About Your Trip

Join Captain Leo for a fun and action-packed inshore fishing adventure along Mississippi's beautiful coastal waters. Whether you're an experienced angler looking to target a variety of species or a family searching for a memorable day on the water, these 3- and 4-hour trips offer the perfect opportunity to experience the diverse fishing opportunities found around Biloxi and the Mississippi Sound.

Captain Leo specializes in fishing productive bottom structure throughout the Mississippi Sound, Back Bay
of Biloxi, Biloxi River, and the nearby barrier islands. These waters provide excellent habitat for a wide range of inshore and nearshore species, making every trip a chance to hook into something different. Depending on the season and conditions, anglers may target Flounder, Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, White Trout, Pompano, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, and even Sharks.

To give guests the best chance at success, Captain Leo uses proven local techniques and a variety of effective natural baits including live shrimp, live mullet, and pogies. Fishing is done with quality Penn Fierce 5000 spinning reels spooled with 20- to 30-pound test line, providing the strength and reliability needed to handle everything from hard-fighting Redfish to powerful Jacks and Sharks.

One of the best parts of these trips is the variety. You may spend part of the day fishing structure for Sheepshead and Black Drum, drifting productive areas for Trout and Flounder, or battling powerful fish along the islands and deeper channels. The changing conditions and abundance of species keep every trip exciting from the first cast to the last.

These trips are family-friendly and welcoming to anglers of all ages and experience levels. Captain Leo enjoys introducing kids to fishing and helping new anglers learn the basics while ensuring experienced fishermen have every opportunity to target quality fish. Whether you're looking to catch dinner, learn new techniques, or simply enjoy time on the water with family and friends, he'll work hard to create a fun and memorable experience.

Captain Leo provides all rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing equipment needed for the trip. All you need to bring are your favorite drinks, snacks, weather-appropriate clothing, and a positive attitude.

Come experience the outstanding fishing opportunities of Mississippi's coastal waters with Captain Leo and discover why the Mississippi Sound, Biloxi River, and surrounding bays are such popular destinations for anglers year-round. Whether you're chasing your first Redfish or hoping to fill the cooler, there's always something biting.

It was the highlight of my trip and the best fishing experience I’ve ever been on. I would highly recommend going out with captain Leonard, he was very helpful and helped me catch a good bit of fish. My only regret is not booking sooner.

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.
