Captain Justin and his first mate, Barry, are lifelong island residents with deep roots in the local fishing community. Their families have been harvesting the bountiful waters around the island for eight generations and still continue the tradition today. Before launching their joint venture, Barry and Justin honed their skills fishing from a modest 12-foot aluminum boat, making frequent trips out into the Gulf. As teenagers, both served as deckhands aboard charter vessels until they eventually captained their own boats. With an intimate knowledge of the local waters and prime fishing spots, they quickly established themselves as a top team in the charter boat scene. Even now, whenever time permits, they continue fishing the local waters and are proud to be raising the next generation of rodeo and tournament fishing champions. The ninth generation is already learning the ropes, carrying on the family legacy. Dauphin Island holds a special place in their hearts, and they are enthusiastic about sharing their expertise and the unique fishing experience this locale offers. Your guide can accommodate flexible starting points to suit your plans. A fantastic outing with a highly recommended guide. Truly a five-star experience — the best guided trip we've ever enjoyed!
