We'll meet bright and early at 6 AM, so make sure you've got your coffee in hand. Our seasoned captain and first mate will get you set up with all the gear you need – rods, reels, bait, the works.

Biloxi's waters are teeming with some real fighters, and we're going after the best of 'em. We'll be using a mix of techniques depending on what's biting – maybe some bottom fishing for those tasty snappers, or trolling for the speedsters like king mackerel. Cobia are always a favorite; these curious fish sometimes swim right up to the boat, giving you a chance to sight-cast to them. And let's not forget about the jacks and sharks – they'll give you an arm-wrenching fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Our first mate will show you the ropes on how to work different lures and baits, and believe me, there's nothing quite like the rush of feeling that first big hit on your line. Whether you're jigging, live-baiting, or working a topwater lure, we'll make sure you're in on the action all day long.
Folks come back to Biloxi year after year, and it's not just for the casinos (though those are pretty fun too). The fishing here is world-class, plain and simple. You've got a shot at some real trophy fish without having to travel to the ends of the earth. Plus, with a private charter like this, you're not crammed in with a bunch of strangers. It's just you and your crew, which means more lines in the water and more chances to catch. Our captains know these waters like the back of their hand – they'll put you on the fish and make sure you're having a blast while you're at it. And let's be real, there's something special about being out on the open water, salt spray in your face, not knowing what might grab your line next. It's the kind of day that has you reliving the memories (and showing off photos) for years to come.
Red Snapper: These guys are the crown jewels of the Gulf. With their bright red scales and big, toothy grins, they're as pretty as they are delicious. Red snappers love structure, so we'll be hitting up reefs and wrecks to find them. They put up a good fight, especially the bigger ones that can top 20 pounds or more. The best part? When you haul one of these beauties over the gunwale, you know you're in for some fantastic eating.
King Mackerel: Also known as "kingfish," these are the speedsters of the sea. Kings can rocket through the water at up to 60 mph, which means when they hit your line, hold on tight! We often troll for these bad boys, and when they strike, it's like lightning. They can grow over 5 feet long and weigh up to 100 pounds, though most are in the 10-30 pound range. The fight is always exciting, with long runs that'll have your reel screaming.
Cobia: These curious fish are a favorite among Biloxi anglers. They've got a habit of cruising near the surface, sometimes right up to the boat, which can make for some heart-pounding sight fishing. Cobia are strong fighters, known for their long, powerful runs. They're also excellent eating, with firm, white flesh that's great for grilling. When cobia are around, it's not uncommon to spot them finning at the surface – that's when you want to cast a live bait or a big jig their way and hold on tight!
Jack Crevalle: If you want a fish that'll test your stamina, look no further than the jack crevalle. These bruisers are pure muscle and they never seem to quit. Jacks aren't prized for their eating quality, but pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish in the sea. When a school of jacks busts up bait on the surface, it's a sight you won't forget – and hooking into one will give you a battle you'll be talking about for days.

Cobia are one of Biloxi's most sought-after gamefish. These bruisers can top 100 pounds, though 30-50 pounders are more common. Look for them around buoys, wrecks, and other structure in 30-70 feet of water. Spring and early summer are prime time as cobia migrate along the coast. They're curious fish, often swimming right up to the boat. Cobia put up a memorable fight with powerful runs and acrobatic jumps. Their firm, white flesh is excellent on the grill too. To catch one, keep your eyes peeled - sight fishing is key. When you spot a cobia, toss a bucktail jig or eel imitation in front of it. Local secret: chumming with live eels can bring them to the surface. Be ready though, these fish hit hard and run fast.
Crevalle Jacks are the bulldogs of Biloxi's waters. These powerful fish average 3-5 pounds but can reach up to 60. You'll find them both inshore and offshore, hanging around structures like oil rigs and reefs. They love warm water, so summer's your best bet. Jacks are pure muscle and will test your gear - expect screaming runs and dogged fights. While not the best eating, they're catch-and-release champions. To hook one, watch for birds diving on baitfish. Jacks push prey to the surface, creating a feeding frenzy. Throw silver spoons or topwater plugs into the mayhem and hold on tight. Pro tip: when you see a school, cast beyond them and retrieve fast. These aggressive hunters can't resist chasing down a fleeing bait.
King Mackerel are a prized catch in Biloxi waters. These speedy fish typically weigh 20-30 pounds, though some monsters can hit 90. Look for them in depths of 40-150 feet, especially near structure. They're most active in warmer months when water temps are 68-84°F. Kings are known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics - they'll give you a real fight on light tackle. Their firm, oily flesh makes great smoked fish dip too. To land one, try trolling with large spoons or live bait like blue runners. A local trick: use a stinger rig with two hooks to prevent short strikes. These fish have razor-sharp teeth, so wire leaders are a must. Keep an eye out for bird activity, as kings often push bait to the surface.
Red Snapper are the crown jewels of Biloxi's offshore fishing. These tasty bottom-dwellers average 5-10 pounds but can grow over 30. You'll find them around reefs and wrecks in 100-300 feet of water. Late spring through summer is prime time when the season's open. Snappers are known for their strong initial run - they'll try to dive back to structure, so be ready. Their sweet, nutty flavor makes them a favorite on dinner tables. To land a big one, drop live bait or heavy jigs to the bottom. Local tip: use a fish finder to locate schools, then anchor up-current and chum to bring them to you. Remember, these fish have strict regulations, so check the latest rules before your trip.
