Looking to reel in some of Biloxi's best inshore action? You're in for a treat with this 4-hour weekend charter that'll have you targeting the local favorites just north of the barrier islands. Whether you're after the elusive speckled trout or hoping to battle a hard-fighting redfish, Captain Chad and the crew at Three Jays Charters have got you covered. This trip is perfect for small groups wanting to make the most of Biloxi's productive waters without breaking the bank.
As soon as you step aboard, you'll feel the excitement building. The boat's prepped and ready, with all the gear you need to start fishing right away. We're talking quality rods, reels, and the bait that local fish can't resist. The best part? Your fishing license is covered, so there's no need to sweat the paperwork. You and up to three buddies can spread out and get comfortable – there's plenty of room for everyone to cast without tangling lines. And don't worry about keeping your catch cool; we've got a big cooler with ice on board. Just remember to bring your own grub and drinks to keep you fueled up for the fight.
Captain Chad knows these waters like the back of his hand. He'll take you to the honey holes where the fish are biting, whether that's around oyster reefs, grass flats, or hidden structures. We might start off drifting for trout, then switch it up and hit some redfish haunts. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety – one minute you're finessing a flounder, the next you're wrestling with a black drum. And if we're really lucky, we might even spot some tripletail hanging around structure. It's all about reading the water and adjusting our tactics to what's working on the day.
"Super chill captain at a fair price he was able to put us on a limit of sheepshead before 10am so we swapped it up and cought a shark and a triple tail. 5 star would recommend and will definitely come back" - Darren
"My husband and I have been on numerous charters, but Captain Chad truly exceeded all our expectations! His friendly nature and deep knowledge of the local fishing spots are remarkable. He put us on fish every time and was quick to adjust if the bite slowed, making the most of our time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience." - Jessie
"Captain Chad is a great guy who put me on some solid keeper fish, and we had a blast even with the undersized ones. I learned a lot and even had a couple of tries for triple tail, which was a first for me. If you want a down-to-earth guy who knows how to get you on the fish, he's the one to go with!" - Michael
Southern Flounder: These flat masters are the ninjas of the inshore world. Blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom, they're a challenge to spot but a delight to catch. Flounder fishing is all about patience and precision. We'll use light tackle and slow-moving baits to entice these ambush predators. The best time to target them is during their fall run, but you can find keeper-sized flounder year-round in Biloxi's waters. And let's not forget – they're absolutely delicious!
Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mug fool you; black drum are some of the most fun fish to catch inshore. These bulldogs of the bay can grow to over 40 pounds, giving you a serious workout on light tackle. We'll often find them rooting around oyster beds or hanging near pilings. The telltale "thump-thump" when they take your bait is a rush every angler loves. Spring and fall are prime time for big black drum, but they're available year-round.
Sheepshead: Ah, the convict fish – so named for their distinctive black and white stripes. Sheepshead are notorious bait stealers, making them a true test of an angler's skill. We'll target them around structure like jetties and bridge pilings where they feed on crustaceans. The winter months are when sheepshead fishing really heats up in Biloxi. Landing one of these toothy critters is always a highlight, and they make for some mighty fine eating too.
Redfish: The crown jewel of inshore fishing, redfish (or red drum) are what many anglers come to Biloxi dreaming about. These copper-colored beauties are known for their strong runs and stubborn fights. We'll look for them tailing in shallow water or busting bait schools. The bull reds show up in fall, but you can catch slot-sized reds all year. There's nothing quite like the sight of a redfish's tail waving above the water as it feeds – it's enough to get any angler's heart racing.
Tripletail: These odd-looking fish are a real treat when we can find them. Tripletail have a habit of floating near the surface, often mistaken for debris. We'll cruise the waters looking for them lounging around buoys or floating structure. They may look lazy, but hook into one and you're in for a surprise – they fight hard and taste even better. Late spring through summer is your best bet for targeting tripletail in Biloxi.
