Will Gavin

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.

As you can see, the bigger white trout have shown up as well. There is nothing tastier then a fish fry of fresh white trout. A few photos from three quick trips.

This morning was a little rough getting to the fishing grounds but the gamble paid off. There was plenty of bait and lots of birds working. Sometimes you have to get wet to get the fish.
