Best places to fish in Biloxi

42 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Biloxi sits at the heart of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where the sheltered Mississippi Sound and its chain of barrier islands make for some of the most productive inshore fishing on the Gulf. Redfish, speckled trout and flounder work the marsh edges and grass flats, and captains run out to Ship Island, Cat Island and Horn Island where the water cleans up and the trout bite turns on. Push past the islands and offshore trips chase red snapper on the reefs, cobia (locally called ling) migrating in spring, king mackerel and sight-cast tripletail floating around buoys and crab-trap lines. Charters launch from the marinas along the casino coast in Biloxi and neighboring Gulfport, running everything from half-day bay trips to full-day federal-water runs.

FAQ

Fishing in Biloxi - common questions

How much does a fishing charter cost in Biloxi? +

Most Biloxi charters run about $450-$1,200. Inshore half-day trips in the Sound sit at the low end, while full-day offshore runs for snapper and pelagics, and private boats over shared ones, push toward the top. Confirm the all-in price and what is included directly with the captain.

What fish can you catch inshore versus offshore out of Biloxi? +

Inshore around the marshes and barrier islands you target redfish, speckled trout and flounder. Offshore trips go after red snapper on the reefs, cobia and king mackerel in season, plus tripletail sight-cast near floating structure. Tell the captain your target so they match the trip.

When is the best time to fish Biloxi? +

Spring brings cobia and strong trout action around the islands, summer opens federal red snapper on the reefs, and fall is prime for redfish bunching up in the marsh. Trout and reds are catchable year-round, with the coldest months pushing fish into deeper Sound holes.

Do I need a fishing license on a Biloxi charter? +

Licensed charter operations in Mississippi typically cover anglers under the boat's license, so you usually do not need your own. Always confirm with the operator when you book, since coverage can vary by trip and vessel.
