What a week, that WhipaSnapa been slaying 'um son!

Mr. Champion and sons came Monday and got on some red's about, 45lb black drum and a bucket of white trout and ground mullets.

On Tuesday Mrs. Angie and 5 crew, well we just got in a couple hrs fishing 101. Casting, reeling an anything,was a bonus. We did manage 25 or so white trout and ground mullet's etc.

Wednesday, Mr. Cunningham and sons wanted to go offshore, it was a lil rough to say the least, we did make it out to the wrecks,right behind Horn Island, 8 miles or so, first spot for sure. looking for some groupers to feed some nice golden croakers that I'd been saving up. Kind of tough to keep your feet under ya. We did manage 5 groupers, a king, several endangered red snapper and some triggers.

The fellows took the grouper filets over to Shaggy's and had them cook it up. Said it was fantastic!

Friday I invited them to go check the chumming on the bar, action out, much better day, we spotted 2 actually had one take a bait right on top 5 ft from the boat 1 was just a drive by! But enough to go back Saturday, landed 4 got to keep 2 (1-45:1-24). And couple more drive bys we saw 6 total. They are here!!!

More cobia next couple weeks, ground mullet and white trout should stay strong. Blacktips should show this week, reds will be running with them also. Booked up for the 1 day shootout and the 3 day Gornflo's tournaments.

A good trip would be about 4 hrs on the wrecks for some grouper and about 4 hrs on bar or running around for the cobia!! Moan Down!

So let's go!

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!
