Captain Justin and his trusted first mate, Barry, are lifelong island residents with a fishing heritage spanning eight generations. Their families have harvested the abundant waters surrounding the island for many years. Before joining forces professionally, both Barry and Justin began their fishing journey in a modest 12-foot aluminum boat, braving the Gulf's waters multiple times. During their teenage years, they worked as deckhands on charter vessels until they each acquired their own boats to fish independently. Their extensive experience means they possess unmatched knowledge of the local waters and prime fishing locations.

Over time, these two formed an exceptional partnership, earning a reputation as some of the most successful operators in the charter fishing community. Although their schedules are busy, Barry and Justin still find time to fish these waters, and they are also dedicated to raising champions in rodeo and tournaments. The tradition continues as the ninth generation of island natives grows up embracing the fishing lifestyle that Barry and Justin are passionate about. Dauphin Island holds a deep significance for them, and they are eager to share their expert fishing techniques and the unique opportunities this region offers with visitors.
