Spend a full day exploring the waters around and south of Mississippi’s beautiful barrier islands with Captain Ron. This fishing trip combines bottom fishing and trolling, giving you two approaches to experience the Gulf Coast fishery. Bottom fishing lets you work areas where fish hold near the seafloor, while trolling offers a different way to cover water in search of feeding fish. Moving between these techniques adds variety to the day and lets you experience different aspects of fishing in the coastal waters. The barrier islands provide a distinctive backdrop as you spend extended time offshore, focused on the fishing and the changing conditions around you. Whether you enjoy the patience of working a bottom bite or the anticipation of a strike while trolling, this outing offers a varied day on the water with Captain Ron.

One for the books today! Michelle and their crew joined us for a spring midday cruise under clear conditions throughout the day. The weather couldn't have been better for getting out on the water with Captain Ron's Charter for our Gulfport Dolphin Cruise.
With our gear rigged and ready, we used spot-and-stalk techniques to locate the dolphins along the Mississippi Sound. The calm waters around Gulfport made it perfect for still hunting as we moved through prime dolphin territory. We also tried some drive hunting methods when we spotted pods in the distance.
The Gulfport area really shines for these techniques because of the protected waters and consistent dolphin activity along the coast. The crew had plenty of opportunities to observe marine life in their natural habitat, and we wrapped up the cruise with smiles all around.

Schools of Bull Reds

Currently the fishing in our area has been as hot as the weather! We have been starting the trips off by bottom fishing for Reds and large Sharks until the bait schools up around mid-day. Then we have been switching over to trolling gear pulling 6 to 8 lines through the bait. Yes, it's been well worth the wait with all lines going off at the same time, multilabel times. This pattern should continue well into October.
