    Great time aboard the Madelyn Kaye

    3 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults

    We booked this trip because my brother-in-law really wanted to do some saltwater fishing, but he was sick and unable to go. My wife, daughter and I carried on and are so happy we did. Nathan was a great communicator in advance and called us the day ahead and convinced us to go in the morning--turned out to be a good call. Heat index was 115 later in the day, but it was fine out on the water, getting back before noon. The marina was right across the street from our hotel and after Nathan cleaned and filleted our catch, we took it to McElroy's on the pier and had a tasty lunch. We agreed it was the best, freshest fish we had ever had. Extra plus that we caught it ourselves. Nathan proved a great teacher (we were a bunch of novices) and also a good conversationalist. Impressed with him as an honest, good-hearted man pursuing a career that puts his family first. Wishing him the best!

    4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on July 15, 2026 • 3 adults

    Our party consisted from novice to experience anglers and Nathan did a great job working with all of us. He had a plan and he worked his plan flawlessly. His patience and focus on the task at hand was amazing. I have fished with guides and captains many times and Nathan is truly a gifted captain an guide. We fished from 1 to 5 in the afternoon which many times is a tough slot to fish his experience with the tides and currents kept us on fish the whole time with every angler boating fish. I know this man will always have my business when I am back in the Biloxi area.

    AMAZING TIME - BOOK THE TRIP!!!

    6 Hour Trip on October 19, 2025

    Don’t wait! Book the trip!! We had the BEST time with Nathan. He is very knowledgeable about what he does and loves doing it. You can tell that he has a heart for his job. It was our first time so we didn’t know what to expect and it was awesome from the moment we stepped on the boat until the moment we stepped off! It was a slow start due to a storm that came through but after being out there for a little while we started catching white trout like crazy and then other fish as well. My son’s girlfriend even caught a stingray… so cool!!! We cannot wait to book with Nathan and go again. All you do is show up - Nathan has EVERYTHING! Afterwards, he even cleans and bags your fish for you!! Just bring a cooler! I’m telling you… BOOK THE TRIP WITH NATHAN TODAY!! You will have the best time!!

    Going the extra mile

    4 Hour Trip on March 31, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Nathan was great! Fishing was a little slow, Captain Nathan worked hard to try and get us on fish, we had some success but Captain Nathan did not want to give up, he wanted all in the boat to have a Fish On, he literally went the extra mile to one last spot, even going past our allotted finish time to get some fish. Finally success where we boated some really nice fish and got some good pictures, got a couple to keep for dinner also. We had a great time on the water fishing and talking about fishing. It was a very enjoyable trip and Captain Nathan was great!

    Capt is Top Notch

    4 Hour Trip on September 25, 2026 • 4 adults

    Couldn't have asked for a better guide. I booked 3 boats for a bachelor party and the group that fished this charter had the most fun of the 3 by a large margin. Capt was extremely accommodating and made the trip very memorable.

    Great fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip on July 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Nathan was awesome!! He was very responsive, took great care of my 3 sons and my oldest son’s girlfriend. He helped her bait and cast while my boys were able to do it themselves. They caught lots of trout and 3 big red fish. Great experience for their first time.

    First saltwater fishing trip for Ollie!!! He caught every inland species.

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 7, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Nathan was incredibly knowledgeable about where to find the fish, and his positive attitude made the whole experience even better. My son had an absolute blast on the trip, and we’re already excited to come back and fish with him again. We highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Nathan — you won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait for our next adventure with him!

    This was me and my girlfriend's first time fishing from a boat and it was well worth the cost. Captain Ball was knowledgeable, and great company. He made the trip for us enjoyable and helped us catch lots of fish. Thanks captain! You know you'll always be invited to the cookout ; )
