Fishing in January on the Biloxi Back Bay

by

We would like to take the time to thank everybody for a very productive (loads of fish and friends)..and safe 2018. (Except for the captains shark bite….) And we would like to wish everyone a Happy and safe New Year! Hope you had a joyful Christmas…Ours was GREAT spent time with family and friends.

The Biloxi Mississippi charter boat “WhipaSnapa”, finally had decent enough weather to jump off the 2019 fishing season…As predicted the fishing was little slow….as we have had an enormous amount of rain the last couple of weeks…Even the bait shops are hurting they did not have any live shrimp, but we always keep a large supply of fresh dead!!

On this day we started out couple miles west of the I-110 bridge and fished a few consistent spots..action was slow but we were able to get few nice reds in the 14 to 17 inch range in maybe an 1 1/2 hours!!

Then ran down east of the I-110 bridge where the fishing picked up quite a bit but still the smaller Reds..won’t mention the nice flounder that flopped out trying to get it in the boat.

So to make a long story short….once we found the trick and the sweet spot we boated a large number of really nice black drum and red fish. Fishing on the front side of the highway 90 bridge with a 3/8 oz lead head along with a dead shrimp drifting with the tide on bottom…good stuff

Anchored in front of the large columns with a rising tide, letting the bait fall dead in the middle of the bridge, about 10 feet under the front side would get a strike most every time! Felt really good to see the smiles and the rods bent with the drags ripping…

So load up and come on down and knock the rust off with me

LET’S GO FISHING

God Bless

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!!!

Finally a cobia makes its way to my belly- Whipasnapa Charter

Some more beautiful weather along the South Mississippi shores has finally produced a nice keeper cobia for the Biloxi Ms. charter boat Whipasnapa. Big reds, sharks, jacks an piles of spanish and King mackeral, entertained as we anticipated the next cobia to come up the chum slick, or for the screams of the reels to get everyone’s ol ticker ticking at a very dramatic tick.

Only one problem, 2 of the cobia, happened to show an hit at the same time!That didn’t work out so good. One eluded our attempt to capture the beast. But luckily (I suppose) it was the smaller of the two. Sure felt good to give out a round of ol high fives thou. Just breaking the ice was a great feeling. Especially since it seems I was getting to be one of the last to catch one. Yeah, trust me these fellows round here, they like to rub it in. Especially; when it comes to the cobia. They all ask me “You get one yet? You caught any cobia?” Well we have caught 4, which 3 were just short of making the 33inch mark. Anyway a nice fat 42 lber(has give us some redemption) an did make for some surenuff :)s. O an some happy belly’s 2.

Another nice 40 come up through the master chum slick about noon. Which the other action was about 7:30, not long after we anchored. So quite some time had passed before the next sighting. Yes, just a sighting, passed just feet from the boat in the slick 4 times. Yet no one could entice this madame to take their offerings.

The spanish on the lil light tackle spin cast helped pass some time,an were surenuff the :) producers. A bright chartreuse jig bounced around in the chum, produced an exhilarating drag ripping run bout every time. A free lined poggey or croaker drifted back a little further(in the chum slick) would get the ol mighty Kings attention also.

The winds picked up on the weekend, which kept us inshore for one, an actually grounded us Sunday. The crew sat. did manage a good mess of whitetrout, Sheepshead, blackdrums an ground mullets. They elected to take a variety sampler (of the catch) to one of our favorite lil restaurants and have it cooked up for lunch. They only had 2 thumbs but gave it 4 thumbs up.

what you waiting for here is your invitation:

Getcha self on down here, load up on the dang ol’ WhipaSnapa an let’s get it on!!!

Many thanks to all and God Bless!!!!
