About Your Trip

Captain Joe invites you to Dauphin Island, Alabama to spend a beautiful day fishing its rich waters. Enjoy exploring its nearshore and offshore grounds as well as the ravishing reefs and hidden wrecks and feel the thrill of chasing various species. Captain Joe will help you land a great catch and make your stay on the water enjoyable.

You’ll have the chance to go after a number of tasty and elusive species such as Red and Vermilion Snapper, Triggerfish, Sheepshead, King and Spanish Mackerel, and more. Using both light and heavy tackle, you’ll catch them by trolling, bottom and deep sea fishing, spinning, and jigging. You’re free to keep and take home all your catch. It’s fun for the entire family.

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.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,900+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
