    First time nearshore/inshore fishing family of 6!

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults

    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!

    Great trip !!!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    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.

    Thank you for your review. Looking forward to taking you and your family fishing again. The fish dance worked to bring back a box full of fish.

    Fishing with Captain Richard

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a great trip with Captain Richard. He had us in fish quickly, and we stayed in them the entire trip. He was very hospitable and knowledgeable about the area and where to fish. He also came and picked us up when we arrived on the Island and took us on a driving tour, pointing out all the important items on the Island. Couldn’t ask for any better! If we go back, we would book with him again.

    Booked him twice in 2 days!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults

    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!

What's biting with Fear Knot Charters in Dauphin Island

The fall sets in, but the fish still bite. Red, Trout, Flounder, and some Pompano are in the game. East End jetties and inshore are the place to be. You can still find Kingfish.
