About this trip
When red snapper season opens on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, we run hard. Captain Brandon has been fishing these snapper grounds since before the seasons got complicated, and he knows which reefs hold the bigger fish — not just the first limits you run into. We'll work ledges, artificial reefs, and wrecks until we find the grade you're after.
Snapper trips are family-friendly and beginner-welcoming. We hand you a rigged rod, bait the hook, and walk you through the bite. When the fish comes over the rail, our experienced First Mate has the gaff and the cooler ready. All tackle, bait, ice, and licenses are included — you just bring food and drinks.
Red snapper seasons change every year and there are both state and federal windows. Don't guess at it — call Captain Brandon at (228) 282-4452 and he'll tell you exactly what's open right now and get you on the books before the dates fill up. The Shearwater's ice-cold A/C cabin and private restroom keep you comfortable on the run out and back.
