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.

I had an amazing time fishing with my son. The trip was relaxing and far exceeded my expectations. The captain knew the area well and even taught my 8-year-old how to handle an open-faced reel in just a few casts. It was a great overall experience, and we capped it off with a delicious meal of the fish we caught.
