About this trip

When the sun sets and the daytime boats head in, the big trout come out to feed. We idle up to the lighted docks, bridges, and passes where speckled trout stack up chasing shrimp and baitfish. It's calm water, a short run, and the fishing can be lights-out. A 4-pound speck under the lights is a trip you'll talk about for years.

Night trips are relaxed and intimate — a great date night, a memory for a parent and teenager, or a cool-weather adventure when the daytime heat is gone. We bring the right lures and the local knowledge of which lights are holding fish this week. Our experienced First Mate handles the netting and the details.

Night Speckled Trout Trips FAQs

When is the best time for night trout fishing in Biloxi?+

Fall and winter nights are prime — cooler water pushes the biggest speckled trout up onto the lighted docks and bridges to feed under the lights.

Is night fishing safe?+

Yes. We fish calm, inshore water close to the dock with a USCG-licensed captain, proper navigation lights, and the latest electronics. It's a short, easy run.

What should I wear for a night charter?+

Layers — Gulf nights are cooler than the daytime, especially fall through winter. A jacket, beanie, and closed-toe shoes are perfect. We have the cabin and covered deck to warm up.

Can beginners do a night trout trip?+

Absolutely. The action under the lights is accessible to new anglers, and we coach every cast. It's a memorable first trip for a teen or a fishing-curious adult.
