The Absolute Best Fishing Trip
6 HOUR TRIP MORNING on July 16, 2024
Dustin and deckhand Christopher were awesome and worked extremely hard the entire 6 hours and the extra 1.5 hours cleaning the fish we caught. They were totally driven to make our trip the best for my family (my wife and 3 sons). We were on fish immediately catching bull shark and redfish. If you’re looking for a crew that is going to work hard for your family or group - look no further. They helped coach my sons to be better fishermen and allowed them to participate pulling fish into the boat. They were patient with novice fishermen like us and helped out in any scenario. Equipment was first class, variety of fishing techniques were used from bottom fishing to trolling. Safety was a top priority and I appreciated how safety was covered thoroughly before we even left the dock. This was a FIRST CLASS operation.

8 HOUR FULL DAY BOTTOM/TROLLING on June 12, 2024
Great outing for my high school grandkids. Capt. knew what had not been working and working and we tried a variety so we would not miss out. Started catching bait fish and smaller trout, then took us to a red drum spot and hit 4 fish within 30 min. Tensing 2 to limit out with in next 30 min. Then went on to try trolling and later tried for shark, and landed a 4’ bull shark. Kids had a great time and Captain Dustin and Deck Hand Christopher were great and tried all day to get us to fish. They care about the area they are fishing and making the customers have the best g experience possible. Would definitely recommend you book with Dustin.

Great Crew…Tons of Fish!
4 HOUR TRIP MORNING on March 26, 2025
Our family are novice fishers at best but our teenage son loves it. The captain and crew were fun and kind: baiting our hooks and giving us instructions on techniques which was super helpful. We maxed out on our catch of Sheepshead in just a couple of hours and they took care of cleaning our fish as well. We’d chose them again in a heartbeat!

Best Charter Capt. on the coast! 11/10 Exceeded all expectations
4 HOUR AFTERNOON on June 15, 2024
I booked a 4-hour midday charter with Capt. Dustin, it was very last minute and I could not have asked for a better experience. I have never met someone who can read a depth finder quite like him, he was able to put us on some big fish, no problem. The energy on the boat was great all day. They're a great crew and I'll definitely be going back next time I need a break! (I'll also add, that the deckhand CJ's music taste was top tier)

Hello, my name is Captain Dustin McGill. I am a born and raised Mississippi native here on the Emerald Gulf Coast. I have been fishing the Gulf Coast my entire life and have been in the guiding business for the last 10 years. I started out with my mentor and teacher Captain Ron Harmon at the shipyard, working on our fleet boats, before I became a deckhand. I spent 5 years as a deckhand before proceeding on to the Captains' School. It has now been 8 years since I started guiding professionally. When I was younger, I used to go on charters all the time with my parents, watching the deckhand, wanting to do what they did. Little did I know that one day I would! Gulfport Fishing Charters is dedicated to your safety and to making sure your trip is as fun and memorable as possible. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned professional we will strive to give you the best experience possible!
