We booked an inshore trip and a Dolphin cruise with Captain T in July of 2025. We went offshore with Captain T in June 2024.Captain T is a great guy and a great fishing guide. He knows what he’s doing and he will work his butt off to make sure you catch fish or that you have an awesome time on his boat. Anytime our family gets back to Dauphin Island, we will book a trip with Captain T.

Took an overnight for tuna and swordfish. Came back with tons of black fin and yellow fin. Plus had a limit of snapper to boot! First class fishing operation. Highly recommended!

We had an incredibly enjoyable and delightful trip with him. Colonel White's sense of humor and exceptional patience with kids who had no prior experience with saltwater fishing made the day even more special. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic time and a successful fishing experience.

Captain Lynn and First Mate Hayden were a lot of fun. We limited out on red snapper and caught a Jack Crevalle, which was a blast to reel in—it put up a great fight!

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!
