Biloxi Inshore Fishing: 4-Hour Coastal Adventure

Ready to wet a line in Biloxi's rich coastal waters? Our 4-hour inshore charter puts you right where the action is. We'll cruise through sheltered bays, hit productive river mouths, and explore nearshore hotspots teeming with fish. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying your hand at saltwater fishing for the first time, this trip offers the perfect mix of relaxed vibes and rod-bending excitement. Let's dive into what makes this Biloxi fishing experience one for the books.

What to Expect on the Water

As we push off from the dock, you'll feel the anticipation building. The calm waters of Biloxi's back bays are calling, and we're answering. Your seasoned captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a treat. We'll hit a variety of spots, from grass flats to oyster beds, each with its own unique charm and fish-holding potential. The beauty of inshore fishing is the constant change of scenery and the diverse species we'll target. One minute you might be sight-casting to tailing redfish, the next you could be dropping baits near structure for hefty black drum. It's all about adapting to what the fish are doing and maximizing our chances for success.

Techniques & Tactics

On this trip, we'll employ a mix of fishing techniques to put you on the fish. We might start by drifting live shrimp under a popping cork – a local favorite that's deadly effective for speckled trout. If the redfish are schooling, we'll switch gears and toss soft plastics or gold spoons to trigger those aggressive strikes. For structure-oriented species like sheepshead, we'll anchor up and drop weighted lines with fiddler crabs or shrimp. Your captain will be right there with you, offering tips on everything from proper hook-setting to fighting techniques. It's hands-on learning in a relaxed environment, and you'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up these tried-and-true local methods.

What Anglers Are Saying

"Worked hard in Not-optimal conditions to get Us some Fish! Great Captain and even Better Guy. Thanks Capt. Mark See Ya soon" - David

"Cpt Mark knew some great spots for our 4 hour trip, and he put us on some good fish. We caught redfish, flounder, white trout, and a few catfish and croaker. His son and helper, Jacob, did a great job keeping bait on our hooks and taking the fish off. He also kept us entertained with insightful conversations while we traveled from one spot to the next. Thanks Cpt. Mark and Jacob for helping us celebrate our anniversary." - Daniel

"Marks expertise was exceptional. We caught fish the whole morning. He was fully prepared and kept up with helping us 3 girls bait the lines! I would highly recommend him. Thanks for the fun Mark!" - Jeanne

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are a staple of Biloxi inshore fishing. Known for their powerful runs and distinctive spot near the tail, redfish put up a fight that'll have your drag singing. We target these bad boys year-round, but the fall months can be particularly epic when they school up in the shallows. Nothing beats the sight of a tailing red in skinny water – it's heart-pounding action that keeps anglers coming back for more.

Black Drum: Often overlooked but never disappointing, black drum are like redfish's cousins with an attitude. These fish can grow to impressive sizes, with some real monsters lurking around bridge pilings and deeper holes. They're suckers for crustaceans, so a well-placed crab or shrimp bait can lead to some serious pull. The bigger ones might not win any beauty contests, but they'll give you a workout you won't soon forget.

Sheepshead: Ah, the convict fish – so named for their distinctive black and white stripes. Sheepshead are the masters of structure, hanging around jetties, pilings, and oyster reefs. They're notorious bait stealers with a set of chompers that look eerily human-like. Landing these crafty fish takes finesse and patience, but the reward is a tasty meal that's hard to beat. Spring is prime time for sheepshead, as they move inshore to spawn.

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are the ninjas of the inshore world, blending perfectly with the sandy bottom. Flounder fishing is all about precision – working soft plastics or live bait slowly along drop-offs and channels. The bite might be subtle, but once hooked, flounder put up a surprisingly spirited fight. Fall is the golden season for flounder as they migrate to spawn, often resulting in some of the biggest catches of the year.

Cobia: While not strictly an inshore species, we sometimes encounter cobia in the nearshore waters during their spring and summer runs. These powerful fish are often called "crab eaters" and are prized for both their fighting ability and their excellent table fare. Spotting a cobia near the surface and casting to it is one of the most exciting experiences in Gulf Coast fishing. They grow big, fight hard, and will test both your tackle and your stamina.

