Kid-Friendly Fishing Fun in Biloxi's Backyard
Get ready for a family adventure on the water that'll have the kiddos hooked from the start! This half-day inshore fishing trip in Biloxi is tailor-made for young anglers and their families. We'll cruise the calm waters north of the barrier islands, targeting some of the Gulf Coast's most popular game fish. It's the perfect way to introduce your little ones to the joys of fishing while creating lasting memories for the whole crew.
What to Expect on the Water
Our 4-hour trip is all about keeping things fun, safe, and engaging for the young guns on board. We'll be fishing in the protected inshore waters, so you don't have to worry about rough seas or long runs to fishing spots. The calm conditions are ideal for kids who might be new to boating or fishing. We'll target a mix of species like Speckled Trout, Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Flounder, and maybe even a Tripletail if we're lucky. The variety keeps things interesting, and there's always a good chance of reeling in a fish perfect for a kiddo-sized photo op.
Gear and Goodies
No need to fuss with equipment – we've got you covered from rod to reel. Your $475 charter includes all the fishing gear, bait, and even the licenses for up to four guests. We use light tackle that's easy for kids to handle, and we'll show them the ropes on how to use it. All you need to bring is some snacks, drinks, and a small cooler to keep everything fresh. Oh, and don't forget the sunscreen and hats – the Biloxi sun can be sneaky even on cloudy days. At the end of the trip, we'll clean and bag your catch, so it's ready for the dinner table or the freezer back home.
Why Families Keep Coming Back
There's something special about seeing a kid's face light up when they feel that first tug on the line. Our trip is designed to maximize those moments. We know all the honey holes where the fish like to hang out, and we're patient teachers when it comes to showing the little ones how to cast, reel, and land their catch. Plus, with flexible start times, we can work around nap schedules or early risers – whatever works best for your crew. It's not just about the fish; it's about the laughs, the high-fives, and the stories you'll be telling long after you're back on dry land.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Speckled Trout are a fan favorite for kid anglers. These silvery fish with spotted backs are feisty fighters but not too big for young arms to handle. They're often found in schools, so when you find one, there's a good chance the whole family can get in on the action. Spring and fall are prime times for specks, but you can catch them year-round in Biloxi's waters.
Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rock stars of inshore fishing. With their distinctive spot near the tail, these copper-colored beauties put up a great fight and can grow to impressive sizes. Kids love the excitement of reeling in a "big red," and the smaller ones (often called "rat reds") are perfect for young anglers to cut their teeth on. Fall is the peak season, but you can find reds in Biloxi's waters throughout the year.
Sheepshead are the tricksters of the inshore world. Their human-like teeth (yep, you read that right) make them experts at stealing bait, which can be both frustrating and hilarious for kids learning to fish. These striped fish hang around structures like pilings and reefs, and they're most active in the cooler months. Landing a sheepshead is a real accomplishment, even for seasoned anglers!
Black Drum are the gentle giants of our inshore waters. They can grow to massive sizes, but we usually target the smaller "puppy drums" that are more manageable for kids. These fish make a croaking sound when caught, which never fails to get a giggle out of young anglers. Spring is prime time for black drum, but you can find them year-round.
Flounder might look funny with both eyes on one side of their head, but they're no joke when it comes to taste. These flat fish are masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom. Kids get a kick out of spotting them and learning how to entice them to bite. Fall is the best time to target flounder as they move to deeper waters.
Tripletail are the bonus prize on our inshore trips. These odd-looking fish are known for floating near the surface, often mimicking floating debris. It's like a aquatic Easter egg hunt trying to spot them! When hooked, they put up a surprisingly strong fight for their size. Late spring through summer is your best bet for encountering these quirky creatures.
Time to Book Your Spot
Alright, folks, if you're looking for a way to pry the kids away from their screens and get them hooked on the great outdoors, this is it. Our half-day inshore trip is more than just fishing – it's about making memories, learning new skills, and maybe even sparking a lifelong passion. With everything provided and a focus on fun, safe experiences for the whole family, all you need to do is show up ready for adventure. The fish are biting, the boat is ready, and we can't wait to show your crew why Biloxi's backyard waters are a kid's fishing paradise. Don't let this chance slip away – book your trip now and get ready for some reel fun!

Black Drum
Black Drum are some of the biggest fish we catch inshore. They typically range from 5 to 30 pounds, but can get up to 90 pounds. You'll find them around oyster beds, mudflats, and structures like pier pilings. These fish use their strong jaws and teeth to crush shellfish and crabs. Spring is prime time for Black Drum fishing when they school up to spawn. They put up a great fight and make that distinctive drumming sound. To catch one, use fresh crab or shrimp on the bottom. A local tip - if you're after table fare, target the smaller ones under 15 pounds. The big ones can be tough and not as tasty. Black Drum are fun to catch and release though, so don't be afraid to go after those big boys if you want a real tussle.
Redfish
Redfish, or Red Drum, are a staple on our trips. They usually run 20 to 30 inches, but can get much bigger. Look for them in shallow water, often so shallow their backs are out of the water. They love hanging around oyster reefs, grass flats, and marsh edges. Fall is prime time when they school up, but you can catch 'em year-round. Redfish are popular for their strong fights and excellent eating. That distinctive spot near the tail? It's actually a false eye to fool predators. Here's a local tip: on calm days, look for their tails sticking up as they feed in shallow water. Cast past them and slowly retrieve your lure. Topwater lures can lead to some explosive strikes. Redfish are tough fighters, especially in shallow water, so hang on tight!
Sea Trout
Sea Trout, or Speckled Trout as we call 'em, are a favorite here on the Gulf Coast. Most run 14 to 24 inches and 1 to 5 pounds. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love to hang around structures and drop-offs. Spring and fall are your best bets, but you can catch 'em year-round. Trout are known for their light, flaky meat - perfect for the dinner table. They're fun to catch too, often hitting topwater lures with explosive strikes. Here's a tip: try slow-trolling along grass lines with a jig or live shrimp. When you find a school, it's game on. Just remember, these guys have soft mouths, so don't horse them in. Sea Trout put up a good fight and are a blast on light tackle.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead are a unique-looking fish with those human-like teeth and black stripes. Most run 1-8 pounds, but you might luck into a 20-pounder. Look for them around any structure with barnacles - docks, bridges, jetties. They're masters at stealing bait, so when you feel that nibble, set the hook hard. Spring is prime time as they gather to spawn. Anglers love targeting sheepshead for the challenge and their excellent table fare. The white, flaky meat is delicious. Here's a local trick - scrape some barnacles off a piling to chum them up. Just be careful of those sharp dorsal spines when you're handling one. Sheepshead put up a good fight for their size and outsmarting them is half the fun.
Tripletail
Tripletail are an odd-looking fish that can give you a surprise. They usually run 2 to 13 pounds but can get up to 40. You'll find them floating near the surface, often mimicking debris. Look around weed lines, buoys, or any floating structure. Summer is prime time when they move inshore to spawn. Anglers love targeting tripletail for their acrobatic fights and excellent table fare. They're known for their firm, tasty meat - some folks say it's like snapper. Here's a local trick: approach them quietly and cast past them, then slowly retrieve your bait. Live shrimp or small crabs work great. Be ready for a jump when they hit. Tripletail may look lazy, but they'll give you a run for your money once hooked.
