Chandeleur Islands Boat & Wade Fishing Trips…

Experience the ultimate destination fishing adventure with our Chandeleur Islands fishing trips. These trips offer a unique opportunity to fish in some of the most pristine and productive waters in the Gulf of America along the renowned Chandeleur Island chain.

The chain of islands are approximately 43 miles long and are located approximately 26 miles off the coast of Mississippi. The Chandeleur Islands are part of the Breton National Wildlife Refuge that is home to numerous bird species, and some of which that are very rare and use the island as critical nesting habitat. This chain of barrier islands provides an ideal habitat for a variety of fish species due to its shallow, sandy bottom with grass beds, gin clear waters, and abundant marine life. The islands are renowned for their excellent wade fishing opportunities, particularly for speckled trout and redfish. It is a conventional tackle and fly fishing anglers dream destination!

This is a one of a kind fishing trip due to its remoteness and its bountiful fish and wildlife species! The run out to the islands takes around an hour, but a little less during calm conditions. While on this trip, you will need to pack accordingly and bring sunscreen and depending on the time of the year, some bug repellent to ward off any angry mosquitoes. Be sure to pack some snacks and enjoy your trip of a lifetime!

I give captain Mark a 5 star! He is knowledgeable, friendly, and a real pleasure to do business with. Although we didn't have the pleasure of many different species of fish biting it was still worth the monies spent to be out on the water with him and his deck hand Tyler. I would recommend him 100%.
