Top-Rated Biloxi Inshore Fishing | Three Jays

Reel in Fun: Biloxi's Beginner-Friendly Fishing Trip

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!

What's the Deal?

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.

Fishing 101: Biloxi Style

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!

What Folks Are Saying

"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

Fish on the Menu

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.
