Inshore Fishing

The inshore fishing trip is a great way to get on the water and target a variety of tasty fish species year-round. It can be a great option for someone’s first time fishing and avid anglers alike. We typically use light tackle and live bait (when available) on the bottom or under a popping cork. We can fish a variety of features from bays, bayous, reefs, and bridges based on what fish are available and what you’d like to target.

Barrier Island/Nearshore

The barrier island and nearshore reef fishing trip is a great way to target popular gamefish and take in the natural beauty of those environments at the same time. These areas are typically most productive from early April to mid-November. On these trips, both live bait and artificial lures may be used depending on how fast the action is. Most of our nearshore reefs are in 8-15 feet of water and can host many different species. Fishing at the barrier islands is usually a shallow-water affair targeting speckled trout, redfish, white trout, flounder, and sometimes sharks on the sea grass flats and in the saltwater marshes.

Wade Fishing

Wade fishing the barrier islands is an awesome way to sneak up on the fish and get up close and personal to land them. During the warmer months, it can be a great way to beat the heat! The season really peaks in late spring and early summer, but it can be done from late February to November effectively. Speckled trout and redfish are the main targets while wadefishing the grass flats and gullies of the islands. This is a very active type of fishing with lots of casts to be made and plenty of walking in order to cover water. Wading in the Mississippi Sound is not for the faint of heart- you’ll be sharing the water with critters that have teeth, barbs, or tentacles. However, with a few practices of avoidance and deterrence, negative interactions can be prevented. Wade fishing can be more involved, but the rewards can be oh, so great!

Red Snapper

Red Snapper fishing is extremely popular on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and for good reason. Snapper are hard-fighting and some of the best table-fare swimming in the gulf. The availability of these trips is limited but the seasons set for the species by the state and federal regulatory agencies. (Opens May 23rd, 2025). Snapper fishing consists of traveling 15-25 miles south into the gulf and positioning the boat up-current of, or over top of artificial reefs in 50-100 feet of water. Natural baits are then fished vertically until “fish-on!” Common bycatch species on snapper trips gray triggerfish (also subject to federal seasons) and Cobia (a delicious and mean-spirited fish in its own right).
