There’s a fish with your name on it in Dauphin Island, and Deep Sea Fishing D.I. will help you catch it!

Around here, it’s common to catch Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Redfish, Black Grouper, Bull Shark, Amberjack, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Kingfish, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and more, depending on when you go. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Deep Sea Fishing D.I. is a child-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Otherwise, you should bring your own. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

Your vessel for the day is a 21’ Sea Strike (Center console) with space for 6 passengers. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time!

Don’t leave home without snacks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be bottled water on board. If you want to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain. Pets are allowed sea fishing. Gratuities are customary to show appreciation for the captain’s hard work.

Get in touch with Capt. Wilder below and start planning your trip today!

5 - Hour Deep Sea Fishing

Good day on the bay

VERIFIED

We showed up at 5:30 for a 5 hour fishing trip. Capt. Wilder was already on the boat working to get us ready. Fished for a little while to get some bait fish. The seas were really choppy, no way to plan for that. The fishing was good early on, then some slack then back on. Then we hooked into a Sting Ray that gave the best fight of the day. Caught some Red Snapper, Mango Snapper, and several other species. It’s a fish taco night on the island soon. Thank you Capt. Wilder for a great day fishing.

Wilder is a great captain! He is exactly what you're looking for, someone who grew up fishing these waters. Name your target fish, and he will zone in on them. He has most species patterned for the time of year and weather/water conditions! A dedicated professional. Thanks for squeezing us in!!! See you in Belize!! ~Luke & Nikki

Captain Wilder is the man!! We were originally booked on a Sunday but he kept an eye on the weather and recommended we move it to Friday, the 4th of July! Thank goodness we did because we limited out on red snapper in the first 30 minutes! My dad, my husband and myself had a blast! Captain Wilder is super fun guy and he keeps you on the fish!

Although conditions were not conducive to going out very far, Capt. Wilder made sure all in our group had a good time and a chance to catch fish! Very family friendly and upbeat! We had a “friendly” competition of boys against girls, and the girls came out victorious with our 29# Red. We all had the chance to reel in “the big one”, who was affectionately named Bertha.
