That fresh pinched dead shrimp dropped w/ a lil weight on a barnacle incrusted structure has been the ticket!!! It’s been typical winter fishing lately the 5 fish that are most common to our water is speckled trout, flounder, black drum, red drum & sheepshead very few if any trash fish. So...

As we approach the end of the year that's certainly not the end of fishing. Here in Biloxi Mississippi we fish all year long. Winter fishing can provide some good fish. The redfish, black drum, speckled trout, flounder and more are still around. As we move into January and February and the water cools off even more we should start seeing large Sheepshead around the bay and around the offshore Barrier Islands. Plan your fishing trip today.

As we move into the winter months, we tend to see more Sheepshead, black drum, redfish, speckled trout and flounder. We fish all year long here in Biloxi. While there's not a large variety of species to catch, the bite is still pretty good. If you're looking to escape the cold hard winners in the North consider Biloxi for a fishing destination!

Fall is on its way. With that, it's usually awesome fishing for redfish in Biloxi Mississippi. October is normally one of the best months to catch slot Reds in the bay and bull Reds around the Barrier Islands. With the water soon cooling off the action will surely heat up. Biloxi Mississippi is the place to be for some of the best fall fishing.

Despite the rain, we've been staying busy on the water. We caught many snapper this season and now looking forward to reeling in some red drum, triple tail, and sheep heads.

The recreational Mississippi state for hire Reds Snapper season has reopened as of Friday, Aug. 12, 2022, and will close once the annual catch limit (ACL) is projected to be met. Only state for hire Charters and recreational fisherman can fish the state season. We fish up to 9 miles south of the barrier islands. The season is projected to stay open through the fall months. This would be an excellent time to catch some beautiful Red Snapper.

    I came down to Gulfport from Atlanta for labor day vacation and hired Captain Leonard to take us fishing. Leonard took great care of us and we caught a ton of really great fish. He gave us tips on being better fisherman as well. I highly recommend Capt. Leonard for your next fishing trip.
