Snapper, Specks, and Sharks: Summer Bites Are On
Fishing around Dauphin Island is firing on all cylinders as we roll into July. Red snapper season is in full swing, and the bite has been strong over the reefs and wrecks. Most anglers are heading out early to take advantage of calm mornings and steady action. Snapper in the 10-15 lb range are being caught regularly on live cigar minnows and cut bait. For those venturing out a little farther, mingos (vermillion snapper) and triggerfish are also showing up in solid numbers. Inshore, the speckled trout bite continues to produce. Anglers working the grass flats and around the bridges during early morning or late evening are landing keeper-sized trout on topwater plugs, popping corks, and soft plastics. The bite has been best around moving tides, and live shrimp has been a game changer when conditions get tough. Redfish are cruising the edges of oyster beds and marsh cuts, with some oversized bulls making surprise appearances near the passes. Shark fishing near the beaches and around the oil rigs has been picking up steam, especially for those targeting them at night. Blacktips and spinners are most common, but a few bull sharks have been reported as well. With warm Gulf temps and baitfish moving through, now’s a great time to get in on the summer action across the island. Whether you’re heading offshore or staying close to the bay, there’s no shortage of opportunities on the line.

My family and I booked an August charter with the captain. We had a great experience as we are brought to the best fishing spots in the area. He really knows what he's doing and I recommend him as a guide. Book him if you have the chance and you will surely not regret it!

Our family fishing trip with Captain Jeff was one of the best experiences we have ever had fishing. He knew exactly where to take us and we maxed out immediately with our catch. We really had a great time with our morning trip and successfully caught multiple fish

It was a wonderful half day trip experience chartering with Captain Jeff Thierry and Kailey. They have an amazing customer service as they communicated well with us during and before the trip. We could not ask for a better trip. Highly recommended and would go back soon.

Our family had a great day with our 4hour tour. The team were polite, friendly, and professional. They informed us when we moved around since some of the fish were not biting in the first spot. They really went the extra mile and helped us fish for a trophy one. We even saw some dolphin come near us. They also offered to clean the fish, took some pics, and gave tips to keep the fish fresh. Would recommend!
