Join Fish Assassin Inshore Charters for an action-packed day of fishing on the gorgeous Mississippi Gulf Coast! The area has to offer some of the best year-round fishing in the Gulf of America. Captain Brian Ware has been fishing this area since he was a young child, so there aren’t many honey holes he hasn’t found, and he’ll take you to all the best spots.

You'll be fishing aboard the “Fish Assassin,” a 25ft Blazer Bay center console boat. The boat runs on a 250 HP Yamaha 4-stroke engine, and it’s the perfect vessel for inshore and offshore trips! The bow of the boat is equipped with an I-pilot trolling motor for shallow waters. The boat also has high sides which keeps you dry no matter the conditions! The Fish Assassin has all the gear to stay on course and to have a trip to remember!

It features a Lowrance Live Scope GPS, which includes a depth finder, side imaging, Radar
and sonar, as well as a stereo system and VHF Radio. The bow of the boat is equipped with an I-pilot trolling motor for shallow waters. You’ll be able to easily sneak up on those fearful specimens without spooking them!

The waters off the coast of Mississippi are brimming with wildlife, and you’ll find that there's plenty of species to target in the area. You'll have the opportunity to catch creatures like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Snapper, Mackerel, Tripletail, and Jack Crevalle.

Capt. Brian will provide you with all the fishing gear you may need on this fishing excursion. He’ll be more than happy to clean and fillet your catch so you can taste the fruits of your labor upon return. Remember to pack a cooler to carry your catch home with you. The captain encourages you to bring all the snacks and drinks of your liking, and he'll provide ice and the cooler.

Book a trip with Fish Assassin Saltwater Charters! It'll be the first of many great adventures together!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore(AM) 1-4people on June 8, 2024

Captain ware was extremely knowledgeable and we caught 2 short of our limit in specks, and a beautiful flounder. Brian was wonderful on this trip, his second mate didn't show but he was captain and second mate to my son and myself. We lacked for nothing he baited and handled the net all morning. He knew just where to go to catch specks. Which was exactly what I told him we wanted to catch.

4-5hr Trip–Offshore/ Island(PM)1-4P on September 2, 2024

Everyone caught something. The weather was perfect for the day, and Captain Ware showed us an excellent time out on the water. Didn’t know what to expect from the water off Gulfport, but we are thinking about booking earlier next year for trout season. I will definitely use his services again, if we are down on the Mississippi coast.

We were his first trip after some rough weather the last few days. Captain Brian did a great job finding us locations that were biting. I loved how if we hadn’t gotten a bite in a few minutes he moved. He wanted to catch them as much as we did! Thank you for the great time!!

I’m not going to lie! I was a little concerned about how fishing would be this morning. With all the weather conditions we have been dealt with and not being on the water in almost a week! But we found them and got it done! Thanks for booking and the great review! I’m looking forward to seeing you all again next time! Thanks, Captain Brian