Time to Book Your Spot

So there you have it, folks – a taste of what awaits on our 4-hour Biloxi inshore charter. From the moment we cast off to the last fish in the cooler, this trip is all about having a blast on the water and hopefully putting some dinner on the table. Our experienced captains are passionate about sharing their local knowledge and helping you create lasting memories. Whether you're looking to bend a rod, learn new techniques, or simply enjoy a morning on Mississippi's beautiful coastal waters, this trip delivers. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't miss out on your chance to experience some of the best inshore fishing the Gulf Coast has to offer.

Learn more about the species

Black Drum

Black Drum are the bruisers of the inshore scene, packing a punch with their powerful jaws and crushing teeth. These cousins of the Redfish can range from 5 to 30 pounds, with some monsters hitting 90 pounds. Look for them around oyster beds, mudflats, and brackish estuaries. They're most active in spring during spawning, when they gather in large groups and make those famous croaking sounds. Anglers get a kick out of their strong fight and the challenge of tempting them with the right bait. Fresh crab or clams are top choices - these drum have a sweet tooth for shellfish. Here's a local trick: if you're fishing deep structure, try a simple dropper rig with a heavy sinker and a circle hook. Let it sit on the bottom and wait for that telltale thump. Just remember, for the best eating, stick to the smaller ones under 15 pounds. The big boys can be tough and not as tasty.

Cobia

Cobia are the mavericks of our coastal waters, often mistaken for sharks with their sleek, dark bodies. These solitary swimmers can grow up to 6 feet and 100 pounds, giving anglers a serious workout. You'll find them around reefs, buoys, and other structures, typically in 30 to 70 feet of water. Spring and early summer are prime, when they migrate along the coast. Cobia are prized for both their powerful fights and excellent table fare. Sight fishing for them is a rush - look for them cruising just below the surface. To hook one, try a bucktail jig or live eel imitation. Here's a tip: if you spot a cobia, cast well ahead of it and let the lure sink. These curious fish often investigate anything new in their path. Be ready though - when they hit, they hit hard and run fast. It's an experience you won't forget.

Redfish

Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rockstars of our inshore waters. These copper-colored beauties, with their trademark tail spot, typically run 28 to 33 inches but can grow much larger. You'll find them in super shallow water - sometimes with their backs out of the water! They love hanging around oyster reefs, grass flats, and muddy bottoms. Fall's the prime time when they school up, but you can catch them year-round. Anglers can't get enough of their powerful runs and explosive topwater strikes. For a real thrill, try sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water. Use a gold spoon or a soft plastic shrimp and work it slowly. Here's a local secret: on calm days, look for their wakes or "nervous water" - that's often a dead giveaway. Whether you're after the fight or some tasty fillets, Redfish deliver on both counts.

Sheepshead

Sheepshead are the toothy characters of our coastal waters, sporting those infamous human-like chompers. Most run 1 to 8 pounds, but you might hook into a 20-pounder if you're lucky. These striped "convict fish" hang around structures like docks, bridges, and oyster beds. Spring's the hot season when they school up to spawn. Anglers love the challenge - Sheepshead are notorious bait stealers with a light bite. But man, are they good eating. For the best shot, use light tackle and natural baits like fiddler crabs or clams. Get as close to the structure as you can without spooking them. Here's a pro tip: when you feel that nibble, don't set the hook right away. Let them munch a bit, then give it a sharp upward jerk. It takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be hooked on Sheepshead fishing.

Southern Flounder

Southern Flounder are masters of disguise, blending into sandy or muddy bottoms with both eyes on their left side. These flatfish typically range from 15 to 18 inches but can grow up to 33 inches. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. They're ambush predators, lying in wait for smaller fish and crustaceans. Spring and fall are prime seasons, as flounder move between inshore and offshore waters. Anglers love targeting them for their delicate, white meat and the challenge of detecting their subtle bites. To boost your chances, try slow-drifting with live bait like bull minnows or mullet. When you feel that telltale "tap," give it a second before setting the hook - flounder often grab prey sideways before turning it to swallow. It's a game of patience, but the reward is worth it, both for the fight and the dinner table.
