Sunny days, clean salt air and the sounds of bait fish jumping; this is fishing on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. If you have made it this far then please contact one of our charter boat captains. Boasting a fleet of boats from twenty foot bay boats to sixty footers to over nighters, from Ocean Springs to Bay Saint Louis the Mississippi Charter business can fill the desires of any angler. Don’t wait around, time passes all to quickly in this life.
This week I had the opportunity to fish with South Mississippi Charters 228- 860-9103 located in Gulfport, Mississippi. South Mississippi Charters is owned and operated by Captain Starlin Lanier. He runs two boats, a 42 foot Bertram named Pleasure Bound and a 26 foot Proline with dual motors named King O Ling. Since Captain Starlin owns two different boats, he can accommodate a large variety of fishing needs. Choices become especially nice when planning fishing trips. Any one that’s ever planned a trip knows that some people (in my case relatives) will drop out in the last minute or want to be added on.
The day I went fishing we took out the 42 foot Bertram. The first thing as always, I checked out the boat for safety. For no reason, will I ever recommend a charter boat that is not safe. South Mississippi Charters runs safe clean boats the bottom line is “I would fish with this charter anytime!” Captain Starlin takes time to go over safety procedures and locations of life jackets. Numerous times charter boat customers have told me how important this procedure was. It’s a quality of all the better captains.
Riding aboard the Pleasure Bound was just as the name implies, a pure pleasure. Make no mistake about it, I ride on a lot of fishing boats, by far and away it’s the smoothest one I have been on yet. The Pleasure Bound can fish six people with ease. I like a lot of fishing space and this boat has it. If you are taking a family fishing or having a corporate event then you can’t go wrong chartering the Pleasure Bound. The Pleasure Bound has galley, shower, and a working head (bathroom) not to mention couches with a flat screen TV. Let’s face it, not everybody can take hard core fishing and all the bouncing around that goes with it. When it’s really hot, having air conditioning for the ride home is a godsend. As we came in the waves picked up between two and three foot, aboard the Pleasure Bound we never noticed.
Captain Starlin runs a first class operation and it shows. South Mississippi Charters fishes for big sharks, bull redfish, cobia, white and speckled trout, as well as other varieties of fish. You’re not going to need rod and reels, any tackle, bait or a fishing license. South Mississippi Charters has all that covered. Basically, bring something to eat, drink and a cooler for your cleaned fish.
This week I was fortunate enough to fish with the Donald and Ingram families from Jackson, Mississippi. They are repeat fishing customers of South Mississippi Charters. Without a doubt they had a very good time. I asked Mrs. Donald, “Would they charter again with South Mississippi Charters?”
She replied, “Yes!” in the blink of an eye. All the recommendations I could ever give would hardly top that.
