Dauphin Island Inshore Charters
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.

4 Hour Inshore Trip
We had a fantastic time with Captain Jay
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.
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!
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.

This was the first charter fishing trip we have ever taken. Captain Jay was very knowledgeable and knew where the fish would be. He was very patient with us, showing us how it is done. It was a great day on the water! We would highly recommend him as your captain, and can’t wait to go again in the future! Thank you Captain Jay!!!
