Wow! What a great couple weeks (or year) that Biloxi, Ms. Charter Boat WhipaSnapa has been havin! Good Goggly Moggly!! WhipaSnapa Good Times.......

Sorry bout getten yall a week behind but dang Capt. (an boat) needs a day off every now and then.

A lil slower these last few trips especially on the snapper. Slower in as taking a lil longer to get'r done. But are still gettin'r did. Still getting lots of good quality fish just taking a wee bit longer and going a lil bit farther. Talk about some xtrem tug of wars. Literally, this is intense, cause you hook'em in front of boat an you hold everything an run to back of boat..If any drag (or line) comes off reel its pretty much OVA...Mangrove wins...Been avg. a good quality limit of red snapper (8 to 12) an avg bout (8-18lbs).30sh on Mangrove Snapper and I mean a solid 8lbers on avg. They are the ultimate tug of war'r. So if you catching 30, you probably losing at least half cause they going to test your quickness as well as your strength. And until they absolutely piss you off (are I do) they going to win. They also cheat..But what fun can be had, with one of the crafty, hard fighters attached to your Rod....His destination is the back side of that rig leg (not the WhipaSnapa) I promise ya..... When the current is running strong they are a bit more challenging because they do not like to get very far off rig. If bait (piece cut bait) want sink up close (to rig) they may not come out an get it. If chummed up and the right bait is presented just right, they will push their luck.. and BAM1234567890--etc

But a great challenging fish and of course so is Mr. Red Snapper. Few kings and found some scamp grouper and lesser Amberjack that were a good challenge also. And very tastee. My that Scamp eats good. Finding some huge AJ's for you that like that beast. Aug. 1 reopens our Amberjack seasons.

Inshore and Island trip have been loads of fun as well. Boy I had my work cut out on couple of these fo shur. Na Just messin ladies. Actually had crew from Poland with only 2 speakin English. Very exciting and entertaining trips. Absolutely loved. Loads of white trout, ground mullet the drums are consistent ( reds and black).

Island producing sharks, bull red, cobia, specks, spanish etc..It's on !!!

Hot! Hot! Hot! From Backwater to Bluewater! I'm on a Boat!!

Moan......ur invited....

Bio: Capt. Robert "Earl" McDaniel was born and raised on the beautiful Back Bay Biloxi shores, and has been a licensed fishing charter boat Captain since 2001. "I have enjoyed fishing as well as boating these beautiful Mississippi waters all my life, and I enjoy it as much today as ever. What a great place to be at the ‘crack of dawn' or anytime for that matter, its just a great place to be, so I like to spend as much time possible even when not fishing, out running crab pots or catching bait. I keep a large variety of bait fish (croaker, pin fish, menhaden etc) on hand for each trip so we always have what the big fish want (specks, cobia, reds, snapper). I have always enjoyed tournament fishing, and have won several snapper, cobia, and king mackerel tournaments. I try to stay prepared for all situations on the water." The "WhipaSnapa" is a 2009, 29 foot c/c open fishermen "SOW MASTER" with twin 2009 250 Yamaha 4 strokes "SWEET". The boat has all modern conveniences including: private restroom, top notch GPS / fish finder, hard-top/enclosures to get out of the elements, plus the finest fishing tackle and weapons, "rods" on board at all times.. We carry all U.S.C.G. required safety equipment on board for the safest, most enjoyable trip. The WhipaSnapa, being just the right size, allows us to go into shallow back bay waters fairly easily to get to the specks, reds, and flounders, or out to the beautiful Barrier Islands for excellent fishing, camping, photography or just relaxing. Or we can get offshore some 100 miles to chase the big boys like "sow" red snapper, cobia, king mackerel, grouper, tuna, and sharks. One thing I have always enjoyed about a day on the wonderful Gulf of Mexico - you just never know. So come join us for a day on the WhipaSnapa and see for yourself how wonderful it can be!
