Redfish
Biloxi is a fantastic location to target redfish, with its expansive bayous, marshes, and nearshore waters offering prime habitat. The fall months, particularly September through November, are renowned for redfish activity as they school up before spawning. Focus your efforts around oyster beds, grass flats, and points where currents converge. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic and effective presentation. Don't overlook using artificial lures like soft plastics or spoons, especially in shallower water. A local tip is to explore the Biloxi Bay area and the surrounding marsh systems by kayak or small boat for a more intimate fishing experience. The redfish in this area are known for their bronze coloration and strong fighting ability. Be mindful of the tides, as redfish often move with the changing water levels to feed.
