Friars Point, Mississippi, is not a typical location for saltwater or brackish water redfish. Redfish are primarily found along the Gulf Coast. To pursue redfish, you would need to travel south towards the Mississippi Sound and its surrounding marshes and estuaries. Areas like Biloxi, Pascagoula, and the barrier islands offer the best redfish habitat. The ideal times for targeting redfish are during the spring and fall, when they are most active inshore. When fishing the coast, consider using the boat ramps around the Pascagoula River to access the extensive marsh systems. Also, pay close attention to the tides, as redfish often feed aggressively during periods of moving water. Using natural baits like shrimp or crab is highly effective, and adjusting your depth based on water clarity and current is crucial. The redfish along the Mississippi Gulf Coast are prized for their size and fighting ability, making for an exciting angling experience.
