Helllo to all I would injoy providing a unforgettable fishing adventure in the waters of Dauphin Island, or fort Morgan Al . It doesn't matter weather you want to inshore fish for speckled trout or near shore fish for red snapper we can accommodate your trip. I worked for the Mobile Fire Department for 31 years and ran part time as a fishing guide for many years but after retirement i made the choice to do it full time. The last ten years of my career i was responsible for Captain dutys on a Our Department rescue boat so safty is my first priority and catching fish second with a great time Third . Call for additional information .

    captain clay goes all out

    Full Day Trip – Nearshore Snapper • 6 adults • 2 children

    Captain Clay was top-notch. The boat was pristine and dependable. Clay put us on the Fish and the fishing was good. There was a brief moment where the electronics were messing up, but Clay made lemonade out of lemons and still was able to put us on the fish. We had a blast. I’ll certainly book again soon.

    Reported catch:

    Great August Trip

    Full Day Trip – Inshore • 3 adults

    We had a great trip. We highly recommend. The captain was easy to talk to, and put us on the fish! Got our limit, then took us to several other spots to see what else we could find.

Red snapper and Trout bite is as hot as

Aug 5, 2026 • Dauphin Island
Red Snapper season is still open and hot in Alabama and the inshore fishing for speckled trout and red fish is still Great. Ive got some days still open in August and hopefully snapper season will remain open until September. Book a half day trip or a full day if you plan on visiting The Beautiful Dauphin Island or Mobile Alabama area. Have a great day . Captain Clay
