    great trip!!

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM) • 3 adults

    If you’re looking for an incredible fishing experience on the Alabama Gulf Coast, look no further than Captain Lynn’s! From the moment you step on the boat, you can tell Captain Lynn knows exactly what he’s doing. His knowledge of the local waters, reefs, bait, and fish is second to none. The boat is clean, fast, well-equipped, and set up perfectly for a serious day of fishing. And I have to give a huge shout-out to Jackson, the deckhand! He was absolutely awesome—quick with the bait, attentive, hardworking, and always ready to help. When the fish were biting, Jackson was on it! Having a deckhand who can keep up when the action gets hot makes a HUGE difference. The whole crew worked hard to keep us on fish and make sure everyone had a great time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just getting started, they make you feel right at home. And the fishing speaks for itself! 🎣 We got on the fish, stayed busy, and had an incredible day on the water. Captain Lynn knows how to put you on fish, and Jackson knows how to keep the action going! Great boat. Great captain. Great deckhand. Great fishing. Great memories. 5 stars all day long! I’ll definitely be booking with Captain Lynn’s again! 🎣 If you’re considering a charter, put Captain Lynn’s at the top of your list!

    Put us on the Fish

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore (PM) • 6 adults

    Captain Lynn did a great job of putting us on the fish. He was without his Firstmate on this trip but did an excellent job of keeping us baited and pulling fish off our lines. I would highly recommend.

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore (PM) • 3 adults

    Captain Lynn and Jackson done awesome on putting us on some jacks, trigger fish, and red snapper. Hooks stayed baited and lines stayed wet. Had some less than ideal weather roll in and communication was AWESOME for rescheduling for better weather. Will definitely be a return customer. Good job men!!

What's biting with Captain Lynn's in Dauphin Island

Look for Spotted Seatrout. They have a strong bite, just like Redfish. You might not catch a bull, but can still make your move for a slot. Offshore, Tuna are biting.
