Member since October 2023 Pass Christian, United States
Background
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
Techniques
I like to use the lightest tackle possible and still catch the desired species. Live bait is always my go to and the most efficient at catching dinner. We may also catch our on bait some days.

Well we ran to Cat Island first thing and there were just too many boats for a bite. We ran back to a spot in close and found some nice trout and a couple nice slot redfish. The fishing is heating up but so are the temperatures. Book an early trip and beat the heat of summer.

Jun 13, 2026 Pass Christian
The redfish bite is pretty hot in the bay and surrounding bayous. We had our one person limit with the forst three live shrimp our custumer tossed out. Several smaller ones released to swim and fight another day. The two hour trip is a good trip to see if you enjoy saltwater fishing. And as you can see it can be very fruitful.
