If you're ready to put your angling skills to the test in some of the Gulf Coast's most productive waters, this 4-hour inshore fishing trip with Three Jays Charters is exactly what you've been looking for. We're talking about serious fishing time in Biloxi's back bays and marshes, where the water holds everything from bull redfish to keeper-sized speckled trout. This isn't a beginner's tour – it's designed for anglers who know their way around a rod and want to make every cast count. You'll fish the prime spots north of the barrier islands where the baitfish stack up and the predators follow. With everything included except your cooler full of snacks, you can focus on what matters most: putting fish in the boat.
Your captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's going to put you on fish from the moment you leave the dock. We're fishing the productive flats, grass beds, and structure where Biloxi's inshore species love to hang out. The boat comes rigged with quality rods and reels, plus all the terminal tackle you'll need – circle hooks, jig heads, weights, and fresh bait to match what the fish are eating. You'll work everything from live shrimp under popping corks to soft plastics bounced along the bottom. The flexible start time means you can hit the water when conditions are prime, whether that's an early morning bite or an afternoon pattern. Your catch goes straight into the provided cooler, and at day's end, the crew handles all the cleaning and bagging so your fillets are ready for the freezer or tonight's dinner table.
This trip covers the sweet spots where Biloxi Bay meets the marsh systems – areas loaded with oyster beds, grass flats, and drop-offs that hold fish year-round. You'll be working both artificial lures and live bait depending on what's producing. Expect to throw everything from gold spoons and topwater plugs to Carolina-rigged shrimp and jigs tipped with gulp. The captain reads the water conditions, wind, and tide to determine the best approach for each spot. Some days you'll be sight-casting to tailing redfish in skinny water, other times you'll be working deeper channels where the trout school up. The boat is equipped with a shallow-water anchor and push pole for those moments when stealth fishing pays off. GPS marks on productive structure mean less time searching and more time with your line in the water.
Redfish are the backbone of Biloxi's inshore fishery, and these copper-colored bruisers put up the kind of fight that makes your drag sing. You'll find them cruising the shallow flats during high tide and staging around oyster bars when the water drops. Peak season runs from spring through fall, with fish ranging from slot-size keepers to oversized bulls that'll test your tackle. What makes reds special here is their aggressive nature – they'll crush a topwater plug at first light or inhale a live shrimp drifted past a marsh point.
Speckled Trout are the bread and butter species that keep local anglers coming back. These spotted beauties relate to grass beds and drop-offs, especially where moving water creates feeding opportunities. The best bite often happens during cooler months when trout stack up in deeper holes, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. A quality speck weighs 2-3 pounds and provides excellent table fare with sweet, flaky meat that's perfect for the grill.
Sheepshead are the challenge fish that separate skilled anglers from weekend warriors. These black-and-white striped convicts hang around structure with their crushing jaws ready to steal your bait. You'll find them on pilings, reefs, and oyster bars where they pick off crabs and barnacles. The bite is subtle but the fight is strong, and a 4-pound sheepshead makes for outstanding eating with firm white fillets.
Black Drum patrol the same areas as redfish but grow much larger, with fish over 30 pounds common in these waters. They use their chin barbels to root out crabs and worms from the bottom, creating those telltale mud clouds that give away their location. Spring brings the best drum fishing when these giants move shallow to spawn, and landing one on light tackle is a memory you won't forget.
Tripletail are the bonus fish that make any trip special. These oddly-shaped gamefish float near structure, debris, and crab traps where they ambush prey. They're masters of camouflage, looking like floating leaves until they explode on your bait. Tripletail are excellent table fare and provide surprising fights for their size, making them a prized catch among local guides and charter customers.
This top-rated charter fills up fast, especially during peak fishing seasons when the bite is hot. At $475 for your group of four, you're getting professional guide service, quality gear, and access to Biloxi's most productive inshore waters. The crew handles your licenses, provides all tackle and bait, and even cleans your catch – you just need to show up ready to fish. Whether you're planning a guys' trip, celebrating a special occasion, or just want to test your skills against some of the Gulf Coast's best inshore species, this half-day adventure delivers the goods. Don't wait until the prime dates are gone – book your spot with Three Jays Charters and get ready for some serious fishing action in Mississippi's legendary inshore waters.
