Boat
On your charter with Capt. Sprinkle, you will be fishing off of a 2022 model Blackjack 256 Coastal with a custom 2nd station. This boat provides plenty of room for your party of up to 6 people, snacks, drinks, and the days catch. The 2nd station allows us a higher observation point so we can find you that big fish!
What You’ll Catch
The waters around Dauphin Island and Mobile Bay offer great opportunities to catch speckled trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, tripletail, jack crevalle, and much more. We base our target species on many factors including weather, moon phase, and time of year.

If you want to specifically target a certain species, or if the bite is hot for a particular fish we will plan accordingly!
Your trip will include bait, ice, fishing tackle, a fishing license, and fish cleaning.
Red Snapper Note: Our Nearshore trips will take place in Alabama State water, 9 miles and closer. Expect to catch red snapper in the 3-8lb range, although there is always the possibility of landing something bigger!
Speckled Trout: In order to insure a healthy fishery for years to come, customers on speckled trout fishing trips will be limited to keeping 5 fish per person, but we can catch and release as many as you’d like!
