Bird Watching Tours

The barrier islands, marshes and shorelines along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, are truly a bird watchers paradise. Our guides intimate knowledge of the waterways, will allow you to travel to locations few people ever get to visit. If you prefer, we will do our best to bring along a local birding expert, to assist with your trip. Please bring your binoculars, scopes, and cameras. You are not going to want to miss a thing on this unbelievable adventure!!!

The Cat Island Experience

The Cat Island Experience is the only one of its kind in the Northern Gulf. We created this to allow maximum time on the water(if you want). Between the guided trips in our bay boats, the wade fishing, and kayaks, you will be able to fish from sun up to sun down. If you would like to sight see, hang out at the house that is fine as well. You have to see it to believe it…

Happy New Year Captain!

So cool!

Love it!! Happy New Year Captain Sonny and Stephanie!!

Our Shore Thing guides have had a lot of fun on the last several trips. Federal snapper season has kept Capt Alex busy and the inshore boats have been making those smiles happen!
