Hello, my name is Captain Dustin McGill. I am a born and raised Mississippi native here on the Emerald Gulf Coast. I have been fishing the Gulf Coast my entire life and have been in the guiding business for the last 13 years. I started out with my mentor and teacher Captain Ron Harmon at the shipyard, working on our fleet boats, before I became a deckhand. I spent 5 years as a deckhand before proceeding on to Captains School. It has now been 8 years since I started guiding professionally. When I was younger, I used to go on charters all the time with my parents, watching the deckhand, wanting to do what they did. Little did I know that one day I would! Gulfport Fishing Charters is dedicated to your safety and to making sure your trip is as fun and memorable as possible. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned professional we will strive to give you the best experience possible!

    great trip, great memories

    5 HOUR TRIP MORNING4 adults1 child

    We caught an incredible variety of fish, including redfish, crevalle jack, stingrays, speckled trout, and even catfish. The deckhand was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, making the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The captain did an excellent job consistently putting us on fish and kept everyone entertained throughout the day. If we make it back to the area, he's absolutely the captain we'd want to fish with again. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about this experience and highly recommend this charter!

    Fantastic day on the water!

    6 HOUR TRIP MORNING4 adults

    Can’t say enough good things about our charter today. From start to finish, the crew was friendly, helpful, and completely on top of their game. You can tell they have tons of local experience—they put us right on the fish and shared great insights about the local species and area while we reeled them in. It was a incredible experience, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun day of fishing. Will definitely book again!

    Great Time, Great Fish, Great Crew

    4 HOUR TRIP MORNING3 adults

    I booked a trip for myself along with grandpa and a buddy. Captain Dustin was kind enough to call before our trip to ask if we wanted to reschedule or receive a refund due to a string of bad luck on the water. I declined and I am glad I did. We hooked on to some quality fish and had a blast. The crew members were knowledgeable, respectful, and fun! I would highly recommend booking a trip with these fellows an I plan to go out with them again in the future.

    Awesome fishing trip!

    4 HOUR TRIP MORNING3 adults

    I planned this trip with my son, granddaughter and cousin for my birthday. We had an awesome time. Captain Dustin was great, he knew right where to take us to catch fish. We left a little early to get to the spot first and had our limit of slot reds by 6:30. After that we went out to catch some sharks. It was a great birthday. We have fished with Captain Dustin several times and he is always great. We are already thinking about the next trip.

    Best fishing trip ever!

    6 HOUR TRIP MORNING5 adults1 child

    As soon as we got started, we landed three massive Jack Crevalles, shortly after that we caught a bull shark and a black tip shark both about 5 feet in length. And we trolled for a while and caught plenty of Spanish mackerel and then we hit the jackpot and we had four huge bull Redfish on. The captain and first mate were awesome and this was one of the most productive productive fishing trips I’ve ever been on with my two boys and wife.

Big Fish SLAM!!! ?

Jul 11, 2023 • Gulfport
Started off the morning as we usually do leaving at 6AM. Got to our first fishing spot where we had been catching our fish for the last few trips with little luck. Was able to box one big finetooth as well as another spinner shark to get the ice dirty. After adequate time fishing our first spot I decided it was time for our next destination. Covered a few miles of water till i saw a good school of bait and we stopped in it and caught all the sharks you could want! Once we finished with our likit of sharks we went off to start trolling for redfish and jacks. It didnt take long before we found them! Another beautiful day on the water!

Redfish and shark rally!

Jul 10, 2023 • Gulfport
Started the morning off early as we always do depart the dock at 6. They always say the early bird gets the worm. Well thats just what we did! This time of the year is our favorite because the ride time is low and the fishing time is high! We had our limit of redfish before 7 not to mention our toothy critters as well! We had plenty of throw backs and got to bring some good fish home!
