Highlights of Half Day Morning Fishing Trip In Biloxi - Cobia, Redfish And More

This relaxed inshore charter balances steady fishing action with time to learn new techniques and enjoy coastal scenery. Working calm bays and river mouths, we target multiple species using bottom fishing for sheepshead around structure, drift fishing for seatrout in open water, and sight fishing for redfish in shallow areas. The 4-hour duration provides ample opportunity to work different spots and techniques without rushing. Winter months often bring excellent fishing as cooler water concentrates baitfish and gamefish in predictable areas.

All gear is provided including rods, reels, tackle, bait, and required fishing licenses. Captain Mark's local knowledge of tides, structure, and seasonal patterns ensures productive trips regardless of experience level. The boat is equipped for comfort and safety with plenty of space for two anglers to fish effectively.

Local Species Insights

Biloxi's inshore waters support diverse gamefish populations year-round, with winter months particularly productive as fish concentrate in deeper channels and around structure. Redfish patrol shallow flats and oyster bars, especially during moving tides when they feed aggressively on crabs and shrimp. Black drum frequent deeper holes and channel edges, responding well to fresh bait fished on the bottom. Seatrout suspend over grass beds and drop-offs, taking both live bait and artificial lures. Sheepshead gather around pilings, bridges, and rock structure where they feed on barnacles and small crustaceans.

The Bernard Bayou Industrial Seaway and connected waterways provide excellent habitat with varied depths, current breaks, and structure. Morning trips capitalize on cooler air temperatures and active feeding periods before boat traffic increases. Captain Mark's experience reading water conditions, tides, and fish behavior ensures we're fishing the most productive areas at the right times.
