Offshore Fishing
Eight-hour offshore fishing adventure targeting Blue Marlin and Mahi-MahiCaptain Jerry provides decades of experience with all gear includedAccommodates up to six guests for complete Gulf fishing experience
When you want to get serious about offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, Captain Jerry McClure's 8-hour adventure puts you right where the big fish live. This isn't your typical half-day outing – we're talking about a full commitment to the deep waters off Biloxi where Blue Marlin, Swordfish, and trophy Cobia cruise the open ocean. With Captain Jerry's decades of experience reading these waters, you'll spend your day targeting some of the Gulf's most prized gamefish while enjoying the kind of offshore action that keeps anglers coming back season after season.
Your day starts early at the marina where Captain Jerry will get you set up and brief the group on the game plan. With 8 hours on the water, there's no rush – we can run farther offshore to hit the prime fishing grounds where the big pelagics hang out. The boat accommodates up to 6 anglers comfortably, so whether you're bringing the family or a group of fishing buddies, everyone gets plenty of rod time. All your gear, bait, and fishing licenses are covered, plus Captain Jerry provides the local knowledge that makes the difference between a good day and an epic one. Just remember to budget for the 20% mate's fee – these guys work hard to keep your lines in the water and the fish coming to the boat.
We'll be running a serious trolling spread designed to attract everything from fast-moving Mahi-Mahi to the giants like Blue Marlin and Swordfish. Captain Jerry sets up multiple lines at different depths and distances, using a mix of artificial lures, ballyhoo, and live bait depending on what's working best. The boat's equipped with quality Penn and Shimano reels spooled with heavy line – you'll need it when a big Cobia decides to test your drag system. We'll be working structure, temperature breaks, and weed lines where baitfish concentrate and predators follow. When the bite gets hot, we might switch to live bait fishing or even some bottom fishing for Grouper if the conditions are right.

Blue Marlin represent the ultimate offshore prize in these Gulf waters. These apex predators can exceed 400 pounds and put on aerial displays that'll have your heart racing. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall when they're following bait schools along the continental shelf. What makes them so special isn't just their size – it's the intelligence and power they bring to the fight. When a Blue Marlin takes your trolled bait, you'll know it instantly from the screaming drag and the electric energy that hits the entire boat.
Crevalle Jack might not win beauty contests, but they're pound-for-pound some of the strongest fighters in the Gulf. These silver bulldogs average 15-30 pounds and are available year-round, often showing up in big schools around structure and bait balls. They hit hard, dive deep, and never give up – perfect for anglers who want consistent action and a serious arm workout. Plus, they're great table fare when prepared right.
Cobia are the chameleons of the offshore world, often mistaken for sharks when they cruise near the surface. These 30-60 pound bruisers are curious fish that will follow the boat and investigate lures, making for some exciting sight fishing opportunities. Spring and fall migrations bring the biggest fish through Biloxi waters, and their white, flaky meat rivals any premium fish you'll find at the market.
Swordfish fishing requires patience and the right conditions, but when everything lines up, you're in for the fight of a lifetime. These deep-water gladiators can stretch over 10 feet and weigh 200+ pounds. We typically target them during specific weather windows when the seas are calm enough to fish the deeper waters they prefer. Their distinctive bill and incredible stamina make every Swordfish encounter a story you'll be telling for years.
Gag Grouper provide the perfect balance of challenging fight and outstanding eating. These bottom dwellers inhabit rocky structure and artificial reefs where they ambush prey with lightning-fast strikes. Averaging 15-40 pounds, they're strong enough to test your technique but manageable enough that every angler in the group can successfully land one. Their season runs fall through early spring, and their firm, white meat makes them a favorite target for anglers planning a fish fry.
Captain Jerry's full-day trips fill up fast, especially during peak fishing seasons when the offshore bite is at its best. With everything included except your enthusiasm and the mate's tip, this represents serious value for a world-class offshore fishing experience. Eight hours gives you the time to really get into the rhythm of offshore fishing, learn the techniques, and hopefully tangle with some of the Gulf's most sought-after gamefish. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to add new species to your list or someone ready to step up from inshore fishing, this trip delivers the kind of offshore adventure that creates lasting memories and maybe even a new addiction to blue-water fishing.
