish.

What are the most popular months to fish for jack crevalle fishing in Dauphin Island?

Jack crevalle seasons in Dauphin Island are influenced by various environmental factors, including water temperature, baitfish migrations, and weather patterns. These powerful game fish can be found in the waters surrounding the island throughout much of the year, but their abundance and activity levels fluctuate with the changing seasons. In the warmer months, particularly from late spring through early fall, jack crevalle populations tend to peak as they follow baitfish schools and take advantage of the rich feeding grounds provided by the Gulf of Mexico. During these times, anglers often encounter schools of jacks patrolling the nearshore waters, offering exciting opportunities for anglers to target these fierce fighters.

As temperatures cool in the fall and winter months, jack crevalle may become less active in the waters around Dauphin Island. While some individuals may still be found lingering in the area, particularly in warmer pockets of water or around areas of structure such as jetties and piers, their numbers typically decrease as they migrate to warmer waters or adjust their feeding patterns in response to changing environmental conditions.

Understanding the seasonal variations in jack crevalle behavior is key to planning successful fishing outings around Dauphin Island. Local anglers and fishing guides often keep a close eye on water temperatures, baitfish movements, and weather patterns to predict when and where jack crevalle are most likely to be active. By staying attuned to these natural rhythms and adapting their strategies accordingly, anglers can maximize their chances of encountering jack crevalle throughout the year, ensuring that every trip to Dauphin Island's waters holds the promise of an exciting and rewarding fishing adventure.

What techniques are popular for catching jack crevalle in Dauphin Island?

Jack crevalle fishing in Dauphin Island offers anglers an exhilarating experience, requiring specific techniques tailored to the aggressive nature of these powerful game fish. One effective method for targeting jack crevalle is casting from the shore or boat using heavy spinning or casting tackle equipped with sturdy braided line and robust hooks. Anglers often target areas with active baitfish schools, such as nearshore flats, jetties, or submerged structures, where jack crevalle are known to hunt. By casting lures such as spoons, jigs, or topwater plugs into these areas and retrieving them with erratic movements, anglers can trigger explosive strikes from hungry jacks.

Another popular technique for catching jack crevalle in Dauphin Island is trolling, particularly in offshore waters where these fish may be found patrolling open water or following baitfish schools. Anglers troll a spread of lures or rigged baits behind a moving boat, covering a wide area and presenting their offerings at various depths to entice strikes from roaming jacks. This method allows anglers to cover more ground and locate productive fishing spots, making it an effective strategy for targeting jack crevalle throughout the year.

Live bait fishing is also a productive technique for targeting jack crevalle in Dauphin Island. Anglers often use live baitfish such as mullet, pinfish, or menhaden rigged on a hook or under a float to entice strikes from these aggressive predators. Live bait can be fished near the surface or weighted down to target fish at different depths, depending on the preferences of the angler and the behavior of the fish. By presenting natural prey items in a lifelike manner, anglers can often elicit powerful strikes from jack crevalle prowling the shallows or cruising around submerged structures, providing an exciting and rewarding fishing experience in the waters surrounding Dauphin Island.

What other species are popular in Dauphin Island?

Aside from targeting jack crevalle, anglers visiting Dauphin Island have a wide variety of other species to pursue, offering a diverse and exciting fishing experience. One notable species is the speckled trout, also known as spotted seatrout, which inhabit the estuaries, bays, and flats around the island.

Speckled trout can be caught using a variety of techniques, including live bait such as shrimp or mullet, as well as artificial lures like soft plastics or topwater plugs.

Redfish, also known as red drum, are another popular target species around Dauphin Island. These powerful and tenacious fish are revered for their hard-fighting nature and can be found in shallow coastal waters, particularly around marshy areas, oyster beds, and tidal flats. Redfish can be caught using a variety of techniques, including sight casting with artificial lures or bait, as well as bottom fishing with cut bait or live bait such as crab or mullet. Their striking copper-colored scales and distinctive black spots make them a prized catch for anglers exploring the rich fishing grounds of Dauphin Island.

For anglers seeking larger quarry, Dauphin Island also offers opportunities to target species such as king mackerel, cobia, and even sharks. These apex predators roam the deeper offshore waters around the island, often following seasonal migrations of baitfish or cruising along underwater structures such as reefs and wrecks. Anglers targeting these larger species typically use heavy tackle and live bait or large artificial lures to entice strikes from these formidable game fish. With such a wide variety of species to target, anglers visiting Dauphin Island can enjoy a diverse and rewarding fishing experience in the rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

    We had a great time fishing with Bill and Nikki. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate with us. Very windy and choppy in the Gulf that forced us to stay in the inside bay. We caught plenty of fish, and several varieties but we could on find one legal size. Highly recommend them to charter.
