Snook

While Snow Lake Shores is inland, a drive south to the Mississippi Gulf Coast opens up the possibility of targeting snook. While not as abundant as in Florida, snook are present in the coastal waters and offer a thrilling challenge. Focus your efforts around areas like Biloxi, Gulfport, and Pascagoula, particularly near docks, bridges, and mangrove shorelines. Live shrimp, small baitfish, and artificial lures like soft plastics and topwater plugs can all be effective. The warmer months, especially late spring and summer, are the best times to target snook. A local tip: fish during periods of low light, such as dawn and dusk, as snook are often more active then. Also, be mindful of the regulations, as snook are a protected species and have specific size and bag limits. The snook in Mississippi are known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs, making them a prized catch for anglers willing to put in the effort.
