Background
We have been alternating fishing between MS Gulf Coast and TN River-Pickwick Lake for over 30 years. We decided a few yrs ago to start taking the public fishing because we really enjoy others being able to have the same experiences!
Techniques
We do mostly live bait fishing, with some artificial baits thrown in us depending on the customers desire and skill level.

Finally got the right wind so we could get out to the reefs in my boat today and was NOT dissapointed! Tons of small fish at the mouth of the bay and a mess of keepers on the reef. Most fish caught freelining shrimp on the edges of the reef, a few on popping cork close to the rocks.

We moved our afterwork Special to the morning and made a great decision! After throwing back over a dozen trout inshore, we moved to an offshore reef and almost immediately got into some big BIG trout! We ended the trip when we ran out of bait and left the trout biting!

Out foray to Cat Island didnt work too well, our spots there were either covered by boats or too windy. We saved the day at the last hour by hitting the Gulfport harbor rocks and catching enough for a good mess!!

Craig was down from Michigan on vacation and wanted to catch something he had never caught, so flounder was on the top of the list, along with puppy drum and sheepshead. As usual, fresh live shrimp under a 4 Horsemen popping cork around structure filled the bill! Unfortunately a large i flux of fresh water into the bay completely shut down the HOT speckled trout bite we have on the last 2 weeks, so we didnt get his Inshore Slam. Per true Lazee Daze fashion we kept the boat in the water until every last piece of bait was gone! We threw back bunches of short redfish and sheepshead and kept just enough keepers for him to have a good meal.

Mom and Dad wanted to let the little one catch some fish and bring enough home to eat and Capt Dave made it happen! He tutored and helped the young angler learn to fish while the parents did their thang.. fresh live shrimp under 4 Horsemen popping corks did the trick. Released 31 smaller trout and at least a dozen rat reds with a few small sheepshead thrown in just for good measure.

Wrong time of the year. Weather questionable. And we still caught fish.
