Fear Knot Charters 

Our group had a fantastic inshore/nearshore fishing experience with Fear Knot Charters! Despite plenty of obstacles to overcome—including flooding up north, changing water conditions, and recent storms—Captain White worked hard to put us on fish, and we still brought home enough for some delicious fish tacos. What truly sets Captain White and his wife apart is that they offer much more than a fishing trip. They are genuine ambassadors for Dauphin Island, sharing their knowledge, hospitality, and love for the area throughout the entire experience. They serve their patrons not just for the day of fishing, but also by welcoming them in for ice and helping however they can to make the entire visit to the island better. Their local insight and welcoming attitude made the trip memorable from start to finish. Our entire group highly recommends Fear Knot Charters for many reasons, including their outstanding customer service, local hospitality, and Captain White’s service to our country. We are grateful for a great day on the water and look forward to fishing with them again. Thank you, Captain White “Colonel,” and Fear Knot Charters!

Captain White was great !! Our group had a great time joking around with this guy !! We caught lots of different fish (some monsters) and actually limited out on speckled trout and he was patient with some guys that didn’t have a whole lot of experience fishing out here . Captain White was very hospitable and fun to be around we even got to meet some of his family, great people great experience , if your looking for a no B.S. experienced guide this is your guy.

caugh some real nice trout and a Spanish Marlin. a lot of ladyfish that are fun to catch

Cannot recommend Colonel White enough! Not only is he a great Captain but he is an amazing person! We booked a fishing trip for Thursday but wanted a Moms day plus a 4 year old to see the lighthouse. He took us out for a couple hours to get great pictures. Was amazing and engaged the 4 year old in everything. Ended up deciding to check out this fishing spot on the way back to the dock and had a bite every cast catching trout and jack revell! It was amazing!! The next day we went out at 2 couples. Lines were tight most of the day. Our trip was geared towards sharking. But instead of buying live bait we got to go catch it!! This added so much fun to the trip. We all brought sharks aboard as well as trout, whites, catfish, stingray, and I'm sure I'm missing something. I loved how he walked us through everything first so we knew what to expect when hooking up. He was an amazing teacher of all things. Best 2 days we could've planned. He is a great host and was helpful our whole week. Recommended where to eat and things to do on/near the island. I would book again with this Captain in a heartbeat!

I’ve always booked off-shore. This was enjoyable and captain was great. He is very involved if you have children. My 7 year old had a blast. If you book you must ask the captain about the fish dance

Our group had such a great time with the Captain. Kids caught their limit and the Captain was a great guide. 100% would book again! Thank you for a great first experience!

Had a great day on the water with Fear Knot. Captain White did an awesome job. Would recommend Fear Knot for anyone wanting a good day on the water.

Perfect trip with kids. Col. White took us out with my 12 and 9 year old and we found all the fish. The Fear Knot boat was new and comfortable for the 5 of us. We got picked up and dropped off right at the Dauphin Island marina. Definitely would recommend when visiting Dauphin Island.

If you want a local guide that doesn’t give up or watch his watch book the Fear Knot!! Had great time, we caught a variety of fish even after the 5 inches of rain, the Captain is up front and honest and his brand new boat with the cover to stay out of the sun was awesome. Definitely coming back!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better fishing experience! Captain White kept us busy reeling them in because he knows all the best spots! I brought my two kids, husband, and parents; everyone had a great time. There was never a dull moment! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!!
