Raves from the Dock
"We booked an inshore through fishingbooker.com , ending up Pier Pressure Charters. I've used fishingbooker.com from AK to Fl, now today in MS. The captains, Captain Dave putting it all together and Captain Kyle doing the actual trip was awesome. 1st the boat and equipment is in excellent condition. 2nd He was so accommodating and thoughtful. 3rd. He put us on some very nice sheepshead and told us where to take them to a local restaurant here in Biloxi MS for our personal catch, seafood dinner with our catch. Can get any better than this. I highly recommend both fishingbooker as well as Pier Pressure Charter. Thanks for a great day of fishing. Glenn Herring of OK." - Glenn
"On the fish so well... we ran out of fiddler crabs... stayed in the fish so well ran out of live shrimp... fished with beef jerky and artificial and caught fish until we had to go home. Right places, right time, right captain." - Kim
Fish on the Radar
Let's talk about the stars of the show – the fish you'll be chasing on this trip. Each species brings its own challenge and excitement to the table.
Redfish: These copper-colored beauties are a favorite among inshore anglers. Known for their powerful runs and delicious meat, redfish can be found year-round in Ocean Springs. They love to hang around structure like oyster beds and grass flats. When you hook into a big one, hold on tight – they don't give up easily!
Speckled Trout: Also called spotted seatrout, these fish are a blast to catch on light tackle. They're known for their speckled pattern and their tendency to strike aggressively at lures. Spring and fall are prime times for specks, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Our guides sure do!
Tripletail: These odd-looking fish are a real treat to catch. They get their name from their unique shape, which makes them look like they have three tails. Tripletail love to hang around floating objects, so we'll keep our eyes peeled for buoys and debris where they might be lurking. They put up a great fight and are excellent eating too.
Flounder: These flat fish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom. But our guides know just how to spot them. Flounder fishing requires a bit of finesse, but when you get it right, it's incredibly satisfying. Plus, they're some of the best-tasting fish in the sea!
Sheepshead: Don't let their goofy grin fool you – sheepshead are tough fighters and notoriously tricky to hook. They love to hang around pilings and other structures, using their human-like teeth to crush crabs and barnacles. Catching these "convict fish" (named for their black and white stripes) is always a fun challenge.

Bait Gone Fish On
On the fish so well... we ran out of fiddler crabs... stayed in the fish so well ran out of live shrimp... fished with beef jerky and artificial and caught fish until we had to go home. Right places, right time, right captain.

Redfish
Redfish, or red drum, are the rockstars of inshore fishing. These bronze beauties typically run 20-30 inches but can grow much larger. You'll find them in shallow waters, often tailing in grass flats or prowling along oyster bars. They love water depths of 1-4 feet, so sight fishing is a real thrill. Fall is prime time for big bulls, but you can catch reds year-round. Anglers can't get enough of their powerful runs and their distinctive tail spot. When fishing for reds, look for "nervous water" or tailing fish in shallow areas. Here's a local tip: on hot days, try fishing early morning or late evening when reds are most active. Use gold spoons, soft plastics, or live bait like mullet or shrimp. Remember, these fish have excellent eyesight, so stealth is key. Whether you're battling a slot-sized red or a big bull, these fish will test your skills and leave you wanting more.
Sea Trout
Sea Trout, also known as Speckled Trout, are a favorite among inshore anglers. These silvery fish typically run 14-24 inches and put up a great fight on light tackle. You'll find them in coastal waters, often hanging around grass flats, oyster reefs, and channel edges. They're most active in cooler months, with fall and winter being prime seasons. Sea trout are ambush predators, so look for them near structure or depth changes. Anglers love targeting them for their aggressive strikes and delicate, flaky meat. When fishing for sea trout, try using soft plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork. Here's a local tip: focus on moving water during tide changes, especially around points or creek mouths. These fish have soft mouths, so set the hook with a quick, upward snap rather than a hard jerk. Whether you're after a trophy gator trout or just looking for some steady action, sea trout deliver a fun and rewarding experience.
Sheepshead
Sheepshead, nicknamed "convict fish" for their distinct black and white stripes, are a real treat to catch. These tough fighters usually weigh 1-8 pounds but can reach up to 20 pounds. You'll find them around structures like docks, bridges, and oyster beds, where they munch on barnacles and crustaceans with their surprisingly human-like teeth. Spring is prime time for sheepshead fishing, especially February through April when they spawn. Anglers love targeting them for their challenging bite and excellent table fare. When fishing for sheepshead, patience is key. They're notorious bait stealers, so you've got to feel for that subtle nibble. Here's a local tip: use a small, sharp hook and bait it with fiddler crabs or oysters. Get your bait right up against the structure and be ready to set the hook fast. It's a game of finesse, but landing one of these striped beauties is worth the effort.
Summer Flounder
Summer Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending seamlessly with the ocean floor. These flatfish typically run 15-20 inches, but can grow up to 26 pounds. You'll find them in coastal waters, often lurking near structures or in sandy areas. They're ambush predators, so they wait patiently for prey to come close. Fall is prime time for catching these guys, especially September through November. Anglers love targeting them for their tasty white meat and the challenge they present. When fishing for flounder, use a slow retrieve with your bait near the bottom. A local trick: try using a bucktail jig tipped with a strip of squid or fish. The key is to feel for that distinctive "thump" when they hit your bait. Remember, they have both eyes on one side of their head, so they attack sideways. Set the hook quickly, and you're in for a fun fight with these oddball fish.
Tripletail
Tripletail are the oddballs of inshore fishing, and that's what makes them so fun. These quirky fish typically run 2-13 pounds but can reach up to 40 pounds. You'll find them floating near the surface, often mimicking debris or leaves. They love warm water, so summer is prime time, especially July and August. Look for them around buoys, channel markers, or floating debris. Anglers love targeting them for their unusual appearance, hard fights, and excellent table fare. When fishing for tripletail, sight fishing is the way to go. Here's a local tip: approach slowly and cast past the fish, then slowly retrieve your bait past them. They're ambush predators, so they'll often pounce quickly. Use live shrimp or small crabs on a light fluorocarbon leader. These fish can be spooky, so stealth and accuracy are key. Landing a tripletail is always a memorable experience, both on the water and at the dinner table.
