Took a lil minication this week an of course missed a trip or 2, kid's had an invite to tour Ms State University. Did that an spent day or so with mom in Grenada, an swung through ol pops in Neshoba Co.

Went boating on lil' WHIPA today and set out the crab pots, been tasting some good ol'boiled crabs. Decided while I was out to take a couple of fish weapons with me and the brill net. After putting out crab pots, went over and found one factory working and with one throw the net started swimming off with the pogey's (oh yea). So off to do lil fishing, wanted to fish some new spots, went to old reef by mouth of Fort Bayou.

As I approached the reef I could smell fish and could see several boils on top. Throwed the anchor and it was on, as soon as the pogey hit the water BAM! For about 2 hours I sat there and reeled in fish as fast as humanly possible; specks, white trout, and some drag ripping gafftops. Most of the specks were 12 1/2 to 13 1/2 in. Just kept a few and left them biting.

On way back, decided to stop try one more lil spot. Old discharge pier close to ramp and soon as my free lined pogey got up next to the pier BAM! Red fish, caught three, one was tagged and was the only one to make the 18in cut the other two were just a lil under size, but a blast on the light spin weapon.

Boy, tell ya they keep this oil shut down might open up lil bit more water. But if not man the Bay is alive and well! We did reel well in Bay last year especially Aug. and Sept. Sure would love to get in a snapper trip!!!!!!!!

Come on down South Mississippi and step aboard the WHIPASNPAPA! That's all you have to do.

Ready to fish; tired of fighting with those people that SAY they gone make it right; bs from the bp; so if you need a cut especially for the kids, call us an LETS GO GET UM!!!!!!!!!! That's what we do best::::::::::

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!
