Today's trip was a joint trip with Salty Bridges Charters out of Biloxi, MS. Conditions were perfect for heading south to fish out around our barrier islands. The day started with a quick trout bite followed by a steady sheepshead bite. We ended the day searching for Cobia where we landed one solid keeper to end the day. Clear skies and a rising tide all day made for solid fishing and even better memories made!

5 stars! We had a fun and memorable fishing trip with the family! Captain Conner was awesome! He took us to a couple of spots with great results.
