Dailey Charters invites you on an unforgettable fishing trip in the abundant waters surrounding Long Beach, Mississippi. Whether you’re looking for an inshore light tackle experience or an offshore battle with big fish, Captain Chris will accommodate your needs!

Hop aboard his 24’ Mako center console, powered by a 325 HP Vortec multi-port injected engine. This vessel gets you to your desired destination fast and comes fully equipped with the latest in navigational electronics including GPS and Fishfinder.

She also features a wide T-top for shade, a multimedia system for entertainment, a live well for your bait, and an icebox to keep your catch fresh. This is a child-friendly operation and parents are encouraged to bring along their little ones!

Whether it’s tasty or hard-to-catch fish you’re after, there’s something for everyone aboard Dailey Charters. Stay closer to shore and you’ll hook into the likes of Jack Crevalle, Redfish, and Trout. You can even battle it out with hard-fighting Sharks!

If you opt to head deeper it’s all about hooking in speedy Cobia and King Mackerel. You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to get your hands on delicious Red Snapper during the open season either!

The captain provides all the fishing gear you need, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait. At the end of the trip, the crew is happy to clean and fillet your catch for you. They work hard to make sure you have a good time and tips are greatly appreciated.

Experience all that Mississipi’s waters have to offer with Dailey Charters!

4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on April 24, 2025

We went catching instead of fishing. Captain Chris and Captain Dustin put us on the fish fast with nonstop action. Talk about feeling welcomed. I felt like family. I’ve been on many charters but this was by far the best experience ever. Even when I move here I am going to still set up adventures with Dynamic duo. Best captains ever. We had an amazing time with them catching and laughing. Great people.

3 hour spring special on March 25, 2025

Had a great time. Chris took us a couple of places, where we had no luck, and then to a third spot where the fish were hitting. Three of us caught a 4 lb. Speckled Trout, a good size redfish, a Sheepshead, and four Spanish mackerel, two of which were big enough to keep. Most of all, it was great talking to Chris, about fishing tips and everything else. Strongly recommend Chris for a 3 or 4 hour trip. Our 15 year old was having the time of his life, one of the highlights of spring break so far. Name withheld (date of trip: 3-25-25)

4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on September 23, 2024

We had been talking about taking a charter trip since I moved here 4 years ago. Finally did it and it was the best fishing ever ! Captain Chris and Deck hand Dustin were Awesome …. Treated us like Family … kept our lines baited and helped us land Lots of Big Redfish and a Shark ! I will definitely use these guys again in the future and Highly recommended them to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing trip. Dustin cleaned all the fish and even bagged them up for us ! Price was very reasonable and you will gladly tip the deckhand for all he does to make your trip perfect not only cleaning the fish. Thank you Captain Chris and Dustin … we will see you again !

4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on June 23, 2024

Captain Chris and his crew are top notch! It was more than a fishing trip. It was an experience. From the time we left the dock to the time we returned it was awesome. Being that this was my first deep sea fishing trip he educated me on the do's and don'ts and what to expect while on the water. Things were slow and the fish weren't biting but he was determined to get me a fish. And he did just that. He didn't give up until he got me a fish. I ended up with 3...lol! He's funny, personable, and very laid back and chill. I plan to go back in September.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on March 6, 2025

This was my/our first Mississippi trip. My son and I were pleasantly surprised on the trip. First of all, the captain was not only top notch h in his skills, he kept in touch and planned the correct day for fishing , as well. Despite the winds this week and colder weather we caught rather large black drum and sheep head. Great fun and wonderful team. Highly recommended! Kent
