So grab your sunscreen and let's hit the blue water!

What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're cruising out of Biloxi harbor as the sun rises, the salt air in your face and the promise of red snapper on your mind. Captain Jerry's got the coordinates dialed in for some honey holes where these tasty bottom-dwellers are stacked up. Once we hit the spot, it's all hands on deck. You'll be dropping baits, feeling that telltale thump, and cranking up snappers before you know it. The crew's there to show you the ropes, bait your hooks, and make sure everyone's in on the action. And hey, don't be surprised if a bruiser cobia crashes the party – these "man in the brown suit" are known to hang around our snapper spots and put up one heck of a fight.

Rigs and Tactics

We're talking serious bottom fishing here, folks. Captain Jerry's got the boat rigged with heavy-duty conventional reels spooled with braided line to cut through the current. You'll be using a classic bottom fishing setup – a weight to get your bait down where the snappers are hanging out, and a circle hook to make sure those fish stick when they bite. The crew will show you how to send your bait down and feel for that distinctive snapper bite. It's all about staying in touch with your line and being ready to reel when you feel that thump. And if the bite's a little slow? No worries. We might switch it up and try some live bait or even do a little drift fishing to cover more ground. Captain Jerry's always got a few tricks up his sleeve to put fish in the box.

Fish on the Menu

Red Snapper: The star of the show, these crimson beauties are what Gulf fishing dreams are made of. Known for their fierce fights and delicious white meat, red snapper typically hang out near reefs and wrecks in waters 60 to 250 feet deep. They're opportunistic feeders, which means they'll hit a variety of baits – from cut fish to live pinfish. The average size you'll catch is 5-10 pounds, but don't be shocked if you hook into a 20+ pound monster. Red snapper season is strictly regulated, but when it's open, it's game on!

Mutton Snapper: While not as common as their red cousins, mutton snapper are a prized catch in these parts. These wily fish are known for their more subtle bite and their tendency to swim off with your bait if you're not paying attention. They've got a pinkish-red color with a distinctive black spot near the tail. Muttons love structure and are often found around the same reefs as red snapper. They put up a great fight and their meat is considered by many to be even better than red snapper. When you hook a big mutton, get ready for a battle – these guys can grow up to 30 pounds!
