Started out the week on the ol' Biloxi, Ms. Charter Boat WHIPASNAPA, with a couple inshore trips that produced a load of fun.

Hooked an released some really nice sharks out by the Barrier Island and several huge Black drum at the bridge of the Biloxi's Back Bay. Some really nice white trout pulled the strings on Tuesday along with a few really nice puppy drum that pulled out some smiles.

Then, we had to give that ol' Snapa a day or 2 off for some tender lovin care. Boy, she been working hard. Just routine maintenance and a lil tighten up here and there. She got a good ol' scrubbing , polishing, oil changing and was ready to roll out one dem Big Water Adventures!

Mr. Stuart Phillips and crew did the Big Water Adventure and man they stayed bowed up pretty much all day. The very young vibrant whippersnappers wore themselves out on a bunch of fish that just couldn't make the ride in, on the WHIPASNAPA. Huge Red Snapper and some really Big sharks ate us up!! The crew was not to happy putting all that work into getting them SOWS in. Well (SOBS) think what they were referred too. But a good ol photo opp an kissem good bye, pitty that but in a week or so....

We really struggled trying to get hardtails so we could get the Amberjack. Never had that kinda trouble gettin Hardtails, but the suckers just wouldn't hit...Finally had to settle for some really big croakers that we were catching on the rig as bait. But when you pull them out of the deep they hard to revive..(they blow their air bladder out). Revived a few an they did work but....Just couldn't quite get one in the boat. Really a very off day, no mangrove action, did have 1 Mangrove bout 11.5lbs, no cobia never even seen 1. But as I was writing this report got word (see captain for more details). Although the crew fought fish after fish the box was pretty slim when returned to the dock. Few BIG White trout, Candy, Mangrove, and Atlantic Sharpnose....o an that usual sore a$$...

But, good time was evident an I'm sure they going to come back an get some revenge on them dang Red Snapper.

Remember June 1- July 19,2011 on the Red Snapper. We waiting on you!!

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!