This 4-hour trip is the perfect way to squeeze in some quality fishing time without eating up your whole weekend. At $475 for up to four people, it's a steal when you consider everything that's included. You're not just paying for a boat ride; you're getting local knowledge, top-notch gear, and the chance to fill your cooler with some of Biloxi's finest fish. Plus, with flexible start times, you can plan your trip around your schedule, not the other way around. And don't forget – at the end of the day, we'll clean and pack your catch so you can head straight home to fire up the grill. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, this trip has something for everyone. So why wait? The fish are biting, and Captain Chad's ready to put you on them. Book your Biloxi inshore adventure today and get ready for some rod-bending action!

Black Drum are the heavyweight cousins of redfish, packing a serious punch on light tackle. These bruisers commonly run 5-30 pounds, but monsters over 80 pounds aren't unheard of. You'll find them in brackish waters around oyster beds, pier pilings, and other structure. They use their strong jaws and teeth to crush shellfish, so fresh crab or shrimp are top baits. Spring is prime time as big schools move in to spawn. Drum put up a stubborn fight, using their size to bull their way around. While the smaller ones make great eating, I recommend releasing the big ones over 15 pounds - their meat gets tough and loses flavor. For the best action, fish the falling tide around oyster bars. Use a simple fish-finder rig with just enough weight to hold bottom in the current.
Redfish are the rock stars of our inshore waters, known for their powerful runs and explosive topwater strikes. These copper-colored beauties typically run 3-10 pounds inshore, but big bulls over 40 pounds prowl the beaches. Look for them tailing in shallow grass flats or cruising along oyster bars. They'll eat just about anything, but love crabs, shrimp, and mullet. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn. Anglers can't get enough of their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. For a real thrill, try sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water. Use a gold spoon or weedless soft plastic and drop it right in front of their nose. When that red pounces, hold on tight - they'll try to wrap you around every piece of structure in sight.
Sheepshead are the thieves of the inshore world, known for their uncanny ability to steal bait. These striped bandits usually run 1-8 pounds, but can reach up to 20 pounds. Look for them around any structure with barnacles - docks, pilings, jetties, and reefs. They use their freakishly human-like teeth to crush crustaceans, so small crabs and shrimp are top baits. Winter and early spring are prime, as they gather to spawn. Anglers love the challenge of hooking these bait-stealers and their excellent table fare. To improve your odds, use a small, sharp hook and braided line to detect the lightest nibbles. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook hard - sheepshead have tough mouths and are masters at throwing the hook.
Southern Flounder are a unique flatfish you'll find lurking on the bottom in our coastal waters. These sneaky ambush predators typically range from 15-18 inches long, though the big ones can stretch to 33 inches and over 20 pounds. Look for them in sandy or muddy areas, often near structure like oyster reefs. They're masters of camouflage, changing color to blend right in with the bottom. Spring and fall are prime seasons as flounder move in and out of the bays. Anglers love targeting them for their tasty white meat and the challenge of detecting their subtle bites. To improve your odds, try using live bait like mullet or shrimp on a Carolina rig. Let it drift slowly along the bottom, and set the hook fast when you feel that telltale "thump" - flounder are quick to spit out a bait they don't like.
Tripletail are the oddballs of our inshore waters, with a shape like a giant crappie. These ambush specialists usually run 2-15 pounds but can reach over 40. You'll often spot them floating sideways near buoys or floating debris, mimicking leaves. They feed on shrimp and small fish near the surface. Summer is peak season as they move inshore to spawn. Anglers love their acrobatic jumps and delicious white meat, often compared to snapper. Sight-fishing for tripletail is a blast - cruise along channel markers and look for dark shadows. Once spotted, they spook easily, so make a long cast past them and slowly retrieve a live shrimp or small crab imitation. When that tripletail pounces, be ready for some high-flying action as they leap and dive to throw the hook.
