Spend the day with Dauphin Island Inshore Charters and let them show you what makes the fishing in Dauphin Island so memorable! Your guide for the day is Captain Jay, which means you'll tap into years of professional experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Flounder, Redfish, Tripletail, and whatever else takes the bait. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your adventure begins aboard a 25' K2 bay boat with space for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is included.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. A few items to bring include sunscreen, sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Awesome Red Fish

    6 Hour Inshore trip on April 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught several Bull Redfish. The experience was awesome. Redfish and trout all morning long. Captain Jay kept us busy catching on a day everyone said would not be a good day to fish. We will definitely fish with Captain Jay again. Captain Jay is a fun captain to fish with.

    Excellent experience!

    5 hour trip on March 29, 2024 • 2 adults

    Embarking on a late March fishing voyage can be a gamble with the weather, but thanks to Captain Jay at Dauphin Island Inshore Charters, our trip was seamlessly rescheduled for the next day, ensuring optimal conditions. And what a decision it turned out to be! In just two hours, we found ourselves not just catching, but limiting out on our targeted Sheephead—a testament to Captain Jay's expertise and intuition. We selected this charter to celebrate my father-in-law's 79th birthday, a seasoned angler familiar with freshwater and Great Lakes fishing but new to the saltwater experience. His verdict? "The best fishing trip he's ever been on!" Such high praise speaks volumes. Sharing this unforgettable adventure with him and my wife created memories I'll forever hold dear. Captain Jay's contribution cannot be overstated. His adeptness at locating the fish and managing all logistics allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of fishing, devoid of any worries or distractions. For anyone contemplating a charter out of Dauphin Island, look no further than Captain Jay. He's the epitome of professionalism and skill—a true master of his craft. Thanks once again for an extraordinary experience!

    What a great fishing trip!!!

    5 hour trip on March 24, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Very impressed with Captain Jay even before we met him! He called us the day prior concerned about the windy conditions and the trip we signed up for...offered to change locations for a being out of the wind or that we could cancel and get a full refund. We took him up on the change in location and had a great time! He's genuinely concerned about his customers being on good fish and having a good time. He did great with our teenage boys...very patient and good conversation and gave them advice on fishing off the docks in the area. We highly recommend him and will definitely look him up if we come down again!

    We had a fantastic time with Captain Jay

    4 Hour Inshore Trip on August 25, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had an awesome time with Captain Jay! He went above and beyond to put us on the fish and it definitely paid off—we caught redfish, speckled trout, and even a red snapper. He made the whole trip fun and relaxing, and we even got to see some cool beach sights along the way. Highly recommend booking a trip with him if you’re looking for a great fishing experience!

    Great time.

    6 Hour Inshore on August 2, 2025 • 3 adults

    We had a great time fishing with Capt. Jay. We hooked on a big Jack Crevalle with really light tackle and with Capt. Jay’s help and boat maneuvering skills we managed to get him in the boat. The bite was slow on edible fish(only got two) but we all caught something. We had to cut it short due to a storm but still had fun.

    Captain Jay is the man!

    6 Hour Inshore on July 23, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Great fishing trip. We had 3 adults and 1 ten year old. Captain Jay put us right on some spotted trout. All over 3 lbs and one 5.5 pounder! Enough for a dinner for 8 and have leftovers. One of us caught a 19 lb red fish and has since been saddled with the nickname Johnny Red! Can’t wait to do it again next year.

    Captain Jay is THE MAN!!!

    5 hour trip on May 21, 2024 • 4 adults

    If you're looking for great company from a captain who's gonna work his tail off to put you on fish, this is the guy! Captain Jay literally ran us all over the bay until we found fish... and when we did, we hammered 'em! I'm an experienced fisherman, but my 3 partners were not. Captain Jay was patient with my inexperienced friends but not condescending to me. It was w a fabulous charter and one of the best I've ever been on. Great job Captain Jay!!@

    Half Day Trip With Captain Jay Rogers

    5 hour trip on August 22, 2023 • 3 adults

    We had a wonderful half day fishing with Captain Jay of Dauphin Island Inshore Charters. We left the dock with ample bait, and we were ready to catch some fish, which we promptly did. The weather was good with a nice breeze to keep us comfortable. We originally released our catches of Speckled trout, Redfish, Crevalle Jack, Black Drum, some Lady Fish, and a few Catfish. Later, as we began to get hungry, we decided to keep a few of the fish after all. We ended up keeping some Speckled Trout, a Flounder along with a good-sized 8 pound Tripletail we caught at the end of our fishing adventure. Captain Jay kept us on the fish and moved to different areas when the fishing slowed down or became unproductive. Captain Jay expertly filleted the fish we kept and later demonstrated the perfect way to cook them. We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trip and the wonderful meal. Captain Jay was always attentive, personable, friendly, and professional. It was a joy to ride in his beautiful boat and have him as our Captain. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a wonderful fishing experience at Dauphin Island. Sam Schlachter

    Captain Jay had great communication the whole time. Worked with us on changing our time. Had some spots a short ride from the launch so we weren’t just riding the whole trip. Had my son and nephew with me and Captain Jay did a phenomenal job of teaching the kids to fish and getting them some catches lined up. Clean, newer boat and nice gear.

    Captain Jay put us on fish right away and we limited out on specks . We then hit some other spots for flounder and redfish. He truly wanted us to catch as many fish as possible .
