Captain T's Fishing
+14If 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?

Great Day on the Water
Reef or Shark Fishing 6hr on June 16, 2025
Captain TJ and first mate Mike were wonderful. They made sure to out us on the fish and we always had bait ready when we needed it. It was a beautiful day on the Gulf (except for the shower at the end). Definitely will book again next time we are here.

Reef or Shark Fishing 6hr on May 28, 2025
It would be hard to believe there is a better charter out there. Took care of me and my family very well and kept us on the fish the entire day. Very down to earth crew and easy to talk to. Would recommend from mild to wild with these guys.

Your captain
Dauphin Island, Alabama, United States
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!
