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

This morning charter takes advantage of cooler air temperatures and active feeding periods when fish are most cooperative. You'll explore Bernard Bayou Industrial Seaway and surrounding inshore waters known for consistent sheepshead action and diverse species opportunities. The 4-hour duration provides ample time to work different techniques and locations without feeling rushed.

Captain Mark's local expertise shines as he positions the boat near productive structure where sheepshead display their signature black stripes and human-like teeth. The calm, clear waters make it easy to spot fish and perfect your technique, whether you're bottom fishing around pilings or sight fishing in shallow areas.

Local Species Insights: Sheepshead

Sheepshead thrive in Biloxi's inshore waters year-round, particularly around docks, pilings, and rocky structure where they feed on barnacles, crabs, and oysters. These distinctive fish with their black vertical stripes and human-like teeth require specific techniques to hook successfully. Captain Mark knows exactly where to find them in Bernard Bayou Industrial Seaway and teaches the patience needed to feel their subtle bites. Winter months can be especially productive as sheepshead school up in deeper holes and around warm-water discharges, making December an excellent time to target them.
