Picture this: You're stepping aboard our sleek fishing vessel, rod in hand, with the salty breeze in your face. We've got all the gear you need, so no worries if you left your lucky lure at home.

Alright, let's talk fishing. We're not just gonna toss a line and hope for the best. Nope, we're going after these fish with some tried-and-true techniques. Depending on what's biting, we might do some drift fishing along the grass flats for speckled trout, or work the oyster beds for those hard-fighting redfish. If the sheepshead are around, we'll show you how to finesse those bait stealers. And don't even get me started on the black drum - when they're on, it's like pulling in a freight train. We'll hit up some local honey holes around Deer Island and the bay's hidden coves. Trust me, these spots are so good, you'll want to keep 'em secret.
Black Drum: These bruisers are the heavyweight champs of Biloxi's inshore waters. They can grow up to 30 pounds or more, and when they take your bait, hold on tight! Black drum love hanging around structure, so we'll target them near pilings and bridges. They're most active in the cooler months, making fall and winter prime time for drum fishing. And let me tell you, their fight is legendary - it's like trying to reel in a bulldozer.
Summer Flounder: Also known as fluke, these flatfish are masters of camouflage. They're ambush predators, burying themselves in the sandy bottom and waiting for an easy meal to swim by. We'll use light tackle and jigs to tempt these tasty fish. Summer's the best time to target them, as their name suggests. The thrill of flounder fishing is in the subtle bite - you've got to stay on your toes!
Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes, sheepshead are a favorite among local anglers. These guys are notorious bait stealers, so we'll teach you the finesse needed to hook 'em. They love structure, so we'll fish around pilings, jetties, and oyster beds. Spring is prime time for sheepshead, but you can catch them year-round. And let me tell you, they're not just fun to catch - they're delicious on the dinner table too!
Sea Trout: Speckled trout, or specks as we call 'em, are a staple of Biloxi inshore fishing. These guys are fun on light tackle and love to hit topwater lures at dawn and dusk. We'll target them over grass flats and around structure. They're most active in the warmer months, making spring and summer the best time to chase specks. The excitement of seeing a trout explode on a topwater lure is something you've got to experience!
Redfish: Ah, the mighty red drum. These copper-colored beauties are the pride of Biloxi's waters. We'll search for them tailing in shallow water or busting bait schools. Redfish put up a stubborn fight, especially around structure. Fall is the peak season when big bulls come inshore, but you can catch them year-round. There's nothing quite like the sight of a redfish's spotted tail waving above the water as it roots for crabs in the shallows.
Let me tell you, once you've fished these waters, you'll be hooked for life. Our 2-hour trips are perfect for fitting some quality fishing into a busy schedule. Maybe you're in town for business and have a few hours to kill, or you're looking for a quick family adventure. Whatever your reason, these short trips pack a punch.

Redfish are a popular target around here, running 20-30 inches on average but some real monsters over 40 inches show up too. Look for them in shallow water - we're talking 1-4 feet deep. They love hanging around oyster reefs, grass flats, and muddy bottoms. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn. Folks get fired up about redfish for their hard-fighting spirit and that distinctive tail spot. They're also excellent eating with a mild, sweet flavor. When we're after them, I like to use topwater lures early in the morning - there's nothing like seeing a big red explode on a surface bait. If that's not working, we'll switch to soft plastics or live bait like shrimp. Just remember to work your lure slow and steady - redfish aren't known for their speed.
Black drum are the bulldogs of the inshore waters. Most run 5-30 pounds, but some real bruisers over 50 pounds show up too. You'll find them around oyster beds, pier pilings, and in deeper channels. They're here year-round, but spring is prime time as they gather to spawn. Anglers love black drum for their powerful fights and good table fare, especially the smaller ones. When targeting them, I always bring some fresh crab or clams - they can't resist. Use a sturdy rod and reel combo, as these fish can really pull. One local trick: if you're fishing from a pier, try chumming with crushed oyster shells. It'll often bring the black drum right to you. Just be ready for a battle when that rod bends over!
Summer flounder, or fluke, are a favorite flatfish around here. Most are 15-20 inches, but we occasionally see doormat-sized ones over 5 pounds. They love sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like wrecks or reefs. Late spring through fall is prime time as they move inshore to feed. Anglers enjoy the challenge of hooking these masters of camouflage, plus they're delicious eating. When we're after flounder, I like to use a bucktail jig tipped with a strip of squid or minnow. The key is a slow retrieve with occasional quick hops off the bottom - that triggers their predatory instinct. Keep your line tight and set the hook immediately when you feel that distinctive thump. Flounder have a knack for spitting the hook, so staying alert is crucial.
Sheepshead are one of the trickier fish to catch, but they're worth the effort. Most run 2-5 pounds, with some topping 10 pounds. Look for them around any structure with barnacles - pilings, jetties, reefs. They're here year-round, but winter and early spring are prime as they gather to spawn. Anglers enjoy the challenge of hooking these bait stealers, plus they're excellent eating. When targeting sheepshead, I always bring fiddler crabs or live shrimp. Use a small, sharp hook and fish right up against the structure. You'll feel little taps as they nibble the bait - that's when you need to set the hook fast and hard. It takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be hooked on sheepshead fishing.
Sea trout, also called speckled trout, are a blast to catch inshore. Most run 14-20 inches, but we see some gators over 5 pounds now and then. You'll find them around grass flats, oyster bars, and deeper channels, especially at dawn and dusk. Spring and fall are peak seasons as the water temperatures are just right. Anglers love sea trout for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps. They're also mighty tasty on the dinner plate. When we're targeting them, I like to use soft plastic jigs or live shrimp under a popping cork. The key is to vary your retrieve - sometimes they want it slow, other times they prefer a quick jerking motion. Listen for that distinctive "pop" sound they make with their mouths - it's a dead giveaway that trout are feeding nearby.
