Expert-Guided Marlin Fishing in Biloxi | Offshore

Biloxi's Ultimate Offshore Fishing Adventure

Get ready to hit the big blue with Captain Jerry McClure on this full-day offshore fishing trip out of Biloxi. We're talking 8 solid hours of chasing some of the Gulf's most prized catches. Whether you're dreaming of battling a Blue Marlin or hoping to hook into a hefty Grouper, this trip's got you covered. Captain Jerry's been at this game for decades, so you're in for a day packed with action, laughs, and hopefully a cooler full of fish to show for it.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll push off from the Biloxi marina bright and early, aiming to get you on the fish while they're biting. This ain't no quick in-and-out trip - we're going the distance to find the hot spots where the big boys play. You'll have plenty of time to try different techniques and target various species throughout the day. Captain Jerry's got all the gear and know-how you need, so whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, you'll be in good hands. Just remember to bring your A-game and maybe a snack or two - it's gonna be a full day of non-stop fishing action.

Trolling Tactics & Offshore Tricks

On this trip, we'll be focusing on trolling - that's where we drag baited lines behind the boat as we cruise. It's a killer method for hooking into pelagic predators like Marlin and Mahi-Mahi. We might also do some bottom fishing if the bite is on, dropping lines deep for tasty Grouper. Captain Jerry's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, so be ready to learn some new techniques. He'll show you how to work the rods, set the drag just right, and play those big fish like a pro. And don't worry about bringing any gear - we've got top-notch equipment that's up to the task of handling whatever the Gulf throws our way.

Top Catches This Season

Offshore fishing in Biloxi is always an adventure, and each trip brings its own surprises. Lately, we've been seeing some monster Cobia hanging around the oil rigs, and the Mahi-Mahi bite has been on fire. One group last week landed a 50-pound Wahoo that gave them the fight of their lives. Another crew managed to boat a rare Swordfish - that's the kind of trophy that keeps anglers coming back year after year. Of course, there's always the chance of hooking into the fish of a lifetime - a Blue Marlin. These beasts can top 500 pounds and will test everything you've got as an angler.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Blue Marlin: The crown jewel of Gulf fishing, Blue Marlin are the stuff of legends. These massive billfish can grow over 1,000 pounds, though most we encounter are in the 200-400 pound range. They're known for their incredible aerial displays, leaping and tail-walking across the surface when hooked. Blue Marlin are typically found in deeper, offshore waters and are most active in the warmer months from late spring through early fall. Landing one of these beauties is a bucket-list achievement for any angler.

Crevalle Jack: Don't let their size fool you - Crevalle Jacks are pound-for-pound one of the hardest fighting fish in the Gulf. These bruisers typically range from 10 to 30 pounds and are often found in schools near structures like oil rigs. They're aggressive feeders and will hit just about anything that moves, making them a blast to catch on both bait and lures. Jacks are available year-round but are most active in the warmer months. While not known for their table fare, they're a favorite among anglers for their sheer fighting power.

Cobia: Also known as Ling or Lemonfish, Cobia are a prized catch in the Gulf. These curious fish often follow the boat, giving anglers a chance to sight-cast to them. They typically range from 20 to 50 pounds but can grow much larger. Cobia have a reputation for being hard fighters, making long runs and using their broad tails to dive deep. They start showing up in the spring and stick around through fall. As a bonus, they're excellent eating fish, with firm, white meat that's great on the grill.

Swordfish: The gladiators of the deep, Swordfish are a rare but exciting catch on our trips. These elusive billfish typically live in very deep water and are often targeted at night. They can grow massive, with some specimens topping 1,000 pounds. Swordfish are known for their incredible strength and endurance - battles can last several hours. While they're available year-round, we have the best luck targeting them in the fall and winter months. Landing a Swordfish is a true accomplishment and something you'll be talking about for years to come.

Gag Grouper: If you're looking for a tasty dinner, Gag Grouper should be high on your list. These bottom-dwellers are typically found around reefs and wrecks, and can grow up to 50 pounds or more. They're known for their powerful first run - once hooked, they'll try to dive back into their rocky lairs. Gag Grouper fishing is best in the cooler months, from fall through early spring. They're highly prized for their flaky, white meat that's perfect for a variety of recipes.
