Went fishing with Captain Leo's Fish'n Charters on August 13, 2025
The fishing guide didn’t show up and didn’t tell us he wasn’t coming. Said he sent an email but he is a liar. This Captain lacks integrity and is a pitiful liar. Avoid this guy at all costs. Better not to go fishing than to book with a liar that Lacks integrity. Mark Captain Leo off your list and try anyone else.

Can’t go wrong with choosing the skipper. Capt. Frank and the rest of the charter boat captains help each other get on the fish. It’s a type of camaraderie I have not seen on the water between guide services.

If you’re even slightly curious about trying a fishing charter, go for it — you don’t need experience, just a sense of adventure. With the right captain, it’s more than fishing — it’s a full-on experience you’ll be talking about for a long time!

Look up video’s for a reference about how to fish. Snapper or any other fish. Then ask the crew for advice. They will be glad to help, I am sure. Your success on on a fishing expedition is determined by how prepared you are. The captain and crew will do their part. Your part follows. Bring drinks, finger foods. Snacks, proper attire and sunscreen. The heat of the summer will test anybody. Need to hydrate profusely.

Hook up with Backyard Charters. CCptain Conner is honest and will not mislead you. If the bit is good or bad, he will be straight up. We got bit most all day, never a dull moment. Already planning another trip for some time in the fall.

Not sure because I’m not a fisherman per se just someone willing to spend the money to have a nice day out on the water, but it doesn’t seem like August is a great time for fishing in this area. We’re very lucky to have such a wonderful captain.

Captain Andrew is a great guide! Friendly and patient willing to teach or Let your own thing. He moves around to put you on the fish. He has a ton of experience and shares his knowledge along the way. I highly recommend this charter.

Be well prepared with Sun protection. Sun shirts, hats, sunglasses were all nice to have for our trip. If you think you might get seasick, and maybe even if you don’t, take Dramamine the night before.

Went fishing with Shearwater Charters on October 18, 2021
Due to the high winds, we wasn't able to go Snapper fishing but Captain Brandon and Brandon made sure we caught fish. Highly recommend Shearwater. This was our 5th trip and we are planning a 6th trip with Captain Brandon and the Shearwater...

Offshore in a boat this small is not for a newbie. We had two newbie friends with us and they are proud of the bragging rights they earned. Definitely a trip for fishermen who will brave rough conditions to get the best memories and fish. If ins one. You will have many tales to tell. PS- one of our newbies caught the biggest Red Snapper

Can sometimes be a tough bite but you will never go skunked and should have a couple of good dinners if you are keeping to eat.

Apparently the ocean is warm in August and it causes the fish to go out to sea farther. Next time I would probably want spring

We did an 8 hour tour and thankful we went with an extra car of water instead of beer. It was hot!!! Even with the heat we would definitely go out again because the action was great

A little hot this time of year. Next time I'll come a little later in the year. Was still fun and would do it again.

Make sure you have a charter with sufficient and / or a variety of bait and one that knows in shore/near shore areas well in case of changing weather. Smaller boats catch fish too!

Early morning trips before the heat sets in. The captain even moved the trip up and hour so it's more bearable

Bring sunscreen and a great attitude. The fishing can be hard in August, but worthwhile.

Absolutely the captain and his mate were awesome and the boat was excellent. My girlfriend was able to take a nap in the cabin with the air conditioning going. Everybody was happy.

Pick a good guide and unless your going after a specific species let them help you figure out what to go after!

Be patient, when we finally hit the fish (Mackerel) we were pulling them in the boat as fast as we could get our lines in the water.

Don't book more than a 4 hour trip unless you've been on a boat before. May might be best weather wise and the water should be warmer with a faster bite.

It can be cold in February even on the Ms Gulf Coast bring appropriate fishing clothing and you will be fine. My target was sheepshead and the Capt put me on them.

As long as the captain and crew are decent folks to help new comers with knowledge sharing their experience like we had, I can’t imagine even having a rough time at all. It was a blast!

There are probably better times of the year to fish in Biloxi than the day after Christmas, but we had an awesome time.

You might need long pants and light jacket early in October but it warmed up and was beautiful later in the day. Be mindful of weather and dress accordingly.
