Reel in Gulf Action: 4-8 Hour Biloxi Trolling

Looking to get your line wet in the productive waters off Biloxi? Captain Jerry McClure's got you covered with his laid-back yet fish-filled trolling trips. Whether you're after a quick 4-hour run or want to make a full day of it with 8 hours on the water, Biloxi Bluewater Charters delivers the goods. We're talking mahi-mahi, cobia, grouper, and a whole lot more swimming in these parts. Don't sweat it if you're new to offshore fishing – Captain Jerry's seen it all in his decades on these waters and knows how to put folks on fish, no matter your skill level.

What to Expect on the Water

Once we shove off from the Biloxi harbor, you'll settle in for a smooth ride out to the fishing grounds. Captain Jerry's got a knack for reading the water and finding where the fish are biting. We'll set up our trolling spread – that's multiple lines out behind the boat with lures that mimic baitfish. It's a great technique for covering water and enticing those bigger pelagic species to strike. You might be reeling in your first fish before you know it! The Gulf's usually pretty forgiving, so even if you're worried about seasickness, our steady trolling pace keeps things comfortable. We've got all the gear and licenses sorted, so just bring some snacks, sunscreen, and a good attitude. Oh, and don't forget to factor in that 20% mate's tip at the end of the day – these guys work hard to make sure you have a great time and get on fish.

Trolling 101: Gulf Style

If you're new to trolling, you're in for a treat. We'll be using a mix of artificial lures and sometimes live bait to attract the big boys. The crew will set out a spread of lines – anywhere from 4 to 8 depending on conditions – each with different lures running at various depths. It's like painting the water with an irresistible buffet for the fish. When a fish hits, you'll hear that sweet sound of the reel screaming. That's when the real fun begins! We'll clear the other lines and get you set up on the fighting chair if needed. Don't worry if you're not sure what to do – Captain Jerry and the mate will coach you through the whole process. It's all about steady pressure and working the fish to the boat. Before you know it, you'll be posing for photos with your catch!

What Anglers Are Saying

"Had a great time out there! Tommy and Mr Jerry are very helpful and patient. Hoping to experience another trip one day." - Jack

"Great snapper trip. Captain Jerry put us in the right spots for red snapper, and we also caught cobia and king mackerel. His deckhand, Tommy, was entertaining while also being helpful to everyone in our group. We will fish again one day and will book a trip with these guys without hesitation. We couldn't ask for better day out in the Gulf." - Bulldog

"Totally freaking awesome, from the captain and first mate!! Top notch!! Definitely booking again!!" - James

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 top 1,000 pounds and put up a fight that'll test even the most seasoned angler. We typically target them in the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. When a blue marlin hits, hold on tight – you're in for the battle of a lifetime!

Crevalle Jack: Don't let their reputation as a "trash fish" fool you – crevalle jacks are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting fish in the Gulf. These bruisers can hit 50 pounds and will make your arms burn. They're around most of the year but really heat up in the summer. Jacks are great for anglers who want non-stop action and don't mind releasing their catch.

Cobia: Also known as ling or lemonfish, cobia are prized for both their fight and their excellent table fare. These curious fish often swim right up to the boat, giving you a shot at sight-casting to them. They start showing up in the spring and stick around through fall. A 50-pounder will give you a run for your money, and they're delicious on the grill.

Swordfish: The gladiators of the deep, swordfish are a bucket list catch for many anglers. We typically target them on overnight trips, as they feed best in the dark. Swordfish can grow to massive sizes – the Gulf record is over 1,000 pounds! Even an average-sized sword in the 100-200 pound range will test your endurance. They're available year-round, but summer and fall tend to be prime time.

Gag Grouper: If you're looking to fill the cooler with some of the best-eating fish in the Gulf, gag grouper should be high on your list. These bottom-dwellers love structure and put up a stubborn fight. We drop heavy tackle down to reefs and wrecks to entice them. The bigger ones can top 50 pounds! Gags are open for harvest in federal waters year-round, but always check current regulations.
