I have 2-3 spots available on Chandeleur Islands Trip some buddies and myself are going on Sept 10-12. I need at least two more guys but can accommodate three. This is a men only trip, sorry ladies. All guys on this trip that are booked are ages 27-40 years old who enjoy the outdoors.
We will be meeting in Beaumont, TX Wednesday Sept 9th evening/night to stay at a hotel which will reduce our drive to Biloxi, MS by 4 hours for most of us. We will get a hotel somewhere in the Beaumont/Orange area. Guys that live in Houston are just leaving from there.
Thursday Sept 10th we will leave early from Beaumont and finish our drive to Biloxi. We can begin boarding the mothership around 11am and we depart around 12pm.
We will fish a half day afternoon Thursday.
Friday and Saturday we will fish full days.
We will return to dock Saturday night around 11pm. This boat docks at the Golden Nugget - Biloxi. Anyone who wishes to gamble can and we will be able to stay on the boat that Saturday night.
Sunday we will depart early for the trek back to Texas.

6 – 2003 Sea-n-Sport 14′ V-hull fiberglass skiffs (2 guys per skiff)
Other Details From Website:
You’ll largely be targeting speckled trout and redfish. You’ll also come across the occasional flounder, ladyfish, bluefish, jack crevalle, tarpon, and various species of sharks.
“What tackle should I bring?”, is probably the most common question. The trout and reds at the Chandeleur Islands aren’t picky about baits. If you’ve got a favorite bait or technique that you use at home, it will work out here, too. But if you’re looking for some suggestions on what to put in your tackle bag, here’s a good start.
2 rods and reels (casting or spinning, or fly if you’re inclined) spooled with 14- to 17-pound test monofilament or 20- to 30-pound braided line
Tackle Box Suggestions:
Soft-plastics (paddeltails and straight-tails)
Jigheads, 1/8- and 1/4-ounce
Bucktails
Cocahoes or Sparkle Beetles
DOA Shrimp
Johnson Sprites
Mirr-O-lures (sinking or floating)
Corks (popping or mauler corks)
Shad Rigs
Top Dogs
30-pound monofilament leaders
Wade Fishing Gear:
Long Pants
Wading Belt
Wading boots or tennis shoes and socks
Long stringer
Needlenose pliers
Lightweight, long-sleeve shirts and pants
Clothing and Miscellaenous Gear:
Shorts and extra clothing
Sandals or deck shoes
Hat
Sunglasses
Sunscreen
Camera
Ice Chest (for bringing your fish home, there are ice chests on the boat for your drinks)
Insect repellant
Louisiana fishing license (these can be purchased online, or at the dock before you head out)
Prescription medications
Headache, Motion Sickness, etc. medications
Personal toiletries
Alcoholic beverages if desired (cans are preferred over glass) alcohol is not provided at all must bring your own.
Everyone on this trip does drink. I personally do not drink heavily but that's not to say some of my buddies won't tie one on but within reason. These are all good ol' boys and I have been friends with for years.
If there is anyone who would like to join us they can mail me an $80 deposit per person to hold there spot. We need at least two guys but can accommodate up to three.
Total cost of trip I would estimate to be around $800 after trip cost, fuel, fishing license, tip, and hotel room in Beaumont, MINUS gambling if you choose too.
Please TEXT or CALL me - do not PM me. Or post questions here.
Thanks!
