Biloxi Bay - Harrison, MS Inshore Report on 6th Aug, 2026 - 1

Put a lil beat down on the 20”plus trouts this morning. I like to practice filet and release of those big girls. It doesn’t take near as many fish to feel a gallon bag when you catching toads!

Some of the biggest trout of the year are being caught right now. Beat the summer heat and get after these big girls while the bite is hot this month! fishing report coverpicture

Started out slow but picked up at the last stop. We caught a lot of throwbacks but kept plenty for a fish fry. There were lots of fish and laughs on this trip. A couple of pretty nice speckled trout were mixed in the box, and we even saw my buddy, Mr. Eagle, this morning.

I took a little excursion on Friday. I caught bait and used little fish to catch bigger fish. Fresh live bait has been scarce. The spring bite has begun and will only get better every week. Give me a call and let's get on the water to explore what Mississippi and southeast Louisiana marshes have to offer.

Biloxi Bay - Harrison, MS Inshore Report on 9th Apr, 2026 - 3

A few trips from last May. My weekends are almost full for May, but I have a few Sundays open. Summer is just around the corner, and the temperatures and fishing will be hot again this year. So far, we have dodged any major rain storms, so the water is good and salty, all the way into the back bays, bayous, and tributaries. I am also offering trips to Louisiana waters this year, which will open up a lot more area to explore and get away from the crowds of summer if you are more of a solitary angler. Give me a shout, and let's get some time on the water with you and your loved ones. I have a trip to accommodate most any willing adventure-seeking person, whether you want to try to fill the cooler or just get away and enjoy nature and time away from it all. Little, tall, big or small. I can teach you how to catch em all.

Relentless Redfish Reign: Inshore Fishing Excitement in Mississippi

What a great day we had on the water with Chad and the crew! It was a perfect March morning in Mississippi to get out there and do some inshore fishing. The weather was clear, the water was in great shape, and we were ready to target some tasty Red Drum, also known as Redfish. As soon as we got the lines in the water, the action picked up. We were working some light tackle, and it wasn't long before the rods started bending. The Redfish were really fired up and hitting our baits hard. It took some skilled maneuvering, but we managed to land some beautiful fish. These inshore fighters really put up a great battle, testing our angling abilities, but we were up for the challenge. Between reeling in fish, we had a lot of laughs and shared stories. It's always a good time when you get a group of anglers together, especially when the fish are cooperating. That's what makes these trips so special - it's not just about the catches, but the whole overall experience of being out on the water, enjoying the day. And today, we definitely made the most of it. If you're looking to experience some fantastic inshore fishing in Mississippi, I can't recommend Sawdust and Fishguts Charters enough. Their 4-hour Fishing Charters In Mississippi | 4 Hour Charter Trip is the perfect way to get in on the action, whether you're a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing.

Holding my wife’s #redfish. It was a windy Friday but we had fun, caught dinner and tagged a lot of redfish and released them all but one.
