When I wasn't driving nails growing up in north Mississippi I was spending time in on the gulf coast fishing and eating local seafood. I finally drove enough nails to move down 7 years ago to make charter fishing a reality

    Awesome Trip!!!

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM) • 2 adults

    What an awesome 4 hours of fishing! Captain Will was great! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. If the bite slowed down he would find the fish and make sure we were catching fish. I caught a 25 pound bull redfish, biggest ive ever caught. Captain Will was great as i was fighting the fish for nearly 20 minutes and did a wonderful job getting it in the boat. I would highly recommend a trip with him. Just a great down to earth guy with plenty of knowledge. Definitely will be fishing with him again. James/ Bowling Green Ky

    First Gulf Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM) • 2 adults

    My daughter and I had a great experience. Watching the sunrise from a boat while traveling out to Cat Island was so surreal. Will was very helpful and patient. We caught trout and redfish. He gave us recommendations about how to cook the fish that we brought home. It rained in the distance and a complete rainbow lit up the horizon for the ride home. great trip!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout
    Response from Captain

    Will was great! He made our time on the water enjoyable and fun. He was good about if the fish stoped biting getting us to a new location or trying a different setup to catch fish. It felt like you were out there with a neighbor and hey we caught fish!
