What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Gulfport, Mississippi for the first time?

Gulfport, MS is a fast-growing community, but with that laid-back Southern atmosphere that makes you feel at home the minute you arrive. The fishing opportunities are quite extensive and priced in a range that will not break the bank. The charter captains I have met are all friendly, outgoing and hold a wealth of Gulf fishing experience - - These are captains that go fishing when they have a day off from Charter fishing go fishing for fun or sometimes to hone (figure it out) yet another aspect of Gulf fishing. Give 'em a try - you won't be disappointed. Cheers!

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!

Book a trip with captain Chris with Dailey charters and have the time of your life.you ain't booked yet what are you waiting on? You won't regret it hurry up and book a trip today

We caught some white trout and baitfish. We had a storm roll through about an hour in. Cooled things off and was beautiful fishing weather!

The local Captains work together to get their charters where the fish are. If you’re fishing Gulfport, book a local charter.

Bring plenty of sunscreen and water, wide brim hats, lightweight long sleeve shirts

I have fished all along the golf of America and also on the West Coast. This is a great trip

When the fish are bitting be ready. The bite comes fast and it’s quick. Can’t even look away.

Maybe get recommendations on scheduling and duration. 4 hours and bad timing on tides maybe a problem

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.

Definitely book with the fish trap. October is the end of the season but Dustin know the area and where the fish are.

Ben was the greatest Cpt and Luke was awesome. They exceeded my expectations and we cant wait to go back with other family members.

Ask questions as the captain was great about communication about that to expect and and needs you have

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.

Expect fun , you going to experience wrestling fish it’s inevitable however not all fish you catch are keepers and thats

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

Be ready to move with the fish. Some areas will be great for a little while then turn off. We followed the fish and caught all d

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.

Book captain Ron. He and first mate Hunter are knowledgeable are professional with a down to earth attitude and approach

I recommend anyone wanting to have a good time and quality fishing experience to come fish down here during this time of year.

Go out early. Check the tide schedule also… go with an experience guide, like the one we had…tjanks

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!
