What to Expect on the Water

As soon as you step aboard Captain Jerry's well-equipped vessel, you'll know you're in for a treat. With decades of experience under his belt, Jerry knows these waters like the back of his hand. You'll spend less time searching and more time fishing, targeting everything from hard-fighting Cobia to tasty Grouper. The Gulf of Mexico off Biloxi is teeming with life, and Jerry's got the know-how to put you right where the fish are biting. Plus, with all tackle, bait, and licenses included, all you need to bring is your sense of adventure (and maybe some snacks and sunscreen).

Fishing Techniques & Gear

Out here, we're not messing around with cane poles and bobbers. You'll be using top-notch offshore gear, rigged for the big boys of the Gulf. Depending on what's running, we might be trolling for Mahi-Mahi, bottom fishing for Grouper, or sight casting to Cobia. Captain Jerry and his mate will show you the ropes if you're new to these techniques. And don't worry about bringing your own stuff – we've got everything from rods and reels to the latest fish-finding tech. Just remember to bring a cooler for your catch; you might be taking home dinner!

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 offshore 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. While they're not an everyday catch, hooking into one of these beauties is an experience you'll never forget. Blue Marlin tend to show up in Gulf waters during the warmer months, usually from late spring through early fall.

Crevalle Jack: Don't let their smaller size fool you – Crevalle Jack, or "jacks" as we call 'em, are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting fish in the Gulf. These bruisers often travel in schools, so when you find them, it's game on. Jacks are around pretty much year-round, but they really fire up when the water warms up in late spring and summer.

Cobia: Also known as ling or lemonfish, Cobia are like the linebackers of the sea. They're strong, they're fast, and they're not afraid to put up a serious fight. Cobia start showing up in our waters in spring and stick around through fall. These fish love structure, so we often find them around oil rigs or buoys. And let me tell you, they make for some mighty fine eating too.

Swordfish: The gladiators of the deep, Swordfish are a rare but incredibly rewarding catch. These nighttime feeders require special tactics – we typically target them on longer trips using deep-drop techniques. Swordfish can be caught year-round in the Gulf, but summer and fall tend to be prime time. Landing one of these prehistoric-looking fish is a real notch in any angler's belt.

Gag Grouper: If you're looking to fill the cooler with some of the best-tasting fish in the Gulf, Gag Grouper should be high on your list. These bottom-dwellers are ambush predators, so we'll be dropping baits near structure where they like to hide out. Gag Grouper fishing is typically best in the cooler months, from fall through early spring. Just be ready when you hook one – these fish hit hard and immediately try to dive back into their rocky homes!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish – though let's be honest, that's a big part of it. What keeps folks coming back to Biloxi Bluewater Charters is the whole package. Captain Jerry and his crew have this dialed in. They know how to put you on fish, sure, but they also know how to show you a good time. Whether you're a local looking for a quick fishing fix or a visitor wanting to experience the best of Gulf fishing, these half-day trips hit the sweet spot.

You'll get all the excitement of offshore fishing without having to commit to a full day at sea. That means you can sleep in a bit, spend the morning reeling in some monsters, and still be back in time for happy hour at one of Biloxi's casinos. Plus, with a max of 6 guests, you're getting a more personalized experience than you would on one of those big party boats.

Time to Book Your Spot

And remember, you don't need to be a pro – the crew at Biloxi Bluewater Charters will make sure you're set up for success.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your crew, book your trip, and get ready for some real Gulf of Mexico fishing.

Trust me, after seeing how hard these guys work to put you on fish, you'll be happy to tip them. Now let's go catch some fish!
