What types of black drum fishing charters are common in Mississippi?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for black drum in Mississippi as well as inshore fishing and nearshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Mississippi are light tackle fishing, bottom fishing, and trolling but heavy tackle fishing and live bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do Mississippi black drum fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    Friendly guides, on time, good boat, caught lots of trout, good trip.

    Michael S. with Tony M. of Biloxi, Mississippi

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Mike and James (deckhand) were very friendly and engaging. They did a great job of getting us out to locations where we caught fish species like Black Tip Shark, Jack Crevalle, and Bonito. James was extremely helpful with the fishing lines (baiting, casting, storing the fish, etc.). The boat is a nice boat and below deck was nice and cool if any of us wanted to cool off for a minute between catching. All in all, it was a great trip and we look forward to more trips in the future!

    Robert L. with Mike F. of Biloxi, Mississippi

  • ★★★★★
    The boat was nice. The captain was excellent. She was hard working and friendly. The only complaint I would have is the spot lock trolling motor did not work due to battery issues. As a result we spent a lot of time to set anchor every time we moved and she couldn’t get us to some spots like she wanted. I hope the boat owner will address this issue.
