    4 – 5 Hour Trip on July 15, 2026 • 1 adult

    I have been on a few trips From Mexico to Belize and none have been as great as this one. First off we caught a bunch of fish so much tha I actually gave some away. But what really made it exceptional was the Captain. I am an old guy with mobility issues but he helped me out with that with out making a big deal about. Everyone knows how meeting someone new can be awkward but 10 minutes into the trip it was like we were old buddies. That for me was was so great. It didn't feel like a charter it felt like two buddies out fishing. If you are planning a trip grab the chance to go out with him. Thanks for a truley amazing experience.

    Captain Brennan for the Win!!

    4 – 5 Hour Trip on March 29, 2024 • 3 adults

    If the dates you need are available, book it! There are many options for charters and we’ve been on a few. I’ll tell you in all honesty, this is the charter you want!!! From the beginning Capt. Brennan was personable, communicated quickly and answer all questions we had. The boat was ready to hit the water as soon as we pulled up to the dock. Brennan instantly was explaining where we were heading, weather conditions, and got our lines in the water quickly! Instantly started reeling in sheepshead after sheepshead. My son and I caught 20 monster sheepshead! A few white trout, as well as flounder were brought in after we moved to a different location. The fishing was great, the boat was great, Capt. Brennan was great company as well. It was like fishing with a friend and we can’t wait to hit the water with Rough Water Charters again!

    Awesome Charter

    4 – 5 Hour Trip on February 24, 2024 • 5 adults

    If you are in the Biloxi, Gulfport, Pass, Bay St Louis, Waveland area and want to catch some fish, enjoy the open water, have a good time and relax this is the Capt you want. Capt Brennan knew what he was doing. Got us to where the fish were biting and kept our lines in the water. Live bait was a plus. He was very friendly, quick to respond and easy to communicate with. No need to worry about getting a fishing license for your charter. He’s got you covered. His boat was pretty sweet too! Plenty of room for all five of us. We were able to bring snacks and beverages. We caught a bunch of different fish (sheeps head, flounder, red fish and trout) and got to keep our catch. Even better, Capt Brennan cleaned all of them! He definitely went above and beyond our expectations. There is a restaurant and bar at the docks you can stop in afterwards to get lunch or just get a drink. There is plenty of free parking at the harbor as well. Would definitely go again and recommend you check him out if your in the area. Happy fishing!

    Great time!

    4 – 5 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on March 14, 2025 • 3 adults

    Decided to take my adult children fishing with me, booked an afternoon time with Capt. Brennan. Had an awesome time! He is very personable, and we caught everything from large black drum to sheepshead, and a couple small redfish we threw back!! If you want a stellar inshore trip with a great guide, highly recommended.

    Limited out on nice Speckled Trout and returned to dock by 9:30

    6 Hour Trip on July 15, 2024 • 2 adults

    The location of this charter was key to finding and catching our limit of trout. We have chartered in other locations in Mississippi; however, fishing out of Pass Christian is a game changer. Its proximity to the Louisiana marsh allows for more time fishing, rather than boat riding. Brennan is an excellent captain with tons of experience, and our trip was very successful. We plan to do it again soon.

    Great day on the water with my children catching Speckled Trout.

    4 Hour Night Time Floundering Trip on June 4, 2024 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Had a great day fishing Pass Christian for Speckled Trout. Captain put us on epic fishing spot. He was patient with my 11 and 12 year old kids and taught them some fishing skills. Captain was honest and let us reschedule our trip to another day due to some storms coming in. I've fished many charters in the region and would highly recommend him if your in the Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian or surrounding areas.

    Great day on the water.

    6 Hour Trip on September 14, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    A friend and I took our sons fishing. Brennan was a very knowledgeable captain and fun guy to be around. He was very attentive to keep us fishing and patient with the kids. We were on an inshore trip to the LA marsh. Brennan also operates offshore boats so really a one stop for all your trips. We will fish with Brennan again.
