WHAT TO EXPECT
We offer 4,6, and 8-hour fishing excursions to our beautiful barrier islands and into the Gulf of Mexico. You can encounter stunning displays of marine life, from seabirds and dolphins to taking in some of the local history, observing Fort Massachusetts while trolling baits around Ship Island or anchoring and chumming the waters for sea monsters alongside the old Isle of Caprice, which eroded almost a century ago with its casino.
We employ many tactics, from bottom fishing, drift fishing, anchoring, chumming, trolling, and live-baiting, to ensure success for our guests. Different species require different tactics, and tactics for those species also change with seasons.
At High Times Charters, we know what tactics to use when to provide you with a rewarding and memorable experience along our beautiful waters!
