Dauphin Island Fishing Overview

If you're looking for a diverse angling experience, Alabama's Dauphin Island fishing charters offer access to a variety of productive waters. From nearshore and inshore to reefs and deep sea, the fishing opportunities are seemingly endless. In Mobile Bay, anglers can catch Speckled Trout, Tripletail, Flounder, and Redfish using light tackle. Half and full day trips are available for both newbies and experienced inshore enthusiasts. Moving towards the Gulf, reefs and wrecks are bustling with Groupers and Snappers, while Mackerel species can be found close to shore for those who prefer trolling. Extended day trips are a must for those willing to travel 100 miles offshore to catch Tuna, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo. Dauphin Island fishing charters are available all over the location, with inshore charters departing from the northeastern shoreline and nearshore or offshore excursions departing from the southern shoreline leading directly into the Gulf. Fishing licenses are covered by the charter, and captains can provide information on local fish size and bag limits.

Dauphin Island Bay and Inshore Fishing

There are unlimited places to find excellent inshore fishing from Dauphin island. With bayous, passes, and bays of all sizes, the quality fishing here is second to none. With tarpon frequently showing up in these waters, catching a bucket list fish is a possibility. You can cast, cruise, or drift for a variety of inshore species making this one of the best inshore fisheries in the state.

Dauphin Island has the advantage of being at the mouth of Mobile Bay which offers ample opportunities for sizable redfish and speckled trout. Just a short distance away there are numerous bays, channels, and bayous to explore. Redfish and speckled trout can be caught here year-round but the best time to catch giants is in the fall when these fish are headed toward the headwaters for winter. Dauphin Island acts as a shield from the weather making the water calm and perfect for a relaxing day on the water.

Dauphin Island Nearshore Fishing

Various species of snapper and grouper along with mackerel and kingfish live in the waters just offshore from Dauphin Island. With red snapper season open in the summer, it's a great time to book a trip, but with so many other species of snapper and grouper open year-round, you can catch dinner any time of year. The kingfish bite is hot from spring through summer and is an exciting fish to catch with powerful strikes and big fights. All of these fish are found around reefs and structures in nearshore waters and will take a variety of baits and lures. While catching these fish is a blast it’s worth mentioning that all of these fish are outstanding to eat.

Dauphin Island Deep Sea Fishing

Cruise through the mouth of Mobile Bay and Pelican Bay to the gulf where a buffet of opportunities awaits offshore. With an abundance of fish species that inhabit these offshore waters, there is always something biting. The amberjack bite kicks things off in the spring and runs through summer when mahi-mahi start to heat up. Wahoo brings the bite full circle with their peak season coming in the winter months. With billfish and tuna also patrolling these waters you never know when you might hook up with a monster.

Swordfish, sailfish, and marlin dominate the bluewater off Dauphin Island and combine that with schools of yellowfin and blackfin tuna and you have truly magnificent offshore fishing. With the tuna bite peaking from spring through summer and the billfish getting fired up from summer into fall there isn't a bad time to go out. With these fish routinely growing over the 400 lb mark, you always have a shot at catching a true giant.

    Captain Bobby was GREAT. The 2 hour inshore is a perfect length of time if you have kids, or if you don't know if you will enjoy fishing or not. My son has been talking about fishing forever and I found Captain Bobby via a Google search. This was the BEST DAY of our trip to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. He's excellent and patient with kids - and will clean up your fish and cut it up and provide you with a restaurant recommendation where they will fry up your fish for you. I even caught a 40 lb Black Drum fish - and it was my first time ever fishing! 10/10.