Step into this fully restored 22' Triton bay boat and get ready to target Biloxi's best inshore species. Powered by a reliable 200HP Yamaha engine, this fishing machine cuts through Mississippi coastal waters with ease while the wireless trolling motor lets you slip quietly into those prime redfish and speckled trout spots. The GPS and fishfinder combo helps locate structure and bait schools, while the live bait well keeps your offerings fresh and active. With an icebox onboard, your catch stays cold from hook to dock. Built for serious anglers, this boat comfortably fishes up to four people and gives you access to productive waters north of the barrier islands where sheepshead, black drum, flounder, and tripletail cruise the flats and structure.
Pogonias CromisBlack Drum are powerhouse fighters that'll test your gear. These gray-black bruisers typically run 5-30 pounds around Biloxi, but we've seen monsters pushing 60+ pounds. They love shallow oyster beds and muddy flats where they crush crabs and mollusks with jaws like a vise. Spring is prime time when they school up for spawning - that's when you'll find the best action. What makes them special is that distinctive drumming sound they make underwater. The smaller ones under 15 pounds are great eating with firm, white meat. Here's the key: use fresh crab on the bottom and be patient. These fish are notorious for picking at bait before committing, so when you feel that steady pull, set the hook hard and hold on.
Sciaenops OcellatusRedfish are the crown jewel of Gulf Coast fishing, and for good reason. These copper-colored fighters with that signature black spot near the tail typically run 18-30 inches in our waters. They love super shallow flats where you can actually see their backs out of water, plus oyster bars and grass beds. Spring and fall are prime, but they bite year-round here. What gets anglers hooked is that explosive topwater strike - there's nothing like watching a big red blow up on a surface plug. They're also excellent table fare with firm, sweet meat. The secret to redfish success is staying quiet and making long casts. These fish are spooky in shallow water, so approach slowly and use topwater baits or soft plastics worked over the grass.
Salmo TruttaSpeckled trout are the bread and butter of Biloxi inshore fishing. These silver beauties with black spots typically run 14-20 inches and put up a spirited fight on light tackle. You'll find them over grass flats, around drop-offs, and in 3-8 feet of water. They're most active during cooler months and low-light periods - dawn and dusk are prime time. What makes trout special is their delicate, flaky white meat that's perfect for the dinner table. They're also great for beginners since they're aggressive and plentiful. The key to consistent trout fishing is working soft plastics slow and steady along the bottom. Try a 1/4 oz jig head with a paddle tail - cast it out and work it back with gentle twitches.
Archosargus ProbatocephalusSheepshead are the convict fish of our waters with those distinctive black stripes and human-like teeth. These crafty 2-8 pounders hang tight around dock pilings, bridge structures, and anything with barnacles they can scrape off. They're notorious bait thieves - they'll nibble your shrimp clean off the hook if you're not paying attention. Spring through early summer is when they're most active in our area. What guests love about sheepshead is the challenge - they require finesse and quick reflexes. Plus, they're some of the best eating fish we catch with sweet, flaky white meat. Pro tip: get your bait as close to structure as possible and set the hook the second you feel weight. Don't give them time to steal your bait.
Lobotes SurinamensisTripletail are one of our most unique catches - oddball fish that look like floating debris until they strike. These chunky, olive-colored fish average 2-13 pounds and have this cool ability to change colors. You'll spot them floating near the surface around weed lines, channel markers, and floating structure. Summer months are best, especially July and August when they're spawning. What makes tripletail special is their acrobatic fight - they jump and thrash like crazy for such stocky fish. Plus, they taste amazing, similar to snapper or grouper. The trick is sight fishing - once you spot one lying on its side, cast well past it and slowly work your bait back. They spook easily, so stealth is key.
