Hey there, anglers! Ready to hit the rich waters of Biloxi for some serious inshore action? I've got just the trip for you. Our Private Half-Day Inshore Fishing Trip is perfect for both seasoned fishermen and families looking to make some unforgettable memories. We'll be targeting a variety of species north of the barrier islands, where the fishing is hot and the scenery is even better.
Picture this: You're out on the calm, inshore waters of Biloxi, rod in hand, with the sun warming your face. For four solid hours, we'll be chasing after some of the Gulf's most prized inshore species. We're talking Trout, Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Flounder, and if we're lucky, maybe even a Tripletail. The best part? It's a private charter, so it's just you and your crew of up to four people. No sharing the boat with strangers – this trip is all about you.
Don't sweat the small stuff – we've got you covered with all the fishing gear you'll need. Rods, reels, tackle, bait, and even your fishing license are all included. Just bring yourself, some grub, and your favorite drinks. Pro tip: Pack a small cooler to keep your refreshments chilled. We'll be using a mix of techniques, from bottom fishing for those tasty Black Drum to sight casting for tailing Redfish in the shallows. And when it comes to bait, we'll be using everything from live shrimp to artificial lures, depending on what's working best that day.
"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!" - Michael
"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!" - Mark
"We booked a last-minute charter on our way to Biloxi, and 3 Jay's did not disappoint. Our captain was a true pro, keeping us hooked on fish all day. Highly recommend!" - Adrienne
Black Drum: These bruisers are the bulldogs of the inshore world. Known for their distinctive "croaking" sound, Black Drum can grow to over 40 pounds in these waters. They're bottom feeders, so we'll be dropping baits right in their feeding zone. The fight is on when you hook one of these guys – they pull hard and don't give up easily. Spring and fall are prime times for big Black Drum, but we catch them year-round in Biloxi.
Sheepshead: Don't let their goofy grin fool you – these striped bandits are smart and tasty. Sheepshead are structure-loving fish with a mouthful of human-like teeth perfect for crushing crabs and barnacles. We'll target them around pilings, jetties, and reefs. They're notorious bait stealers, so setting the hook quickly is key. Winter and early spring are the best times to catch big Sheepshead as they gather to spawn.
Sea Trout: Also known as Speckled Trout, these spotted beauties are a staple of inshore fishing in Biloxi. They're aggressive feeders and put up a great fight on light tackle. We'll often find them in grass flats, around oyster beds, or near drop-offs. Trout fishing heats up in the spring and fall, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Their soft mouths make for an exciting challenge – finesse is key when reeling them in.
Redfish: The crown jewel of inshore fishing, Redfish (or Red Drum) are known for their copper color and distinctive spot near the tail. These fish can be found in various habitats, from shallow flats to deeper channels. In the fall, we often see them "tailing" in shallow water, presenting a thrilling sight-fishing opportunity. Redfish are hard fighters and can grow to over 40 inches in length. They're available year-round, but fall is particularly good when they school up in large numbers.
Tripletail: Consider yourself lucky if we spot one of these odd-looking fish. Tripletail are ambush predators that often float near the surface, mimicking floating debris. They're not as common as our other targets, but they're a prized catch when we find them. Late spring through summer is your best bet for Tripletail. They fight hard for their size and are absolutely delicious on the dinner table.
Alright, folks, here's the deal – this Private Half-Day Inshore Fishing Trip is the real deal for anyone looking to experience the best of Biloxi's inshore fishing scene. For $475, you and up to three buddies can get out on the water for four hours of non-stop action. We're flexible with start times, so we can work around your schedule and hit the water when the bite is on. And remember, at the end of the trip, I'll clean and pack your catch so you can take home the freshest fish dinner you've ever had. Don't let this opportunity slip away – the fish are biting, and your spot on the boat is waiting. Book now, and let's make some fishing memories that'll have you coming back for more!

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 hefty fighters that can reach 90 pounds, though most we catch are 5-30 pounds. They hang around oyster beds and muddy flats in brackish water. Look for them near structures like docks and bridges too. Spring is prime time as they school up to spawn. Black Drum make a distinctive croaking sound, so keep an ear out. They've got powerful jaws for crushing shellfish, which makes for an interesting fight. The meat's good eating on smaller fish under 15 pounds. For bait, you can't beat a fresh crab or clam. My top tip: Use a heavy enough weight to keep your bait on the bottom where these guys feed. Once you feel that telltale tap-tap, get ready to set the hook hard.
Redfish are a blast to catch and great eating too. They're easy to spot with that distinctive black tail spot. Most we catch are in the 20-30 inch range, but they can grow over 40 inches offshore. Look for them in super shallow water - sometimes with their backs out of the water! They love hanging around oyster beds, grass flats, and marsh edges. Fall is prime time as they school up. Redfish will hit just about anything when they're feeding, from topwater lures to cut bait on the bottom. For a real thrill, try sight-fishing them in clear shallows. Here's a local secret: on calm days, look for their tails sticking up as they root for crabs in the mud. Ease up quietly and make a gentle cast just past them.
Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite inshore species here. They usually run 14-24 inches and 1-5 pounds. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. In winter, they school up in deeper holes. Trout are known for their soft, white meat and fun fight on light tackle. They're suckers for live shrimp, but artificial lures work great too. Try topwater plugs early morning or jigs worked slowly along the bottom. One tip: when you find trout, work the area thoroughly. They often hang in schools, so where there's one, there's likely more. The bite can be subtle, so stay alert and set the hook quickly. These guys have soft mouths, so don't horse them in.
Sheepshead are sneaky bait stealers with human-like teeth and strong jaws. They typically run 1-8 pounds but can hit 20. You'll find them around barnacle-covered structures like docks, bridges, and reefs. Spring's the best time as they gather to spawn. Anglers love targeting sheepshead for their tricky bite and delicious white meat. To catch 'em, get as close to the structure as you can without spooking them. Use light tackle and let your bait sink right next to pilings. Feel for subtle nibbles - these guys are masters at stealing bait. Here's a local trick: scrape some barnacles off the piling to create a chum slick. That'll bring the sheepshead right to you. Just watch those teeth when you're unhooking them!
Tripletail are odd-looking fish that put up a great fight. They usually run 2-13 pounds but can hit 40. You'll find them floating near the surface around anything drifting in the water - buoys, logs, even floating trash. Summer's the best time to target them. Anglers love tripletail for their acrobatic jumps and excellent table fare. Sight-fishing for them is a blast. When you spot one, cast past it and slowly retrieve your bait or lure. Live shrimp under a popping cork works great. Here's a pro tip: approach them slowly and quietly. They spook easily, but if you're stealthy, you can often get multiple casts at the same fish. Once hooked, be ready for some airborne action!
