Dauphin Island has a fish with your name on it, so let Reel Gypsy Fishing help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Nick, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.
These waters are known for Black Drum, Redfish, Flounder, Tarpon, Speckled Trout, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" For these species, you’re likely to spin using light tackle. Capt. Nick also offers fly fishing.
Kids are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 19’ East Cape skiff with capacity for 2 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It’s always wise to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 9, 2025
My daughter (14) and I enjoyed our trip with Jeff. The 4 hour excursion was perfect for us and we caught enough fish to keep us entertained. Jeff was very easy to work with.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
My father started guiding inshore trips in the early 80s on Calcasieu Lake in Southwest Louisiana. In 1984, my parents started Big Lake Guide Service on Calcasieu Lake. I came along in 1987 and it seems like I’ve been in a boat ever since. As a child my parents employed up to 12 captains. As scary as it sounds, you could say I was raised by fishing guides, literally and figuratively. They were all like my older brothers. My parents somehow cultivated an environment of competition and respect on their dock. Competition amongst each other and respect for the customer, themselves, and the fish. They all strove to be the best on the dock every morning. The best fisherman, the best with customers, and the best conservationist. These lessons have stuck with me and I’ll carry them until I’m long gone.
