Sheepshead dominate the Biloxi Ms. Charter Boat WhipaSnapa report this week. Been blessed to have entertained folks from just about every state this week. Seriously!! Several return friends, which we are always happy to see.. While fishing started out pretty good, beginning of the week, a few smaller reds, some sheeps an a few small puppydrum, really no big or large number catches but 8 to 10 decent fish per trip. All just the 3 or 4 hour light tackle which when the bite is slow is kind of tough to produce a great box. Some ground mullet and white trout throwed in as well. Which or fixen to heat up even more next couple weeks...

But late week I did struggle. I'm not one to make a bunch of excuses but... I just wasn't in the right spot at the right time evidently. The Back Bay is a really great place to fish, but it is vulnerable to big rains, saltwater fish run from fresh water. I did go on the hunt just took a couple days to relocate.. I am Human, just had to get out of the Bay cause first day out to the Barrier Island we hammered the Big Sheeps. And they are still pretty consistent today, lot of people don't know bout the sheepshead but they are a lot of fun on the end of the light tackle spin cast, and eat just fine also. Most have been averaging 4 to 6lb.. Lil peculiar sometimes but patience will usually prevail and of course the right bait helps. With all the rain a week or so ago the bait shops were failing to catch any live shrimp..which did hurt the catches also.. But we improvised an found a even deadlier bait....

Absolutely beautiful weather this week and some really great folks were on board the WhipaSnapa Charter Boat for some great boating adventures. I THANK YA'LL>>>>>

I apologize to the couple trips that put their faith in me an I failed... When I struggled it really bothers me... Please give us another try it does not happen often!!?? The bite is back on in the bay now though....

Starting to see some mackerel and bluefish chasing baits out at the Island also, with a lot of rays, and for all the shark lovers seen one them today also, moan in here and lets jump aboard the ol WhipaSnapa an lets boat....

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!
