Six-hour offshore fishing charter targeting shark and redfishCaptain with 25+ years experience provides all equipment includedPrivate boat accommodates up to six guests maximum
When you're looking for a serious fishing trip along Mississippi's Gulf Coast, this private 6-hour charter out of Biloxi delivers exactly what you need. Captain with over 25 years on these waters knows every drop-off, structure, and current that holds fish. You'll have the boat to yourself and up to 5 buddies, which means no crowds, no waiting for other anglers to finish their fights, and all the time you want to work those productive spots. The Gulf waters off Biloxi are loaded with variety – from aggressive blacktip sharks prowling the shallows to schools of Spanish mackerel cutting through the blue water. Pack your cooler with drinks and snacks because this all-day adventure starts early and keeps you busy until the afternoon.
This charter covers all the bases – inshore grass flats where redfish cruise in skinny water, offshore structure that holds everything from mackerel to sharks, and those productive middle grounds where the action can be non-stop. Your captain reads the conditions each morning and makes the call on where to spend your time based on tides, weather, and what's been biting. Some days that means running out to the deeper water for bigger fish, other days it's working the inshore spots where you can sight-cast to tailing reds. The 6-hour window gives you enough time to hit multiple areas and adjust the game plan if one spot isn't producing. All your licenses, bait, tackle, and ice come with the trip, so you're covered on gear. Just bring yourself, some food and drinks, and get ready to put some fish in the box.
The boat comes rigged for whatever the day throws at you. Light tackle setups for working the flats and targeting redfish around structure, heavy gear for when the sharks show up and want to test your drag system. Trolling spreads for covering water and finding schools of Spanish mackerel, plus all the bottom rigs and live bait setups for working reefs and drop-offs. Drift fishing is a big part of the program here – letting the boat move naturally with the current while you work jigs and live bait through the strike zone. When the mackerel are running, you'll switch to faster presentations with spoons and small lures that mimic the baitfish they're hammering. The captain handles all the rigging and re-rigging, so you can focus on fishing instead of tying knots. Whether you're a light tackle enthusiast or prefer the heavy stuff, there's gear on board that matches your style.
Sheepshead are the thinking angler's fish around Biloxi's structure. These black-and-white striped convict fish have mouths full of human-like teeth designed for crushing barnacles and crabs off pilings and rocks. They're notorious bait thieves with light bites that feel like a gentle tick-tick-tick, then nothing. The trick is setting the hook at the first sign of weight. Spring and fall are prime time when they stack up around bridges, oil rigs, and rock piles. A good sheepshead runs 3-5 pounds, but the big ones push double digits and fight like they're twice their size.
Redfish are the bread and butter of inshore fishing here, and these copper-colored bulldogs never give up easy. They cruise the grass flats, ambush bait around oyster bars, and school up in deeper channels during temperature swings. Fall brings the best action when schools of slot-size reds (16-27 inches) work the shallows in packs of dozens. Bull reds over 27 inches are catch-and-release only, but they'll give you a workout that leaves your arms shaking. These fish eat everything from live shrimp to cut bait to artificial lures, making them perfect for anglers of all skill levels.
Blacktip sharks bring the adrenaline factor to every trip. These sleek predators patrol the same areas as redfish but add aerial acrobatics to their fighting style. A hooked blacktip will jump, spin, and run line off your reel like a freight train. Most run 3-6 feet long, which is the perfect size for a memorable fight without getting into dangerous territory. Summer months bring them into shallow water where you can sight-fish for them, watching their dorsal fins cut the surface as they hunt. They're excellent table fare when handled properly, with firm white meat that's perfect for the grill.
Spanish mackerel are speed demons that travel in schools and attack with lightning-fast strikes. These silver bullets with tiger-stripe markings love to slash through bait balls, creating feeding frenzies that can keep you busy for hours. They're perfect on light tackle, making screaming runs and jumping clear of the water. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall when they follow bait migrations along the coast. A day when the Spanish are thick is pure chaos – multiple hookups, bent rods everywhere, and non-stop action that keeps everyone on the boat busy.

Carcharhinus LimbatusBlacktip sharks are some of the most exciting fish we target, averaging 4-5 feet but capable of reaching over 9 feet and 200+ pounds. These sharks love our Gulf waters from spring through fall, cruising in 50-200 feet around structure and drop-offs. What makes them special is their acrobatic nature - they'll jump clean out of the water when hooked, spinning and thrashing in ways that'll get your heart pumping. They're strong fighters that make long runs and test your drag system. We typically find them following bait schools, especially around oil rigs and artificial reefs. The key to success is fresh, oily bait - mackerel, sardines, or herring work best. Set up a good chum line and be patient. When you hook one, keep steady pressure but let them run when they want to. These sharks are catch-and-release only, but the fight alone makes the trip worthwhile.
Sciaenops OcellatusRedfish are the bread and butter of our inshore fishing, running anywhere from slot-sized 16-27 inchers up to bull reds over 40 pounds. You'll find them cruising the shallow flats in just 1-4 feet of water around oyster bars, grass beds, and marsh edges where they tail and cruise looking for crabs and shrimp. Fall and spring offer the hottest action when they school up. What guests love most is watching these copper-colored fish with that signature black spot cruise right up to the boat in gin-clear water. They fight hard, make long runs, and the smaller ones are fantastic eating with sweet, flaky meat. The big bulls are pure adrenaline. Best tip I can give you: when you spot one tailing in shallow water, cast your shrimp or soft plastic well ahead of where they're headed and let it settle. Patience pays off with these fish.
Archosargus ProbatocephalusSheepshead are some of the smartest fish you'll target around here, easily recognized by their black and white prison stripes and those creepy human-like teeth. These convict fish typically run 1-8 pounds and hang tight around any structure - docks, bridge pilings, oil rigs, anywhere barnacles grow. Spring through early summer gives you the best action when they're feeding heavy before spawn. What makes them special? That white, flaky meat is restaurant-quality, but landing one takes skill since they're notorious bait thieves. They'll nibble and steal your shrimp or fiddler crab right off the hook. Here's the trick: use a small hook, keep your bait tight to the structure, and when you feel that first tap, don't wait - set the hook hard. Their crushing jaws can straighten hooks, so be ready for a solid fight once hooked.
Scomberomorus MaculatusSpanish mackerel are speed demons that show up in our waters from late spring through fall, typically running 1-3 pounds and stretching 12-20 inches. These silver bullets with yellow spots travel in large schools near the surface around structures, drop-offs, and anywhere baitfish concentrate. What makes them popular is the non-stop action - when you find a school, you can catch them back-to-back until your arms ache. They're also excellent table fare with white, mild meat that's perfect grilled or smoked. These fish hit fast and fight hard for their size, making screaming runs on light tackle. The trick is using small, shiny spoons or jigs and keeping them moving. When trolling, use planers to get down to where they're feeding, usually 10-20 feet deep. Once you hook up, don't slow down - keep working the same area because where there's one, there's usually a hundred more.
