Night Fishing Adventure in Biloxi's Backwaters

Get ready for an unforgettable evening on the water with our 4-hour night fishing trip in Biloxi. As the sun sets and the city lights start twinkling, we'll hit the rich inshore waters of the Mississippi Gulf Coast for some serious angling action. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, our experienced guides will put you on the fish and show you the ropes of night fishing. With a max of 4 guests, this trip is perfect for families, friends, or even a solo adventure. At $600 for the group, it's a steal for a private charter experience that'll have you hooked on Biloxi's after-dark fishing scene.

What to Expect on the Water

Our night fishing trips kick off at 6:30 PM, just as the day's heat starts to fade and the fish begin to get active. We'll cruise out from the marina, with our captain pointing out local landmarks and sharing stories about the area's rich fishing heritage. As darkness falls, we'll switch on our special fishing lights, attracting baitfish and creating a feeding frenzy that draws in the bigger predators. You'll be amazed at how different the water looks at night – it's like fishing in a whole new world. We provide all the gear you'll need, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Just bring your sense of adventure and maybe a light jacket for when the evening breeze picks up.

Night Fishing Techniques

Night fishing is a whole different ball game, and we've got it down to a science. We'll use a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what's biting. Our go-to technique is often drift fishing with live shrimp or croakers, letting the boat's movement present the bait naturally to lurking predators. We might also do some casting around lighted docks or bridges, where fish gather to feed on baitfish attracted by the glow. Don't worry if you're new to this – our guides are patient teachers and will have you casting like a pro in no time. And there's something special about feeling that tug on your line in the darkness – it adds a whole new level of excitement to every catch.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Even with the summer heat, our captain knew exactly where to take us—we caught plenty of fish throughout the trip! We got an up-close look at dolphins, watched a shark snatch its meal right off our line, and even reeled in a big crab. He took us to several great spots around the bay and kept things fun with stories and local insights. It was a memorable day on the water, and we're already planning to come back. We'll definitely be booking with him again!" - Shawna

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored beauties are the crown jewels of Biloxi's inshore waters. Known for their distinctive spot near the tail, redfish put up a fierce fight and can grow to impressive sizes. At night, they often move into shallower waters to feed, making them prime targets for our trips. The "bull reds" – those over 27 inches – are catch-and-release, but they make for an epic battle and a great photo op.

Spotted Seatrout: Also known as "specks" by the locals, these fish are a night fishing favorite. They've got excellent night vision and often feed more aggressively after dark. Listen for their distinctive "popping" sound as they attack baitfish on the surface. Seatrout have soft mouths, so setting the hook just right is key – our guides will show you the perfect technique.

Sheepshead: Don't let their goofy teeth fool you – these striped fish are clever and put up a surprisingly good fight. They love structure, so we often target them around pilings and oyster beds. Sheepshead are notorious bait stealers, so feeling their bite requires a bit of finesse. When you hook one, you're in for a tasty treat – they're some of the best eating fish in the Gulf.

Southern Flounder: Masters of camouflage, flounder are ambush predators that lie in wait on the bottom. At night, they often move into shallower waters to feed, making them more accessible to anglers. When you feel that distinctive "thump" on your line, get ready – flounder have a unique way of taking the bait, and the hookset is crucial. Landing a big "doormat" flounder is always a highlight of any trip.

Black Drum: These cousins of the redfish are built like linebackers and fight like them too. We often find them rooting around on the bottom, using their sensitive barbels to locate crabs and shrimp. The smaller ones, called "puppy drum," are excellent eating. The bigger ones can top 50 pounds and will test your arms and your drag. Either way, hooking into a black drum is always exciting.
