With the end of the snapper season coming a close for Biloxi, MS based Whipasnapa Charters, it has been a up an slow month catching Red Snappers. The rains kept us fishing around the Barrier Islands and the Biloxi Back Bay area, but the bites were on at both locations in the Gulf of Mexico. And then you have the shark bite….. lol.

When we did our charter boat clients to the offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, we hit them hard and ended up with some great fishing, vermilion, grouper, and of coarse the red snapper. We also caught king mackerel, jack crevalle and then more of them dang sharks.

We had a winner in our Whipasnapa SOW Master tournament!!! Mr Randy Ingram!! He landed 22lbs of Red Snapper, way to go man!! They come from Wisconsin every year to charter fish on the WhipaSnapa. Last year the weather washed them out and we never even stepped a foot on the ole whipasnapa. Glad ya came this year Randy! See ya next year to do it again! Thanks to everybody that participated in our Snapper tournament!

Inshore fishing is a great past time for first timers with little experience or if you just want a leisurely boat ride to get some of the Back Bays finest and a great pictures of sunrises, I never get use to this, breath taking.

In this ole capt’n opinion the Red and Black drum cook up just as well as the Snapper everybody needs to try it. And the shark meat oh yeah!!!! If you haven’t tried it you must come on down and catch you some.

We had some really great folks on the Whipasnapa Charter Boat this week. Glad to see everybody getting out on the water and taking a kid fishing. Good to see the next generation enjoying this as much as I do. Nothing like feeling that pull of the rod and landing something like this….                      So much fun to catch even better eating!!!
