    Best Charter Experience. Period.

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    I don’t write reviews like this often, but Capt. Andrew deserves every bit of praise I can give him. Was the weather ideal? Nope. Was the water ideal? Not even close. It was so choppy we couldn’t even make it out of the inland waters. Did that stop Capt. Andrew from putting us on fish? Absolutely not. We still filled an ice chest, landed TWO 40-inch black drum, and caught more fish than we ever have on a charter. This guy found fish and a good time everywhere he went! But here’s what really sets him apart. I brought my wife and our two 9-year-old daughters, and I have never experienced a guide who balanced fishing and family fun so perfectly. My girls laughed and joked with him the entire trip, and somehow he managed to keep us all entertained while constantly putting us on fish. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much joy on my wife’s face. We’ve been on charters before, and I can confidently say this wasn’t just our most successful trip or the most family-friendly guide we’ve had. This was, hands down, the best charter experience we’ve ever had. Capt. Andrew is the kind of guide you almost want to keep a secret, but he’s too good not to share. We’re already planning our next trip with him. 10/10. Would recommend to absolutely anyone, especially families looking to make some incredible memories on the water!

    One of the Best Guided Trips We’ve Done!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    We had a great experience with fishing with Captain Andrew with Blackdot Charters! We really appreciated his positive attitude. He was friendly, patient, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great time. Most importantly, he knew where to find the fish and got us in on them! He also took the time to ask whether we wanted to keep our fish, helped make sure we got some great photos, and made the whole experience feel personal and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and fun fishing guide!

    Anniversary Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    We booked this charter for our one-year anniversary, and everything was great from start to finish! The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had an amazing experience on the water. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and we had a great time fishing. He worked hard to put us on fish, and we made some wonderful memories celebrating our anniversary. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and would definitely book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing charter experience! 🎣❤️

    Best fishing charter we have EVER been on!

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    I cannot even describe how amazing and delightful Captain Andrew was! He was fun, chipper, knowledgeable, and super attentive to everyones needs. He baited our hooks each time, let us take pictures after each catch, taught us the best tricks and tips for fishing in the biloxi area, kept his boat neat and clean, gave a safety briefing before going out, was ethical as one can be with the fish while fishing, and was just an overall joy to be around. I can safely say that other charter captains in the area do not do those things, as we experienced with another charter the day before. The weather put us at a disadvantage, but he was able to put us on the fish regardless and gave us awesome memories! He filleted our catch, bagged them for us, and even bagged us some ice due to us forgetting ours! He was determined for his customers to have the best experience by getting to the bait shop early to get live bait before selling out. We did the 6 hr trip and he was even more than willing to let us make pit stops to use the restroom along the way. We mentioned that we had previously bought a boat in the area, and that we were doing the charter to expand our experience with fishing in this area. Let me tell you… my jaw dropped whenever he said that we had a phone-a-friend incase we ever broke down or needed help in some way with our boat! Just an amazing captain with a wealth of knowledge! We were able to catch red drum, black drum, catchfish, croaker, and a stingray!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Andrew is an outstanding captain. He knew the water well, put us on fish, and kept everyone engaged from start to finish. We had a great time, caught plenty and we’re already talking about our next trip. Highly recommend booking with Blackdot Charters.

    Great trip! Captain Andrew was great and kept us on fish. Caught many species but the highlight was catching 8 fish between 25-40 lbs! Lost a few more that we had a great fight with until they broke off. Outstanding day!

    This guy here really knows what he is doing. He got my father and I on five huge fish. Amazing thrill. Would definitely recommend, and do it again. He filleted and cleaned our fish as well. We have BAGS of meat.

    We all caught fish. My husband caught a couple of his bucket list fish and was thrilled. The captain worked to make sure that we were on the fish and had what we needed. He baits your hook and sets you up in the perfect spots. Made sure we had great pictures and a great time. I would fish with him again anytime.

    we started off slow but andrew was dedicated on finding fish. We eventually got in constant bites and even pulled out two giant catfish back to back.

What's biting with Blackdot Charters in Biloxi

When the temperature drops, Black Drum gang up and Sheepshead also rise in numbers. Find inshore structure and get ready for excellent action on light tackle. Don't be surprised if you encounter bull Reds!

Best big fish fishing of the year is rig

Sep 22, 2025 • Biloxi
The big bull redfish and Jack cravelle are inching closer to shore every day. We’ve been seeing schools almost every day of up to 100 to 200 fish. It has been a real workout, but an amazing experience. If a jack or a big bull red fish are on your bucket list now is the time!

Redfish run has begun!

Sep 4, 2025 • Biloxi
Every fall, we see an influx of large baits called pogies. Shortly after they arrive, the large bullred fish, and Jack Gravelle start to show up in numbers. We have been seeing larger and larger schools of these fish lately. Throughout the months of September and October, and early November we have a great shot at seeing large schools of these hard fighting fish. Its a great time to fish Biloxi!
