Flounder Gigging is a very involved activity. For beginners it can be a little difficult. We will push pole the boat along sandy, and marshy banks with 15 foot long gigs looking for a giant football shaped outline. Dauphin Island Flounder can get over 10 pounds. These are the best eating fish in the gulf.

About Your Guide

Wilder W.

Independent Guide 17 years of exp.
I grew up on Dauphin Island, and have fished my whole life. As a career fisherman i commercial fish for red snapper and blackfin tuna during the winter time. I do my best to have rods bent the whole time we are fishing. Come fish these waters with me if you want to catch lots of fish. I am also very nice and outgoing. I like to have a friendly fun environment on my boat!

Captain Wilder was exceptional in many ways. Don’t be fooled by the simple accommodations. The boat is seaworthy and comfortable even in adverse seas. Captain Wilder is perceptive and sensitive to the needs of all on board. He is an accomplished captain and found us fish where others did not. Great personality and fun to be with for the day. We had a great time. See our catch below.

We really enjoyed our day with Wilder and Jacob. They were very knowledgeable about the fish, the landscaping, the waters, and showed the utmost respect for all. They both displayed patience and kindness with the kids on board as well as the adults LOL. They anticipated all our needs and met them above and beyond. I would highly recommend !!

Our party of five had a great time! Capt. Wilder was very pleasant, and patient with the four year old and two seventy-four olds on board. He has a wealth of local knowlege that added greatly to our enjoyment. We would happily fish with him again.
