Local Tips & Conditions
Gulfport's fishing waters offer excellent opportunities year-round, though seasonal patterns affect what species are most active. Spring and fall are prime times for inshore species like speckled trout and redfish, while summer brings opportunities for offshore species including snapper and mackerel. Winter can still produce great fishing, particularly for sheepshead around structure and redfish in deeper channels.
Weather conditions on the Mississippi Gulf can change quickly, so we continuously monitor forecasts to ensure both safety and fishing success. Morning trips often provide calmer waters, while afternoon sea breezes can pick up, especially during summer months. The area features a mix of shallow grass flats, oyster bars, deeper channels, and artificial reefs that hold different species throughout the year.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Captain Ben's Charters, plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. Wear comfortable clothes appropriate for the weather, including non-slip shoes, sun protection, and rain gear if the forecast suggests it might be needed. While all fishing equipment is provided, you may want to bring a camera, sunscreen, any preferred drinks and snacks, and a cooler for your catch if you plan to keep fish.
Our vessel comfortably accommodates up to 6 passengers and is equipped with shade, a restroom, and all necessary safety equipment. Most charters depart early morning to take advantage of prime fishing conditions, but we can accommodate afternoon trips as well. Captain Ben will clean your catch after the trip, so you can take home fresh fillets ready for the dinner table.
