I am a firefighter and run charters on my days off from the fire house. I have been fishing the waters off of the Mississippi coast since i was old enough to hold a fishing pole. I stay on the water and on the fish year round. I fish for just about anything that swims in our waters. I don't just target one or two types of fish like a lot of people. That being said, my specialty is wade fishing the islands for Speckled Trout and Redfish.

    This morning was my first-ever saltwater fishing trip, and it exceeded all my expectations! We stayed busy catching fish, and it made for an unforgettable experience. I'm so glad I booked this charter and would highly recommend Captain Marcus to anyone looking for a great day on the water. Thanks for an amazing trip!

    Captain Mcdavid was great. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Only did the 2hr trip, so didn’t have much time, but he still got us on some fish.

    The fall and early winter is my favorite time of year to fish. The fish are hungry and gorging thierselves for the winter. Redfish are the main targets but there is plenty of other great eating fish caught along with them. The best part is that all the fishing is done within a short ride from the marina. Meaning more time fishing and less time getting to the fishing grounds. Book now to get your spot!! Capt Marcus

    The fish are here and hungry, and the fishing has gotten better and better with every trip I have made lately. Our biggest challenges lately have been the wind and finding live bait. But it hasnt slowed us down. May and June are starting to fill up fast. Its time to get those trips booked while I still have dates available. Come get you some SALTWATER THERAPY!!! Capt Marcus

    Capt. McDavid was great, he is very knowledgeable on the bay system and put me and my father on limits of redfish. We would not hesitate recommending him to others. If we find ourselves back we will definitely repeat! Tight lines!
