Biloxi has a fish with your name on it, so let Heavy Metal Charters help you catch it!

These waters are known for Black Drum, Redfish, Red Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Flounder, Sheepshead, Tripletail, Jack Crevalle, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself! For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

Heavy Metal Charters is a child-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your trip begins aboard a 22’ Blazer Bay center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), snacks, and sunglasses. There will be some water on offer, but feel free to bring your own drinks.

Great First Time Coastal Fishing

6 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 2, 2025

My 16 year old son and I had a great first time fishing in coastal waters with Joey! It was laid back and he was very knowledgeable. We caught several different species, so it was a great day on the water. Trip was easy to book and we would book again.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 3, 2025

We had a great time on the water! The captain was incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The fishing was pretty good—we caught enough to keep things exciting! Most importantly, we had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the experience. Would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable day out.

Capt. Joey runs trips out of Biloxi aboard a 22’ Blazer Bay. These waters are known for many different inshore species, and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
