YOUR MISSISSIPPI FISHING GUIDE

Biloxi Fishing

• Sheepshead, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, White Trout, Speckled Sea Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Tripletail, and Cobia can all be found off of the shores of Biloxi, Mississippi. A great choice of affordable Mississippi fishing charters can be located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and are your best bet for a high success rate and memories of a lifetime.
• If you heading out for a full-day or half-day of charter fishing isn't your thing, then the Mississippi Sound has a great place to fish off a pier at Broadwater Marina.

Grenada Lake Fishing

• When checking our fishing lakes for Crappie fishing, Grenada Lake is at the top of our list. This 35,820-acre body of water can regularly produce 3-pound Crappies on your hook. Chances are your Crappie fishing guide will follow the Crappie SpawnDuring pre-spawn Crappie will be in the shallow water. When spawn starts, they will move to around brush and stump roots in late March and early April. In the winter months, try the shallows, or they could also be suspended deep in the water on deep-lying brush piles and underwater structure.

Gulf Port Fishing

• The second-largest city in Mississippi offers great offshore fishing charters for Wahoo or Yellowfin Tuna. It also provides some great restaurants, casinos, golf courses, and breweries.

Ocean Springs Fishing

• A lot of state parks are located near Ocean Springs, including Shepard State Park and Buccaneer State Park. Nonetheless, head for Ocean Springs Bridge or also known as Highway 90 Biloxi Bay Bridge during the winter for Flounder or Redfish. If its summertime though fish with dead shrimp for Flounder.

Sardis Lake Fishing

• It doesn't matter if you're fishing or boating. The winds on this lake can affect where you're enjoying your day. Regardless of the winds of all the state fishing lakes, this is the best for crappies. If the wind is blowing, try Engineer Point, which is one of the few fishing spots where the wind is dampened and is close to a boat ramp for quick access. Marina ditch is our second recommendation since it provides a significant drop off from 16 feet to 26 feet that attract schools of Crappie.

Other Fishing Spots

• Long Beach, Grenada Lake, Ross Barnett Reservoir, Enid Lake and Neshoba County State Lake
