Gulf Coast Monsters
Biloxi's Best: Offshore Fishing for Big Game
Get ready to chase some serious fish on this full-day offshore adventure with L'il Time Off Fishing Charters. Captain Nick Ladner knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's itching to put you on the hottest bite. We're talking monster Red Snapper, hard-fighting Cobia, and screaming runs from King Mackerel. This 8-hour trip is your ticket to landing some of the Gulf's most prized gamefish, all while soaking up that salty Biloxi air.
What's the Deal?
We'll be pushing off at the crack of dawn - 6 AM sharp. That early start means we beat the crowds and hit the fishing grounds when the bite is on fire. The boat's got room for six anglers, so bring your crew or make some new fishing buddies. We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. Our first mate Jake is a pro at getting you rigged up right and will be there to help you land that trophy catch. And the best part? You get to keep what you catch (as long as it's legal, of course). Nothing beats fresh fish for dinner after a day on the water!
Fishing the Biloxi Way
Out here, we don't mess around with light tackle. We're using heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with braided line to handle the big boys. Depending on what's biting, we might be dropping live bait to the bottom for Red Snapper, sight-casting to cruising Cobia, or trolling for King Mackerel. Captain Nick's got a sixth sense for finding the fish, whether it's over natural reefs, around oil rigs, or along current breaks. Be ready to work those arms - when a 30-pound Red Snapper decides to dive for cover, you'll be in for the fight of your life!

Fish on the Menu
Red Snapper: These crimson beauties are the crown jewels of the Gulf. They love to hang around structure and put up a mean fight when hooked. Expect to battle fish in the 5-20 pound range, with some real monsters lurking in deeper water. Red Snapper season is strictly regulated, but when it's open, it's game on for some of the best-eating fish in the sea.
Cobia: Also known as ling or lemonfish, Cobia are the bulldogs of the ocean. These curious fish often swim right up to the boat, giving you a shot at sight-casting to them. They grow big - we're talking 30-50 pounds - and when they decide to run, hold on tight! Cobia show up in Biloxi waters as the water warms in spring and stick around through fall.
King Mackerel: Want to see some drag-screaming action? Kings are your ticket. These speedsters can hit 60 mph when they're chasing bait, and when one slams your trolled bait, it's like hooking a rocket. We target Kings year-round, but the big smokers (30+ pounders) show up in late summer and fall.
Jack Crevalle: Pound for pound, Jacks might be the hardest fighting fish in the Gulf. These bruisers travel in schools and when you find them, it's non-stop action. They're not great for eating, but if you want to test your stamina against a true bulldog of a fish, Jacks are where it's at.
Sharks: From Blacktips to Bulls, we've got a variety of sharks cruising these waters. Hooking into one of these apex predators is an experience you won't forget. The fight can last anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour, depending on the size and species. It's catch-and-release for these guys, but the photo ops are unbeatable.
Time to Get Hooked
Look, if you're itching for some world-class offshore fishing without having to travel to the ends of the earth, this Biloxi trip is your golden ticket. Captain Nick and the L'il Time Off crew have the local knowledge, the right gear, and the passion to put you on fish all day long. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, you're in for a treat. The $1,700 deposit locks in your spot for a full day of big-game action. Don't let this one slip away - book now and get ready to make some serious fishing memories!

Learn more about the species
Cobia
Cobia are one of the most exciting fish we target here in Biloxi. These bruisers can grow up to 6 feet and 100 pounds, though most are in the 30-50 pound range. You'll find them hanging around reefs, wrecks, and buoys in waters 30-70 feet deep. Spring and early summer are prime times as they migrate through our waters. Cobia are curious fish - they'll often swim right up to the boat, giving you a shot at sight-casting. They put up a heck of a fight and taste great too, which is why anglers love 'em. Here's a local secret: when you spot one, toss out a live eel or a large jig. Let it sink, then give it a few twitches. Cobia can rarely resist this presentation.
Crevalle Jack
Crevalle Jack, or "jacks" as we call 'em, are the bulldogs of our waters. These powerful fish average 3-5 pounds but can hit 60. You'll find 'em in both inshore and offshore spots, from shallow flats to deep reefs. They love structure, so target areas around oil rigs or floating vegetation. Jacks are most active in warmer months, and they're a blast to catch - pound for pound, they're one of the hardest fighting fish out there. When you hook one, be ready for a serious battle. They're not great eating, but the fight more than makes up for it. Pro tip: watch for birds diving on bait schools. Jacks often push bait to the surface, creating a feeding frenzy. Toss a topwater lure into the mix and hold on tight!
King Mackerel
King Mackerel are a real treat to catch off Biloxi. These speedsters typically run 20-30 pounds but can top 90. Look for them in waters 40-150 feet deep, especially near structures like reefs or dropoffs. They're voracious predators, so trolling with live bait or artificial lures works well. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temps hit that sweet spot between 68-84°F. Anglers love 'em for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps - hooking one feels like you've tied into a rocket. The meat's tasty too, with a rich, oily flavor. Here's a local trick: when you see birds diving, there's a good chance Kings are pushing bait to the surface. Toss a spoon or jig into the frenzy and hang on tight!
Red Snapper
Red Snapper are the crown jewels of Gulf fishing. These beauties average 1-2 feet and under 10 pounds, but monsters over 30 pounds aren't unheard of. You'll find them hanging around structure in 30-300 foot depths - reefs, wrecks, and oil rigs are prime spots. They're most active in warmer months when water temps hit 50-70 degrees. Snapper fishing is all about getting your bait to the bottom where these guys live. They put up a good fight, especially the bigger ones, and they're absolutely delicious - mild, sweet, and perfect for just about any recipe. Here's a tip: use heavy weights to get down quick, and bring plenty of bait. Once you find a school, the action can be non-stop. Just watch out for sharks trying to steal your catch!
