Mega-Bite Fishing Charters

A 17 year, three boat operation with the deepest review record in Biloxi and clear, all included pricing with no fuel charge, but much of its business is inshore and the offshore trips run a rotating roster of captains. Book a red snapper or deep sea trip for the value and the record; ask which captain and boat you draw.

Ranked #5 of 5 in Biloxi Updated June 2026 Reviewed by the fishing desk

Mega-Bite Fishing Charters is the most reviewed charter operation in Biloxi, a three boat outfit that has run since 2008 and carries close to 300 reviews on Google at 4.9. It fishes both sides of the Biloxi fishery, inshore and nearshore for redfish and trout and offshore for red snapper, and its pricing is among the clearest in the port: everything included, no fuel charge. It sits fifth in our ranking, the value and record pick, scored where it is because much of its business is inshore and the offshore trips run a rotating roster of captains rather than a single owner.

The verdict and where it ranks

At 7.2 Mega-Bite is a strong choice and the fifth boat in our Biloxi ranking. Its case is the record and the value: the deepest review trail in the port, a 17 year history, and clear, all included pricing with no fuel charge, which several boats here cannot match. The reasons it sits at the foot of the ranked field are honest ones. Much of what Mega-Bite runs is inshore and nearshore rather than true offshore, so on a deep sea page only its red snapper and deep sea trips are in scope, and with three boats and a roster of captains, the skipper and boat you draw vary. Book a red snapper or deep sea trip for the value and the record, and ask who is running it.

The boats

Mega-Bite runs three boats, each taking up to 6 anglers, the Coast Guard limit on a six pack boat. The honest gap here is detail: the operation does not publish the individual boat names, lengths, or engines on its site, so the specifics of the boat you will fish are harder to pin down than on the owner run boats in the port. What is clear is that the fleet is sized for the inshore, nearshore, and offshore reef trips it advertises, and the reviews describe clean, well kept boats. For a deep sea trip, confirm which boat is assigned and that it is rigged for the offshore run.

The fishing and what you target

Mega-Bite fishes both sides of the Biloxi fishery. The shorter trips, 4 to 6 hours, work Biloxi Bay, the Mississippi Sound, and the barrier islands up to about 15 miles out for redfish, speckled trout, sharks, and cobia. The offshore trips, the dedicated red snapper runs at 6 and 8 hours and the 8 hour deep sea trip, push past the barrier islands to the Gulf reefs and wrecks for red snapper and other bottom fish. Red snapper is the in season offshore headline, fished on the federal for-hire season that runs June 1 to October 26 in 2026. The reviews report strong catches across both inshore and offshore trips and praise the captains for coaching beginners.

Trips and prices

Mega-Bite sells by the whole boat, and the value is the strong point. The offshore trips are $1,100 for a 6 hour red snapper trip, $1,400 for the 8 hour, and $1,150 for an 8 hour deep sea trip, with the shorter inshore and nearshore trips at $550 to $750. Bottled water, bait, tackle, rods and reels, the fishing license, and fish cleaning are all included, and there is no fuel charge, which is unusual on a Gulf coast where several boats add one. A fifth or sixth angler is extra on the standard trips, and a deposit holds the date. Our cost guide sets these whole boat numbers in context, and the party boat versus private charter guide explains why Biloxi is a whole boat port with no walk on option.

The crew

Mega-Bite runs a roster of captains across its three boats, named on the site as Bryan Cuevas, Dustin Ewing, Kyle Powell, and Haydon Smith, with others appearing in the reviews. The track record is the strength: close to 300 Google reviews at 4.9, with a genuine spread rather than a wall of perfect scores, plus a clean Better Business Bureau file going back to 2008. The recurring praise is patient, personable captains who are good with children and beginners, and smooth, no surprises logistics. The qualifier is the rotating roster: with four captains and three boats, the experience can vary trip to trip, so it is worth asking who you have.

Booking and what to know

Book directly through the operator’s own site, which carries the rates and the trip menu. The boats meet at Bay Shore Drive under the north side of the I-110 bridge in Biloxi Bay, a couple of blocks from the Scarlet Pearl Casino, rather than at a commercial marina, so check the meeting point when you book. No fishing license is needed, the boat covers it for everyone aboard, and cleaning is included. Bring food, drinks, sunscreen, and motion sickness medication for the offshore run. For an owner run offshore boat instead, Shearwater and Fish-On are the alternatives.

How we scored it

Mega-Bite scores 7.2: the most reviewed operation in Biloxi, with a 17 year record, clear all inclusive pricing, and no fuel charge. Track record and value are its top factors. It sits at the foot of the ranked field because much of its business is inshore rather than the offshore reef and bluewater this page ranks, it runs a rotating roster of captains across three boats, and it does not publish the individual boat specs.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Mega-Bite offshore trip in Biloxi?

The offshore trips are $1,100 for a 6 hour red snapper trip, $1,400 for the 8 hour, and $1,150 for an 8 hour deep sea trip, for the whole boat. Shorter inshore and nearshore trips run $550 to $750. Bottled water, bait, tackle, rods and reels, the fishing license, and fish cleaning are all included, with no fuel charge, which is unusual in the port. A fifth or sixth angler is extra on the standard trips.

Does Mega-Bite run true offshore deep sea trips?

It runs both. Much of its business is inshore and nearshore, up to about 15 miles out for redfish, trout, sharks, and cobia, but the dedicated red snapper trips, 6 and 8 hours, run past the barrier islands to the Gulf reefs and wrecks, and there is an 8 hour deep sea trip. Red snapper is the in season offshore headline. If you want a true offshore day, book the snapper or deep sea trip, not the standard inshore trip.

Which captain and boat will I get with Mega-Bite?

Mega-Bite runs three boats with a roster of captains, including Bryan Cuevas, Dustin Ewing, Kyle Powell, and Haydon Smith, so the captain and boat you draw can vary with the trip and the date. The operation has run since 2008 and the captains are well reviewed, but because the roster rotates, ask who is running your trip and which boat when you book.

    Editor's Pick

    Shearwater Charters

    The deepest reviewed boat in Biloxi and the top of our field, a 37 foot sportfisherman run by an owner captain since 1995, with the port's fullest trip menu from a half day to a 12 hour run for red snapper. Book it for an offshore reef or snapper day; the hull is older and one review flags a slow start, so confirm the plan when you book.

    Mississippi Gulf Coast Fishing Charters

    The most offshore committed operation in Biloxi, a 37 foot Freeman catamaran and a 31 foot Bertram that run from reef snapper to a 10 hour bluewater day for tuna and swordfish, voted the coast's best charter in 2024 and 2025. Book it for the deep water; the rates page does not spell out what is included and the bluewater trips add a fuel charge, so confirm the total.

  3. 3

    Fish-On Charters

    A 38 foot catamaran run by a multigenerational Biloxi captain, a stable, comfortable offshore platform with a deep, verified review record and clear posted pricing. Book it for a barrier island or red snapper day; the hull is older and fish cleaning is a tip rather than included, so factor both in.
