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.

All the rain has made the water pretty dirty lately. It seams like the rain pushed alot of bait out into the bays and bigger bayous. The flounder bite has been really good and the redfish are on fire in the back bayous. We have been catching alot of the smaller reds with keepers mixed in the groups. The back bay 4 hour trip has seamed to be the best one right now. Tight lines
