Looking to get on some serious fish action in Biloxi? Three Jays Charters has you covered with our 6-hour private inshore fishing trip. We'll cruise out to the barrier islands where the bite is hot and the fish are plentiful. Whether you're chasing trophy reds or aiming to fill the cooler with tasty trout, this trip delivers the goods. Bring your A-game and get ready to tangle with some of the Gulf's most sought-after inshore species.
Our inshore waters are teeming with game fish, and we know just where to find them. Depending on the season and conditions, we'll be targeting speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead, flounder, and more. Some days, we might even run into some hard-fighting jack crevalle or the elusive tripletail. Shark encounters aren't uncommon either, so be ready for anything! We provide all the gear, bait, and licenses you need - just show up ready to fish. Don't forget to pack some grub and cold drinks to keep you fueled up for the action.
On this trip, we'll employ a variety of fishing techniques to put you on the fish. We might start by drifting live shrimp under a popping cork for specks, then switch to bottom fishing with cut bait for reds and black drum. If the conditions are right, we could even do some sight fishing in the shallows - nothing beats watching a big red crush your bait in clear water! We use top-notch gear suited for inshore fishing, with medium-action rods and reliable reels spooled with braided line for sensitive bites and solid hooksets. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to fishing, we'll make sure you're rigged up right and ready to land some keepers.
"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 flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. Flounder fishing requires finesse and patience, but the reward is some of the sweetest, most delicate fish meat you'll ever taste. We typically target them near structure and drop-offs, using live bait or soft plastics. Fall is prime time for big flounder as they prepare for their offshore migration.
Black Drum: Often overlooked by anglers chasing their flashier cousins, black drum are hard-fighting fish that can reach impressive sizes. They love crustaceans, so we'll often use fresh crab or shrimp to entice them. You'll feel the distinctive 'thump' when a drum takes your bait. These fish are great eating when caught in the slot size, with firm, white meat that's excellent grilled or blackened.
Sheepshead: Known for their distinctive black and white stripes and human-like teeth, sheepshead are a favorite target for many inshore anglers. These structure-loving fish are notorious bait stealers, making them a fun challenge to catch. We'll target them around pilings, jetties, and reefs using fiddler crabs or shrimp. The meat is delicious and often compared to shellfish due to their crustacean-heavy diet.
Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are the crown jewel of inshore fishing in Biloxi. Redfish can be found in a variety of habitats, from shallow grass flats to deeper channels. We often sight-fish for them in clear water, which is an exciting visual experience. Their hard fights and delicious taste make them a top target for our trips. Fall and winter are excellent seasons for big bull reds.
Tripletail: One of the more unusual fish we encounter, tripletail are known for their habit of floating near the surface, often mimicking floating debris. This quirky behavior makes them a unique sight-fishing opportunity. We'll look for them around buoys, crab traps, and floating grass lines. Tripletail put up a great fight for their size and are considered excellent table fare with sweet, white meat.

Redfish are one of our most popular targets here in Biloxi. Also called red drum, they're known for the distinctive black spot near their tail. Most we catch are 28-33 inches and 8-12 pounds, though they can grow much larger offshore. You'll find them in very shallow water, often with their backs exposed, around oyster reefs, grass flats, and marsh edges. They're aggressive feeders and will hit a variety of lures and baits. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn. Redfish give a great fight and are excellent eating too. For the best action, I like to sight fish for them on calm days using gold spoons or scented soft plastics. Watch for their copper-colored backs or tails sticking up as they feed in skinny water.
Black drum are the big cousins of redfish, growing up to 90 pounds though most we catch are 5-30 pounds. They've got powerful jaws for crushing shellfish and make a distinctive drumming sound. You'll find them in brackish waters around oyster beds, mud flats, and pier pilings. Spring is prime time as they school up to spawn. Anglers enjoy their strong fight, though the bigger ones can be tough eating. For best results, target the smaller "puppy drum" under 15 pounds. My go-to setup is a Carolina rig with fresh crab or shrimp. Fish it on the bottom and be ready for some heavy pulls when they bite. It's hard to beat the thump of a big drum taking your bait in shallow water.
Sheepshead are a unique-looking fish with human-like teeth and black stripes that earn them the nickname "convict fish." Most we catch are 1-8 pounds and 14-20 inches. You'll find them around any structure with barnacles - pilings, jetties, reefs. They're notorious bait stealers, so you need a sensitive touch to feel their nibbles. Best time is late winter through early spring when they school up to spawn. Anglers love the challenge of hooking these wily fish, plus they're excellent eating. My local tip: use small hooks with fresh shrimp, fiddler crabs, or barnacles. Get your bait right up against the structure and be ready to set the hook fast when you feel that telltale tap-tap.
Tripletail are an odd-looking fish that can grow up to 3 feet and 40 pounds, though most we catch are 18 inches and 2-13 pounds. They get their name from their rounded dorsal and anal fins that look like extra tails. You'll find them near the surface around floating debris or structure, often lying on their side to mimic floating weeds. They're ambush predators, so we sight cast to them carefully. Best time to target them is summer, especially July and August during spawning. Tripletail put up an acrobatic fight and have delicious, firm white meat similar to snapper. My tip: use live shrimp or small crabs on a light spinning setup, and make a quiet, accurate cast - these fish spook easily. It's a fun challenge spotting and stalking them in our shallow waters around Biloxi.
Southern flounder are ambush predators that lie camouflaged on the bottom waiting to pounce on prey. Most we catch are 15-18 inches and a few pounds, though they can reach over 20 pounds. You'll find them on sandy or muddy bottoms in coastal waters, often near structure. Fall is the best time as they migrate to spawn. Flounder are prized for their tasty white fillets and the challenge of hooking them. They have a habit of mouthing baits before committing, so a patient touch is key. My local tip: use live bait like bull minnows or finger mullet on a Carolina rig. Work it slowly along the bottom, and when you feel weight, give the flounder a moment before setting the hook.
