Private 4hour inshore charter targets redfish and speckled troutAll equipment, licenses, and fish cleaning services includedUp to four guests fish productive Biloxi weekend waters
If you're looking for a top-rated fishing charter that delivers consistent action without burning a whole day, this 4-hour weekend trip with Three Jays Charters hits the sweet spot. Captain Chad knows these Biloxi waters like the back of his hand, working the productive flats and structure north of the barrier islands where redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead call home. At $475 for up to four anglers, you're getting serious value with everything included – rods, reels, tackle, bait, licenses, and even fish cleaning at the end. Just show up with your crew, some snacks, and drinks, and get ready to put some quality fish in the cooler.
This isn't one of those rush-job charters where you're herded around like cattle. With flexible start times and a private boat setup, Captain Chad tailors each trip to what's biting and what your group wants to target. The inshore waters around Biloxi offer incredible diversity – one minute you might be sight-casting to tailing redfish in skinny water, the next you're working structure for fat sheepshead or drifting grass flats for speckled trout. The boat comes equipped with a cooler and ice, so your catch stays fresh while you keep fishing. When the day wraps up, your fish get cleaned, bagged, and packed for the ride home, which is a nice touch that saves you the messy work later.
Captain Chad runs a well-equipped boat with quality rods and reels matched to the species you'll be targeting. For redfish and black drum, expect medium-heavy spinning gear that can handle these bulldogs when they make their runs. Speckled trout fishing calls for lighter tackle and finesse presentations – soft plastics, live shrimp, and small jigs work magic on these finicky feeders. Sheepshead fishing is all about precision and patience, using fiddler crabs or shrimp around structure where these convict-striped fish love to hang. The captain adjusts techniques throughout the trip based on conditions and what's producing, whether that means switching from artificial lures to live bait or moving to different structure when the bite slows down.
"Super chill captain at a fair price he was able to put us on a limit of sheepshead before 10am so we swapped it up and cought a shark and a triple tail. 5 star would recommend and will definitely come back" - Darren
"My husband and I have been on numerous charters, but Captain Chad truly exceeded all our expectations! His friendly nature and deep knowledge of the local fishing spots are remarkable. He put us on fish every time and was quick to adjust if the bite slowed, making the most of our time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience." - Jessie
"Captain Chad is a great guy who put me on some solid keeper fish, and we had a blast even with the undersized ones. I learned a lot and even had a couple of tries for triple tail, which was a first for me. If you want a down-to-earth guy who knows how to get you on the fish, he's the one to go with!" - Michael
Redfish are the backbone of Biloxi's inshore scene, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers love the shallow flats and marsh edges, especially during moving tides when they're actively feeding. Bull reds can push 30+ inches and will test your drag system with powerful runs. They're most active during warmer months but can be caught year-round in deeper water during winter. What makes redfish special is their willingness to eat both live and artificial baits, plus they fight hard and taste even better on the dinner table.
Speckled trout, or "specks" as locals call them, are the bread and butter of Gulf Coast fishing. These spotted beauties prefer grass flats and drop-offs where they ambush baitfish and shrimp. Peak season runs from spring through fall, with early morning and late afternoon producing the best action. A good speck will run 15-20 inches, and they're known for their delicate bite that requires a gentle hook set. They're also excellent table fare, making them a customer favorite for families wanting to bring home a quality fish fry.
Sheepshead are the ultimate test of an angler's patience and skill. These black-and-white striped fish hang around structure like bridge pilings, jetties, and artificial reefs where they pick off barnacles and crabs. They have tiny mouths and are notorious bait stealers, earning them the nickname "convict fish." When you do hook up, expect a scrappy fight and some of the best eating fish in the Gulf. Peak season runs from late fall through early spring when they're staging for their spawning runs.
Black drum are the heavyweights of the inshore waters, with mature fish reaching impressive sizes. They're bottom feeders that love crabs and shrimp, often found in the same areas as redfish but typically in slightly deeper water. These bronze-colored fighters make powerful runs and can test even experienced anglers. They're most active during cooler months and provide consistent action when other species slow down. Smaller black drum make excellent table fare, while the big ones are best released to fight another day.
