Pro Anglers' Paradise: Chandeleur Islands Fishing
Get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime with Southeastern Sportfishing Company's exclusive Chandeleur Islands charter. This ain't your average day on the water - we're talking three full days of non-stop action targeting monster Speckled Trout and bull Redfish. Departing from Biloxi, MS, you'll be living large on our 63' Mothership, with round-the-clock access to some of the best inshore fishing the Gulf Coast has to offer. Pack your gear and leave the rest to us - we've got the boat, the beds, and the bites covered.
The Lowdown on Your Trip
This ain't no beginner's rodeo. We're catering to the seasoned pros who live and breathe fishing. You'll be hitting the flats from Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning, with the meat of your fishing time running a hardcore 24-hour stretch from Friday to Saturday. We're talking serious, no-holds-barred angling here. The Mothership is your floating five-star hotel, complete with comfy beds, private bathrooms, and all the amenities you need to recharge between sessions. Our first mate's got your back, handling everything from boat positioning to fish cleaning, so you can focus on what matters - putting those trophy fish in the boat.
Fishing the Chandeleur Way
Out here on the Chandeleur Islands, we play by nature's rules. You'll be sight-casting to tailing reds in gin-clear shallows, working topwater lures for explosive trout strikes, and maybe even poling the flats if the bite gets technical. Bring your A-game and your favorite rods - we're talking light tackle and artificial lures for the most part. Fly fishermen, don't forget your 8-weights and plenty of Clouser minnows. The Chandeleurs are known for big fish in skinny water, so be ready for anything from delicate presentations to battles with bulldogging reds that'll test your drag system.
Why Anglers Can't Get Enough
Listen, we've had pros come back year after year, and it's not just for the gourmet grub (though that prime rib doesn't hurt). It's the sheer quality of the fishing that keeps 'em coming. One seasoned angler put it best: "I've fished all over, but nothing compares to sight-casting to 30-inch reds in water so clear you can count their spots." Another regular couldn't get over the numbers: "We must've caught and released over 50 trout in one morning, with a bunch over 5 pounds. It's insane." And let's not forget the atmosphere: "Waking up on the boat, coffee in hand, watching the sunrise over the islands... man, that's living."
Fish You'll Be Chasing
Speckled Trout are the bread and butter of Chandeleur fishing. These silver-sided assassins with spotted backs and yellow mouths are ambush predators that'll crush a topwater lure or inhale a soft plastic. They school up big time, especially around the full and new moons. When you find 'em, hold on tight - a 5-pounder will give you a run for your money, and anything over 7 pounds is a true gator trout that'll have you grinning ear to ear.
Redfish, or red drum if you're feeling fancy, are the bruisers of the flats. These copper-colored bulldogs can push 40 inches and 30 pounds in these parts. They love to tail in shallow water, giving you a shot at sight-fishing nirvana. When a big red takes off on a scorching run, you'll understand why we call 'em the "poor man's bonefish." They're at their best in fall and spring, but honestly, there's no bad time to tangle with a Chandeleur red.
Time to Lock In Your Spot
Look, if you're still reading this, you know this trip is the real deal. We're talking world-class inshore fishing, five-star accommodations on the water, and the kind of exclusive access that'll make your fishing buddies green with envy. Spots on the Mothership fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. So if you're ready to test your skills against some of the best fish the Gulf has to offer, don't wait. Grab your crew, pack your favorite rods, and let's make some memories on the Chandeleur Islands. Trust me, once you've fished these waters, everywhere else is just practice.
Learn more about the species
Redfish
Redfish are the bulldogs of the flats - stocky, powerful, and always ready for a fight. You'll spot 'em by that trademark black dot near the tail. Most reds we catch run 24-30 inches, but they can get much bigger. These guys love skinny water, often tailing in just a foot or two. Look for them around oyster bars, grass flats, and marsh edges. Redfish will eat just about anything, but we have great luck with gold spoons and scented soft plastics. Fall is prime time as reds school up to spawn. Anglers dig 'em for the hard-pulling fights and excellent eating - the meat's mild and versatile. Here's a local secret: on calm days, scan the flats for pushed water or "nervous" bait. That often means reds are on the hunt.
Sea Trout
Speckled trout are a blast to catch around the Chandeleurs. These silver beauties typically run 14-24 inches and put up a great fight on light tackle. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love to chase shrimp and small fish, so we use artificial lures that mimic their prey. Jerk baits, topwater plugs, and soft plastics all work well. Trout fishing heats up in spring and fall when water temps are just right. Anglers love targeting specs for their sporty nature and excellent table fare. The meat is delicate and flaky - just be careful not to overcook it. Pro tip: when you find one trout, there's usually more nearby. These guys often school up, so work an area thoroughly once you get a bite.
