motors, and Swinford said clients are often awestruck by the Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.
“We’ve had clients from nearly
every state in the country and they’re amazed by everything from the size of the casinos to the whales, sharks, and dolphins we see out there,” Swinford said. “The boat runs up to 60 miles an hour so we’re actually taking them to deeper waters and farther than most of the other charters. They get to see the size of the oil rigs and the huge offshore platforms. People are truly amazed at what all is out there and we never know what can bite next.”
Swinford added as enjoyable as fishing the Gulf water is, children make it even more fun.“It’s just a better trip when our clients bring their kids and the whole family goes out with us,” he said, adding he and his wife Robyn regularly takes their children out
fishing and they participate in coastal fishing tournaments as a family.
“We love having the little ones with us. When they get to reeling in a fish that’s bigger than they are, it doesn’t get any better and the smiles don’t get any bigger. Helping a kid hold up a fish they caught that weighs more than they do is a great feeling,” Swinford said.
The boat is also set up to take that day’s catch from the line to the grill. “When we’re out there we cook our catch on the boat,” he said. “If you catch a tuna, we can cook it while we’re out on the water. Everyone gets to eat as fresh as it gets because there’s no freezer on the water. It really is a true Biloxi, Gulf Coast experience.”
