Captain Eddie Permenter consistently delivers exceptional fishing results with his Sea Dawg Charter operation. Customers regularly catch their limits of red snapper, including impressive 30-pound specimens, while also landing black drum, redfish, and speckled trout. His top-notch boat and equipment are always clean and well-maintained, and he keeps everyone's poles baited throughout the trip. Eddie's extensive local knowledge helps him locate the most productive fishing spots. Customers appreciate how Eddie treats everyone like close friends rather than just clients. He shows remarkable patience with beginners, teaching first-time anglers and even casting for those who need help. Families especially value his gentle approach with children and his ability to adapt trips when weather requires staying inshore. Eddie also shares fascinating local history about landmarks like the sand island lighthouse and fort, then cleans and bags all fish at trip's end.

We had an incredible experience with Captain Eddie Permenter and Sea Dawg Charters! From start to finish, everything about this trip was first class. Captain Eddie has a fantastic attitude—friendly, patient, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone has a great time. His boat and equipment are top-notch, clean, well-maintained, and outfitted with everything you need for a successful day on the water. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does. Most importantly, he always knows where the fish are. We easily caught our limit of red snapper, including a massive one hauled in by David Lien. Captain Eddie put us right on the action and kept the good times rolling the whole day. If you’re looking for the best charter experience on the Gulf, look no further. Sea Dawg Charters is the real deal. We’ll definitely be back!

Trip - Seasonal Weekend Offshore Fishing Charter Dauphin Island Red Snapper on May 25, 2025
Clock Icon 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Captain Eddie provided us with a fantastic day on the water. Despite bad weather in the morning, and rough currents during fishing, Captain Eddie worked hard to find us spots that would yield results. We all maxed out on our limits for red snapper. He also cleaned our fish for us at the end, allowing for some great cooking once we got home! A great day with Captain Eddie!

Trip - Beginner Inshore Fishing Charter Dauphin Island Redfish and Sea Trout on April 12, 2025
Clock Icon 6:30 AM - 10:30 AM

We had a BLAST. My husband gets sea sick so it was me taking my 13 year old son, 14 year old nephew, and my son's 13 year old friend. It was GO TIME as soon as we left the dock. I expected Captain Eddie to start with explanations, maybe a bit about what to expect... or even boat rules and procedures some sort of speech... bla, bla, bla . (former school teacher here... I did it to all my students ) Nope. Eddie handed the boys rods and they IMMEDIATELY started catching fish. And they never stopped. We had so much fun. And as we fished and talked and fished and talked Captain Eddie attended to the boys non stop (with enthusiasm! Anyone who's ever fished with kids knows it requires a BOAT LOAD of patience )... baiting with stuff I'd never seen or heard of... plus live fish, crabs, and shrimp... he also told us about the lay of the land. We got to see the oil rig workers SWING FROM ROPES onto a giant ship that came by to pick them up off the rig, we saw a hawk carrying a fish land right in front of it and eat it, we saw an 1880 lighthouse, and Captain Eddie used his equipment to find holes (or holds?? I'm still not sure) of secret pockets of fish over top buried chicken coups and barges. I learned a lot and could barely tell my husband about it when we got back to the condo. I was sound asleep shortly after 8:21pm. Huge memory maker. Caught a VARIETY of fish. So much that we stopped for spices and olive oil on our way home. Oh! And the birds!! We followed them. They lead us to find fish. It was a grand adventure... worth every penny. Thank you, Captain Eddie. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us! 1 Peter 4:10 - "Each of you should use whatever gift you have to serve others." Captain Eddie used his knowledge, his time, his patience, his tools, and genuine kindness to serve us up a lovely fishing trip. Lord willing, we'll be back!! - Emily

Captain Eddie is a tenacious and dedicated captain who ensures that your time on his boat is memorable. This is our second family outing with him, and we were pleased as usual. I appreciate how he helped our son-in-law, who is not a fisherman, learn and catch his first Red Snapper. Mama out caught the men on the boat, I caught the first Red Snapper weighing 30 pounds, and went on to catch the next three. I couldn't have done it without Captain Eddie's knowledge and my husband's help in bringing in my massive catch.

Captain Eddie was great. He got us on some good fishing and also told us a little about the area including the sand island lighthouse and fort. Great personality, makes you feel like your going fishing with a close friend. Whether your a novice or a pro at fishing, you will have a great time. For the novice,, He baits up your hook and will even cast for you if you just can't figure it out. He definitely knows the area and keeps you baited and fishing the entire time. My son had some good fights with several of the larger fish in the area which was exactly what we were looking for. Very patient and doesn't make you feel rushed. He educated us on what are good fish to keep and which were not. Also cleaned all our fish at the end of the trip and bagged them up for us.