Southern flounder are masters of camouflage, lying flat on sandy or muddy bottoms waiting to ambush passing baitfish. These flatfish are most active during fall migrations when they move from inshore waters toward the Gulf for spawning. They love current edges, drop-offs, and areas where clean water meets muddy water. Flounder fishing requires precise presentations and quick hook sets since they often grab bait and immediately head back to the bottom. They're prized for their sweet, white
Hit the productive inshore waters around Biloxi aboard this fully restored 22' Triton bay boat that's built for serious fishing. Powered by a reliable 200HP Yamaha engine, this rig gets you to the hot spots quickly and runs smooth in the shallow bays where redfish and speckled trout like to feed. The wireless trolling motor lets you position quietly over structure without spooking fish, while the GPS and fishfinder help locate schools and mark productive areas. Perfect for up to four anglers, you'll have plenty of deck space to work lures and fight fish. The live bait well keeps your shrimp and croakers lively, and the onboard icebox ensures your catch stays fresh on the ride back to the dock. Whether you're casting to redfish in the grass or drifting for trout over oyster bars, this bay boat handles the shallow waters north of the barrier islands like it was made for it.
Pogonias CromisBlack Drum are the heavyweights of our inshore waters, commonly running 5-30 pounds with some giants pushing 90. These powerful fish hang around oyster beds, muddy flats, and structure where they crush shellfish with their strong jaws. Spring is peak season when they school up for spawning - that's when you'll find the best action. They're famous for their deep, drumming sounds you can actually hear underwater. What guests love is the hard pull and stubborn fight they put up. The smaller ones under 15 pounds make excellent table fare, but the big bulls get tough and stringy. My go-to technique is fresh crab or cut mullet on the bottom around oyster bars. Here's the key - use just enough weight to hold bottom and keep your bait still. Black drum are picky eaters that like to inspect their meal, so patience pays off when targeting these bruisers.
Sciaenops OcellatusRedfish are our most popular inshore target, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers typically run 20-35 inches with that distinctive black spot near their tail. They love super shallow water - sometimes so shallow their backs stick out - around grass flats, oyster bars, and marsh edges. Year-round fishing is good, but fall brings the best action when they school up. What guests love is the aggressive strikes and bulldogging fight they put up in shallow water. They're also excellent eating in the slot size range. You'll find them tailing in skinny water or cruising the flats looking for crabs and shrimp. My favorite approach is sight fishing with topwater plugs or live shrimp under a popping cork. Pro tip: when you see one tailing, cast well past the fish and work your bait back toward them. They spook easily in shallow water, so keep the boat quiet and make long casts.
Archosargus ProbatocephalusSheepshead are the craftiest fish in our waters, earning the nickname "convict fish" for their black and white stripes. These structure-loving fish typically run 1-8 pounds and 14-20 inches, hanging tight around docks, bridges, and any barnacle-covered pilings. They're year-round residents, but winter months bring the best action when they school up for spawning. What makes them special are those human-like teeth they use to crush barnacles and crabs. They're notorious bait thieves and provide a fun challenge, plus they're some of the best eating fish around with sweet, flaky white meat. The key is getting your bait right against the structure - they won't move far from cover. Use small hooks with live or fresh-dead shrimp, and here's my trick: when you feel that subtle nibble, don't hesitate. Set the hook hard immediately because they'll steal your bait every time if you wait.
Paralichthys LethostigmaSouthern Flounder are masters of disguise that bury themselves in sand and mud bottoms, waiting to ambush prey. These flatfish typically run 15-18 inches and around 5 pounds, though you might hook into one pushing 30+ inches. They're found in shallow bays, estuaries, and around structure where they can camouflage perfectly. Spring and fall are prime times when they move through our area. What makes them special is their unique appearance - both eyes on one side of their head - and they're fantastic eating with sweet, flaky meat. The fight isn't flashy, but landing one always feels rewarding. My tip: use live shrimp or small mullet on a light jig head and work it slow along the bottom. When you feel that subtle tap, give them a second to take the bait before setting the hook - they're notorious for stealing bait if you're too quick.
Lobotes SurinamensisTripletail are one of our most unique catches - strange-looking fish that float on their sides near the surface, mimicking debris or weeds. They average 2-13 pounds but can reach 40, with olive coloring and those three fins that give them their name. Summer through early fall is prime time when they move through our area. You'll spot them around floating structure, weed lines, or just drifting solo near the surface. They're becoming a favorite with fly fishermen because they're surprisingly acrobatic for such an odd-shaped fish, plus they taste fantastic - comparable to snapper or grouper. The challenge is getting close enough without spoking them. They're extremely wary and will disappear at the first sign of trouble. My approach is to cast well beyond the fish with live shrimp or crab, then slowly work the bait toward them. Stay quiet and let them come to you - patience is everything with tripletail.
