Types of Fishing

Fishing Charters Gulfport MS offer a lot of water options. We commonly use trolling, bottom fishing, light or heavy tackle, jigging, and more.
If bottom fishing, we use heavy tackle for Red Snapper. These red beauties live and love hanging around underwater structures. You can catch them only in deeper water, which in many cases is in Federal waters and have a very specific season to when they can be caught and harvested. You can catch them on cut fish, so most of the bait is cut fresh onboard the vessel. Artificial reefs are one of the favorite places for Red, Mangrove and Vermillion Snapper to hangout.

Inshore fishing, you can catch plenty of Redfish, using shrimp, blue crabs, and topwater lures. Trout can be caught year-round, but peak in spring and fall.

When fishing for Kings, trolling is a great method. As they move around the Gulf, you can find them at various latitudes, offshore and shoal waters alike. When targeting their Spanish relatives, use fast-moving silvery lures, but watch out for those razor-sharp teeth when removing them from the hook.

Feisty, Cobia, locally called ‘lemonfish’, flock around buoys and anchored vessels. We use small catfish and white mullet as live bait, but we can also jig and see if Cobia will chase it. Catch hard-fighting Amberjacks with a line testing 50 +lb tackle. If you would prefer to try catching them on light tackle or fly, were happy to accommodate as well.

★★★★★
Jared and Noah are amazing!! They were extremely patient with the 3 kiddos on the boat and helped them reel in some pretty big fish. They were encouraging and answered all their questions. As a first timer, it was quite a site to see them in action! We hit our limit of 12 on a noon charter. Would definitely recommend them and look forward to doing another next year.
