Redfish

If you're chasing Redfish near West Point, Mississippi, remember that West Point itself is inland. Therefore, you'll need to travel south towards the brackish waters of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Focus your attention on areas like the Pascagoula River Delta or the Biloxi Marsh. These areas offer the perfect blend of shallow flats, oyster beds, and grassy shorelines that redfish love. Spring and fall are typically the most productive seasons, as the water temperatures are moderate and the redfish are actively feeding. Look for tailing redfish in the shallows during low tide. A great local tip is to use a popping cork with a soft plastic shrimp imitation – this is a surefire way to attract attention in the murky waters. Also, be aware of the local regulations regarding slot limits and bag limits before you head out.
