This ain't your average fishing trip. We're gearing up for a focused, intensive morning of angling designed for those who know their way around a rod and reel. Our experienced captain will put you on the hotspots where redfish and specks are known to hang out. You'll be using top-notch gear and getting pro tips on how to entice those wary fish to bite. With room for up to 6 anglers, you can bring your fishing buddies or make it a family affair. And the best part? What you catch, you keep (as long as it's legal, of course).
On this trip, we're pulling out all the stops. We'll be using a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what's working best that day. Expect to do some sight casting in the shallows for tailing reds, or maybe we'll set up a drift to work the deeper channels for specks. Our first mate will be on hand to help with everything from baiting hooks to netting your catch. We might even break out the popping corks if the trout are feeling frisky. It's all about adapting to the conditions and outsmarting those fish.
Biloxi's inshore waters are teeming with game fish, and we're targeting the cream of the crop. Redfish are the bulldogs of the flats, known for their powerful runs and distinctive spot on the tail. Speckled trout are the local favorites, with their delicate flavor making them a hit on dinner plates across the coast. Don't overlook the hard-fighting sheepshead or the tasty flounder – these flatfish can put up a surprising fight and are a real treat to catch.
Sheepshead: These striped battlers are often called "convict fish" for their black and white bars. They're notorious bait stealers with human-like teeth perfect for crushing crustaceans. Sheepshead love structure, so we'll target them around pilings and oyster beds. Spring is prime time for these fighters, and they'll test your hook-setting skills like no other.
Redfish: The crown jewel of inshore fishing, redfish (or red drum) are the fish that dreams are made of. They can grow to over 40 inches, but we'll be targeting the "slot" reds between 16-27 inches. These copper-colored beauties are known for their strong runs and tendency to tail in shallow water. Fall is the peak season, but you can catch them year-round in Biloxi.
Southern Flounder: Masters of camouflage, flounder lie in wait on the bottom for unsuspecting prey. They're ambush predators, so we'll use a slow retrieve to tempt them into striking. Fall is the best time to target flounder as they migrate to deeper waters. Landing a big "doormat" is always a highlight of any trip, and their sweet, white meat is hard to beat.
Biloxi's inshore waters offer a unique mix of productive fishing grounds and stunning coastal scenery. You might spot pelicans diving for bait fish or dolphins cruising by as you cast. The diversity of species means you never know what might end up on the end of your line – from hard-pulling jack crevalle to the occasional shark.

Redfish are a staple of Biloxi inshore fishing. These copper-colored beauties usually run 20-30 inches, but can grow much larger. Look for them in shallow water, often so shallow their backs are exposed. They love hanging around oyster reefs, seagrass, and muddy bottoms. Fall is prime time when they school up to spawn. Redfish put up a great fight and are prized for their light, flaky meat. They're not picky eaters, which makes them fun to catch on a variety of lures. Topwater plugs can produce explosive strikes in the shallows. If you're after the big ones, try upsizing your lure to 5-6 inches. A local trick: fish the edges of grass flats on an incoming tide for best results.
Sheepshead are a unique catch in Biloxi waters. These fish typically range from 1-8 pounds and 14-20 inches, but you might luck into a 20-pounder if the fishing gods are smiling. Look for them around structure - docks, bridges, and reefs are prime spots. They're famous for their human-like teeth, which they use to crush barnacles and crabs. Spring is peak season when they form large spawning groups. Anglers love targeting sheepshead for their strong fight and tasty white meat. They can be tricky to hook though, often nibbling bait off the hook. My tip? Use a small, strong hook and set it hard as soon as you feel weight. Fiddler crabs make great bait, but scraping some barnacles off pilings can really get them fired up.
Southern Flounder are the masters of camouflage in Biloxi's waters. These flat fish typically measure 15-18 inches and weigh around 5 pounds. You'll find them lurking on sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal areas, bays, and estuaries. They're ambush predators, so look for them near structure where they can hide. Fall is the best time to target flounder as they move to deeper waters to spawn. Anglers love the challenge of hooking these tricky fish and their excellent table fare. Drift fishing with live bait like bull minnows or mullet is a solid technique. Here's a local tip: when you feel a bite, don't set the hook right away. Give the flounder time to turn the bait in its mouth, then reel down and lift to set.
