About fishing in Mississippi
Mississippi's 4 public access points span the Gulf coast, across 2 counties. Across them, the species anglers most often target are Red Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Southern Flounder, and Sheepshead. Each is scored live on water temperature, tide, moon phase, barometric pressure, and weather. Always confirm current size, creel, and season limits with the Mississippi state fishery agency before keeping fish — we flag any species whose regulations we haven't yet verified.