Step aboard the Gunslinger, a restored 1989 Topaz sportfishing boat that's built for serious Gulf fishing. This 37-foot vessel cuts through Biloxi waters with twin Cat engines pumping 750 horsepower, cruising comfortably at 20 knots to get you to the best fishing spots fast. The spacious layout handles up to 6 anglers with room to work the lines without getting tangled up. When you need a break from fighting fish, cool off with onboard AC, grab cold drinks from the fridge, or catch the game on TV. The flybridge gives you great visibility for spotting birds and bait schools, while the fish finder and GPS help locate structure where cobia, redfish, and other Gulf species hang out. With a full galley, head, and even sleeping quarters, you've got everything needed for a full day chasing pelagics and bottom fish in the deep blue Gulf waters.
Makaira NigricansBlue Marlin are the apex predator out here – females can hit 1,000+ pounds while males stay under 350. They cruise the warm Gulf waters year-round, though spring through fall gives you the best shots when they're closer to the surface. These fish have that signature long bill and can change colors when excited. What makes them special is the fight – they'll jump, run, and test every piece of gear you've got. The meat's good eating too, just watch the mercury. Out here we troll with heavy tackle and artificial lures, but here's the thing most people don't know: when you hook one, keep the boat moving forward at trolling speed for the first few minutes. Stops the fish from getting slack line to throw the hook. These are bucket-list fish that'll give you a story for life.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are like the pickup trucks of offshore fishing – brown, sturdy, and built for work. They average 30-50 pounds but can push 100, swimming solo around structure like oil rigs and wrecks in 30-70 feet of water. Spring migration here in the Gulf is prime time, especially April through June when they're moving and feeding heavy. People love targeting them because they eat great – firm white meat that's restaurant quality – and they put up a solid fight without the crazy acrobatics. You'll often spot them cruising just under the surface, which makes for exciting sight fishing. My go-to trick is using a bucktail jig in any color – weight doesn't matter as much as the action. Work it with steady pumps off the bottom and be ready for that thump.
Caranx HipposCrevalle Jack are the bulldogs of the Gulf – silver-sided fighters that average 3-5 pounds but can push 20+ when you find the big ones. They school up around structure like oil rigs, wrecks, and anywhere baitfish gather. Look for diving birds – that's your best sign these guys are pushing mullet to the surface. They hit hard and fight dirty, making long runs that'll test your drag. Spring through fall are prime time when they're most active in our waters. The meat's decent, but most folks fish them for the sport. Here's a local tip: when you spot a school working, cast past them and retrieve fast through the edge of the school. Don't cast right into the middle or you'll spook the whole bunch.
Mycteroperca MicrolepisGag Grouper are the bread-and-butter bottom fish around here, averaging 20 inches but growing to 50+ pounds on the right structure. They live around rocky bottom, reefs, and wrecks where they can ambush prey and duck for cover. The meat is what makes them special – firm, white fillets that are hard to beat on the dinner table. Spring through fall are your best bets when they're most active in our Gulf waters. These fish fight smart, not flashy – they'll immediately head for the rocks to cut your line, so you need to muscle them up quick. Circle hooks are required by law, and live bait like pinfish or mullet works best. Pro tip: once you hook one, lock that drag down tight and keep your rod tip low – don't give them an inch or they'll find a hole to hide in.
Xiphias GladiusSwordfish are the night shift workers of deep water – massive fish averaging 9 feet and 400 pounds that live in 1,500+ feet. They come up to 300 feet at night to feed, which is when we target them with deep-drop techniques. These are bucket-list fish with that distinctive flat sword and the ability to heat their own eyes and brain to hunt in cold, dark water. The meat is outstanding – dense, meaty steaks that grill perfectly. Peak season here runs April through September when they're most active. The fight is different – more bulldogging than jumping, but the sheer size makes every run memorable. Here's the key: use bright LED lights to attract squid and baitfish, then drop your rigged squid or chunk bait right in that light cone. Patience is everything with swordfish.
