About Your Trip

Get ready to experience the Mississippi Gulf Coast with Captain Hunter on a fishing adventure built around whatever is biting best!

Depending on the season and conditions, you could find yourself chasing Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Flounder, Tripletail, Spanish and King Mackerel, Cobia, Jack Crevalle, Sharks, and more. Captain Hunter will adjust the game plan throughout the year to give your group the best opportunity for a productive day on the water.

You'll use a variety of techniques depending on your targets, including light and heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, and popping. Whether you're an experienced angler looking to get right into the action or bringing the family out for a day of fishing, Captain Hunter is happy to work with all experience levels.

Your ride for the day is a spacious 30' Island Hopper with room for up to 6 guests. There's plenty of seating and shade to keep your group comfortable, along with an onboard toilet for added convenience. The boat is also equipped with GPS, a fishfinder, and a live bait well.

Captain Hunter provides the rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and fishing licenses needed for the trip. Your catch can also be cleaned and filleted at the end of the day, so you'll be ready to take home some fresh Gulf Coast fish when the bite cooperates.

A First Mate will be aboard to keep everything running smoothly, helping with bait, tackle, landing fish, and whatever else your group needs throughout the trip.

All you need to bring is an ice chest stocked with plenty of water, drinks, snacks, and any food you'd like for the day. Kids are more than welcome, making this a great option for families looking to experience the Mississippi Gulf Coast together.

Choose from 4, 5, or 6 hours on the water and come see what Captain Hunter can put you on!

About Your Guide

Hunter V.

Independent Guide

Captain Hunter has spent the last 30 years fishing the Mississippi Gulf Coast, developing a deep connection with the local waters and the fish that call them home.

After a lifetime spent fishing recreationally, Captain Hunter turned that passion into a career and has spent the past 5 years working professionally in the charter industry. Now, he's taking the next step and running trips of his own, giving him the opportunity to share everything he's learned with anglers visiting the Gulf Coast.

For Captain Hunter, though, this is about more than simply starting a fishing business. As a father of three, one of his biggest motivations is building something his children can grow up around while sharing the same love for fishing and the outdoors that has played such a major role in his own life.

On the water, Captain Hunter welcomes everyone from first-time anglers and families to experienced fishermen. He'll tailor the day around the conditions and your group, whether that means working light tackle for Redfish and Speckled Trout, bottom fishing, trolling for seasonal species, or getting after hard-fighting Sharks.

After three decades on these waters, Captain Hunter is excited to share the Mississippi Gulf Coast fishery with his guests and help create the same kind of memories on the water that have kept him fishing all these years.
