If you are taking children, Captain Ben is your guy. Captain was the grandfatherly type and was great with the boys. They could relate to him. So patient and upbeat. And he taught them so much. They can’t wait to go back with him and his mate, Hudson. The caught fish!!!

Amazing experience with Captain Chris and his deckhand (can’t remember his name) the weather can be unpredictable. Cool one minute and hot the next. Just pack a sweater or light jacket to be able to take off.

Invest a little extra time in researching the prospective providers. Read the reviews. Make a selection. Be sure to verbally convey to your Captian and 1st mate regarding your level of experience with fishing. They are there to assist you in an enjoyable excursion.

Book your trip for early in the morning. We booked a full day trip, but it was shortened to a half day due to extreme heat warning. We are thankful to have had a captain that kept safety in mind first, and still got us out to get an amazing fishing trip in!

October is a great season to fish. Once it gets cold around 50°-60° the bite will slow down a lot.

Remember it is fishing! And you never know what to expect. But hopefully you will have a Captain like Brian Ware nuff said.

Gulfport is a decent place to fish. You just need an experienced captain. I suggest Salinity Matters. A captain with over twenty years of experience fishing in the gulf.

The bite is definitely hotter in the morning, but with the right captain, you can catch 'em all day long.

Yes, but if you’re not from the Ms area and decide to go in the summer then prepare yourself for the heat. It’s no joke

If it’s your first time target a multiple activity charter that can change and try to put you on a variety of species so you hopefully do not have an uneventful day.

Get a good captain with good reviews. Knowledge and professionalism matter. Even if you don’t catch as much as you want, a good ship and crew make or break your trip.

Pick the right size boat for your party and what you want to catch. Salinity was the right size for 2 ppl and we were able to fish close to structures.

It was a little chilly and windy but Captain Sonny was an expert in keeping us out of the majority of the wind so that we were able to catch fish! We had so much fun!

We were first time anglers and they taught us what to expect. The fishing will be much better in May as the water warms up!

Book early, and remember morning fishing is more productive in mid to late June, due to the hot afternoons

Find a good experienced captain who can recommend the type trip you can catch fish on based on conditions and what they are catching at the time you want to go.

We caught stuff and it was fun, but nothing we could keep so don’t go in with high hopes or rude attitudes

The bite was great, but the fish were all pretty small. It was a great time catching the fish, we just didn't get to keep many.

As with any time of the year, great fishing on the Coast depends a lot on the weather conditions. Some months better than others but there are always plenty of fish to catch.

Completely depends on your expectations. Weather can play a part of what you can expect to catch.
