Redfish

If you're after redfish in Mississippi, Bay St. Louis is a fantastic place to start. The shallow bays, marshes, and tidal creeks surrounding the town offer ideal habitat for these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but redfish can be caught year-round. Focus your efforts around oyster reefs, grass beds, and points where currents converge. A local's secret is to target the Biloxi Marsh area, accessible by boat, where redfish often cruise the edges of the grass looking for shrimp and crabs. Try using popping corks with live shrimp or soft plastic lures for best results. The redfish in this area are known for their bronze color and willingness to strike a variety of baits. Remember to check the local regulations regarding size and bag limits before you hit the water. The shallow waters and abundant structure make this a great location for sight fishing, adding an extra element of excitement to your redfish adventure.
