About this trip
Trolling is fishing in motion. We set a spread of lures and baits behind The Shearwater and cover water until we find the bait and the fish that follow it. King mackerel are the main event — long, toothy, lightning-fast fish that scream line off the reel. Spanish mackerel keep the rods bending, and a cobia under a ray or weed line is a prize worth bragging about.
This trip suits anglers who like variety and action over a long sit. It's also a great way to find fish when the bottom bite is slow — we cover ground and react to what we mark and see. Captain Brandon watches the water-temperature breaks and the bait on the electronics to put the spread in the right lane.
All rods, reels, trolling tackle, bait, ice, and licenses are included. The covered deck and ice-cold air-conditioned cabin give you a place to rest between strikes. Bring food and drinks, sunscreen, and a readiness for screaming drag. We take pride in showing every customer an unforgettable time on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
