If you're ready to have fun fishing in Dauphin Island or Gulf Shores, look no further than Captain T's Fishing. With Captain Captain T.j. at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
We pickup clients at Dauphin Island Marina or Ft. Morgan Marina in Gulf Shores.

There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Scamp Grouper, Red Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Gag Grouper, Bigeye Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and more if conditions are right.
During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll step aboard a 31' AmeraCat catamaran with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Captain T's Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Will be a repeat customer!
Reef Fishing 6hr-Cobia, Snapper on July 10, 20264 adults

We had a great time and caught our limit - definitely a trip we will be returning for. The captain and deckmate were knowledgeable and put every effort into getting us in the best spots to bring in big fish. We had 2 couples on this trip and it was fun for both the husbands and wives. If you haven’t been on a fishing trip like this, you will be happy with this crew for all the details you need to have a good day.

Capt. T.j. runs trip out of Dauphin Island aboard a 31' Catamaran. These waters are known for Groupers, Snappers and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or jigging. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
