Based out of Gulfport Mississippi, Gulfport Fishing Charters is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard with Capt. Dustin, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like light tackle, bottom fishing, and trolling, based on the species you're targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 8-hour trips, where you'll be fishing for the likes of Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and Sharks, depending on the specific season and the day's weather.

More Than What We Expected!!
4 HOUR TRIP MORNING on May 27, 20265 adults
We had the best time this morning! First off, the weather hadn’t been cooperating, but due to great communications from Captain Dustin McGill, we were set on the right path, had a pleasant trip and got into the fish big time. Our Deckhand Chris kept us untangled and rigged up right through all the excitement. It was a trip we’ll always remember and would definitely rebook with them on returning adventures. Thanks for the memories!

8 HOUR FULL DAY BOTTOM/TROLLING on June 2, 20264 adults
Captain Dustin and Chris did an excellent job! They worked very hard to get us onto the fish and were very patient with my youngest son and his inexperience. The boat was well maintained and comfortable, along with nice fishing gear. They both went above and beyond to give us the best fishing experience possible. Chris did an excellent job cleaning the fish, will definitely go fishing with them again when in Gulfport!!

6 HOUR TRIP MORNING on February 13, 20262 adults
Awesome guys to work with. Know their stuff and gear to meet the needs of the trip. Captain Dustin found us a "honey hole" and we were able to capitalize on the good work. His first mate was exceptional in his knowledge and expertise/experience. Both helped to make sure we had a good experience and caught some good fish. Look forward to making the trip back and fishing with Dustin and Crew again!!! Also pointed us in the direction where to eat for good food/service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

8 HOUR FULL DAY BOTTOM/TROLLING on July 27, 20256 adults
Fantastic trip! The deckhand Tyler was phenomenal always keeping our baits taken care of never letting any of the fish hit us swinging them in the boat. Dude was on point with everything he did worked very hard. Captain Dustin is an all-around great guy. Man gives a damn about what he does, And he’s out there to try his hardest to get you a fish no matter what. Well answer any questions you have very informational. A time me and all of my very good friends. Will never forget. Hands-down I will be back to visit Dustin and Tyler. Fish or no fish. If you know what’s good for you book your trip!

4 HOUR TRIP MORNING on July 6, 20254 adults
This was one of the best days of fishing I have ever had and it just wasn’t because the fish were bitting like crazy. Each year at our family reunion I schedule a fishing trip with my father-in-law, cousins and nephews. This was the first time we hosted our family reunion on the Gulfcoast as we usually go to South Padre Island where my family is from. I have been fishing with Captain Dustin 4 times in the past and because of his professionalism, graciousness and patience I knew he would be the perfect fit for my family. We started out catching croaker and white trout just outside of the marina and the action was constant. From there we headed toward Ship Island and in no time we caught our limit of Redfish. Exhausted from reeling in 25-30 lb Reds, we caught a reprieve as we headed toward the East end of Cat Island and caught our limit of shark as well as a few sting rays (which we released). Within a few hours of leaving the dock we were exhausted from reeling in massive Reds and very large sharks. With all of this going on, our trip didn’t end here. Captain Dustin and his 1st mate Christopher gave a us a history lesson of the area and shared their experiences regarding being life long residents of the Gulfcoast. Memories are made when you have people you love and care about share experiences with you. Thank you to Captain Dustin for making this a memorable experience and helping create a memory my family will speak of for years to come. Don’t waste your time looking for another charter. If you want to catch fish, learn the history of the area and be treated like family from the first time you step on the boat, then look no further than Captain Dustin and hop aboard the Fishtrap for a trip you will not soon forget.
