Book your next trip with D.I. Reef Monster and discover what you're missing in Dauphin Island. They specialize in offshore fishing and have the equipment to get it done. From high-speed trolling and deep dropping with electric reels to just basic bottom fishing the reefs.
There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Amberjack, Snapper, Grouper, Tuna, Cobia, Wahoo, Gray Triggerfish, and more with any luck. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.
You'll be welcome aboard a 31' Catamaran that can carry up to 6 passengers. It is rigged out with all the latest technology needed to catch fish and navigate safely. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. Kids are welcome!
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
It's never a bad idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Pick-up and drop-off out of Fort Morgan is available.
Give yourself something to look forward to, and book a trip with D.I. Reef Monster!

John Baxter5.0VerifiedHighlight of our trip!
4 Hour Trip-Nearshore Evening Trip on March 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe were scheduled for a trip out and Captain Spencer called to offer an earlier trip and with Captain Jay. We gladly accepted, we were ready! We arrived at the dock and the boat was ready. Super cool looking, as well! We met Captain Jay, very nice, knowledgeable and you can just tell that he loves what he does! Very fun Captain! We had our limit caught within an hour or so and were worn out! Our daughter wasn’t really into the fishing and Captain Jay told her that he would try his best to find her some dolphins, sure enough he did and sure was so happy! He truly went above and beyond to make sure we enjoy the trip. He taught us how to clean the fish as well! This was truly an incredibly fun adventure! My family highly recommends. We will definitely be going back
Maria TriplettRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHighly recommended! Won’t regret it.
6 Hour Trip – Nearshore Evening on May 5, 2026 • 2 adultsCaught our limit early. They were very professional, friendly and extremely helpful with everything. We moved a few times to get more and bigger fish when needed. I’ve always gotten seasick and this time I didn’t and I attribute it to the type of boat he uses. I have nothing but positive things to say about this experience, crew, boat and tackle. We are definitely going to use them again in the future.
Brian LongRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat fishing boat

Jamie Ashworth5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
4 Hour Trip-Nearshore on May 17, 2026 • 6 adultsTo use the Captain’s word, we were out in ‘SPICY’ conditions! That said, we caught a bunch of fish. Multiple species and caught enough keepers to fill an ice chest!
Nathan Herbst5.0Verifiedeverything on point. excellent outfit

Philip BoyerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip, even with challenging weather
6 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 6, 2023 • 6 adults • 4 childrenWe had a great trip with my family of 6. While out, some weather rolled through near shore, and the bite slowed for a bit. After some working, we still managed to get our limit of snapper, a couple almaco, a bonito, and a few trigger fish (which aren't in season and we didn't keep). We had a great time, and it was a wonderful experience for my kids' (ages 6, 8, 12, and 14) first off-shore trip. Captain Spencer and his deck hand, Tyson, did great with the kids and managed to keep us on fish.
Joe HullRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome day with Captain Spencer
6 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 26, 2023 • 2 adultsWe had a great 6 hour trip with DI Monster. Captain and crew were awesome to deal with and talk to. We lucked out and had perfect conditions for our trip. Would definitely recommend Captain Spencer and DI Monster.
Mike MccainRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf Day on the reef with Captain Spencer!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 29, 2023 • 5 adults • 1 childHighly recommend Captain Spencer. What an amazing day off-shore! The captain and crew work great with kids and put you on the fish. Looking forward to fishing with them the next time we are in the island.
Gene Carter5.0VerifiedAwesome trip
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 29, 2023 • 5 adultsCaptain Spencer and the Reef Monster crew were great. They put us right on the fish, they kept the bait coming as the fish kept hitting. There was plenty of room on the boat for our party of 5 fishermen.
Josh DanielRepeat angler5.0VerifiedA great day
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 3, 2023 • 2 adultsWe had a great trip. The guide and mate were willing to keep moving and put in the work to keep us on the fish.
