Start your day with an exciting inshore fishing experience targeting one of the Gulf Coast’s most challenging and delicious catches—Sheepshead! Join Captain David for a focused 3-hour fishing excursion in Bay St. Louis, ideal for anglers of any experience level, whether you are new to fishing or a seasoned pro.
The spotlight of this trip is on Sheepshead, known for their distinctive stripes and sharp teeth, making them both a thrilling catch and a tasty reward. Captain David is well-versed in the best local spots, including pilings, bridges, and oyster-rich structures where these fish gather. Using live bait and light tackle, you’ll employ bottom fishing techniques to reach these crafty fish. Catching Sheepshead requires skillful handling, but the fight they put up makes it all worthwhile!
While Sheepshead are the main focus, there’s a good chance you’ll also reel in other species like Redfish, Flounder, or Black Drum. These vibrant inshore waters offer plenty of opportunities for unexpected catches, adding extra excitement to your outing.
You’ll fish aboard Captain David’s 21-foot Palm Beach bay boat, a clean and dependable vessel powered by a 150HP Yamaha engine. Equipped with GPS, a fishfinder, a wireless trolling motor, and an ice box to keep your drinks and catches fresh, this boat is perfect for navigating shallow waters and getting right to the action. Although there’s no restroom on board, the short nature of the trip ensures you’ll stay focused on fishing.
Captain David provides all necessary gear, including rods, reels, tackle, and live bait, so you can simply show up ready to fish. At the end of your trip, he’ll clean your catch at the dock so you can take home fresh fillets. Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks (please no glass bottles), and know that this trip welcomes families, making it a great outing for anglers of all ages.
