Hey there, anglers! Ready to wet a line in Biloxi's rich inshore waters? This 4-hour trip is tailor-made for newcomers and casual fishermen looking to have a blast without the pressure. We'll be chasing after some of the Gulf's most popular gamefish, and I'll make sure you're hooked up all day long. It's all about having fun, learning the ropes, and hopefully landing a few keepers for dinner. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's hit the water!
We're talking a laid-back morning or afternoon on the water, perfect for families, friends, or anyone wanting to try their hand at inshore fishing. For $475, you and up to three buddies can hop aboard my skiff and explore the calm waters north of Biloxi's barrier islands. I've got all the gear you need – rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Even your fishing license is covered. Just bring some snacks, drinks, and maybe a light jacket. We'll be targeting a mix of fish like speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead, and more. And the best part? I'll clean and bag your catch so you can take it home for a fresh fish fry.
Inshore fishing is all about versatility. We might start by drifting live shrimp under a popping cork for specks, then switch to bottom fishing with cut bait for redfish. If the bite is slow, we'll cruise the shorelines, tossing soft plastics or gold spoons for those tailing reds. I'll show you how to work a jig, set the hook, and play a fish like a pro. Don't worry if you've never held a rod before – by the end of the trip, you'll be casting like you've been doing it for years. And hey, if you just want to relax while I do the work, that's cool too. This is your trip, after all!
"Captain Chad was the best guide we've ever had! It was a little windy and rough, but he made SURE we caught fish! Caught lots of speckled trout and Spanish mackerel. I 1000% recommend him!!!" - Raigen
"Captain Chad took us at the last minute because the boat we were supposed to go on was broken down. We had the best time. He made sure that everyone was catching fish and having fun. He went above and beyond to make sure that we got to see dolphins and that my son had the opportunity to catch fish that we weren't really fishing for. I would totally recommend him and his charter. Thank you, Captain Chad helping make memories for our family." - Deanna
"Laid back captain that will put you on a bunch of fish for a great price! If you wanna catch a load of fish Chad Jay is your man! I give him 5 stars and would 10/10 definitely recommend. I will absolutely be back to fish with Captain Chad Jay!" - Tyler
Speckled Trout: These silver beauties with their spotted backs are a favorite among Biloxi anglers. They're quick strikers and put up a good fight on light tackle. We usually find them around grass flats and oyster beds. The best part? They're delicious! Spring and fall are prime times, but we catch 'em year-round.
Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored bruisers are the bulldogs of the flats. They love to hang around structure and will test your drag when hooked. Look for their tell-tale tail as they root for crabs in shallow water. Fall is fantastic for reds, but they're here all year. Nothing beats the pull of a big red on light tackle!
Sheepshead: Don't let those human-like teeth fool you – these striped fighters are tricky to hook but a blast to catch. They love structure and put up a scrappy fight. We find them around pilings and reefs, usually in cooler months. They're masters at stealing bait, so setting the hook quickly is key. Sheepshead are also excellent table fare.
Black Drum: The redfish's cousin, black drum can grow to monster sizes. We usually catch the smaller "puppy drums" inshore, which are perfect for the table. They love crustaceans and put up a stubborn fight. Look for them around docks and bridge pilings, especially in the spring and fall.
Tripletail: These odd-looking fish are a real treat when we find them. They often float near the surface, mimicking debris. Sight-casting to tripletail is a unique challenge that even seasoned anglers get excited about. They're most common in warmer months and are considered a delicacy on the dinner plate.
So there you have it, folks – a hassle-free day of fishing that's perfect for beginners and families. You'll get hands-on experience, plenty of action, and maybe even dinner for the night. Whether you're looking to learn the ropes or just want a relaxing day on the water, this trip has you covered. The fish are biting, the boat's gassed up, and I'm ready to show you the best spots Biloxi has to offer. Don't let this one get away – book your spot now and let's make some fishing memories!

We took the captain's advice to adjust our start time to align with the tide, and the results were incredible! We had an amazing time and caught so many fish. It’s an experience I’ll never forget! Thanks, Chad!

Since it was my son's first time ocean fishing, I decided to keep them close to shore. They’re hooked now! I'm sure we'll remember this as one of the best days ever. Captain Leo was fantastic and knew exactly where to find the fish. We had an amazing time!

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!

Black Drum are real bruisers, often weighing 5-30 pounds but can hit 90 pounds for the big ones. Look for them around oyster beds, mudflats, and inlets where they use those powerful jaws to crush shellfish. Spring's your best bet when they school up to spawn. Anglers love 'em for the strong fight, but stick to smaller ones under 15 pounds if you're planning to eat 'em - the big boys get tough and lose flavor. For bait, fresh crab is hard to beat. It stays on the hook better than shrimp and doesn't attract as many bait-stealers. When you're rigging up, make sure that bait's on the bottom - that's where these guys feed. And don't set the hook too fast; let 'em really take it before you swing.

Redfish, or Red Drum, are a real favorite here in Biloxi. They typically run 28-33 inches, but can get up to 45 inches and 50 pounds. Look for 'em in shallow water, 1-4 feet deep, around oyster reefs and grass flats. They love a muddy bottom. Spring and fall are prime times when they're feeding heavy. Anglers go nuts for these fish 'cause they put up a great fight and taste fantastic. That spot near their tail? It's actually a false eye to fool predators. Here's a local tip: on calm days, cruise the flats and look for their copper-colored backs just breaking the surface. Then, toss a gold spoon or a topwater plug right in front of 'em. When they hit, hang on tight!

Sea Trout, or Speckled Trout as we call 'em, are a favorite around here. They usually run 14-24 inches, but you might luck into a gator trout over 5 pounds. Look for 'em in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love to hang out in 1-4 feet of water, sometimes with their backs exposed. Winter's when they school up in deeper holes. These fish put up a nice fight and make for some fine eating with their mild, flaky meat. Just don't overcook it or it'll turn to mush. Here's a tip: try slow-trolling a jig tipped with shrimp along the edges of grass flats. When you feel that telltale thump, set the hook quick - they've got soft mouths and can throw a lure easy.

Sheepshead are the convicts of our waters - those black and gray stripes are unmistakable. They usually run 1-8 pounds, but the big ones can hit 20. You'll find 'em hanging around any structure with barnacles - docks, bridges, reefs. Spring's prime time when they school up to spawn. Folks love catching these guys 'cause they're crafty bait-stealers and put up a good fight. Plus, that white meat is sweet eating if you can get past those tough scales. Here's a local trick: use a small, strong hook with a piece of fiddler crab. Get it right up against a piling and wait for that telltale nibble. When you feel weight, set the hook hard - their mouths are like concrete. And watch those sharp fins when you're handling 'em!

Tripletail are odd-looking fish that pack a punch. They usually run 18 inches and 2-13 pounds, but can hit 40 pounds. You'll find 'em near the surface around floating debris or structure. Summer's prime time, especially July and August. Anglers love 'em for their acrobatic fights and tasty meat - some say it's as good as snapper. They're sneaky, often floating sideways to mimic debris. Here's how to catch 'em: cruise along weed lines or floating structure, looking for their dark shapes. When you spot one, cast past it and slowly retrieve your bait. I like using live shrimp under a popping cork. Be ready for a quick hookset when they strike, and watch those razor-sharp gill plates when you're handling 'em!
