Coastal Mississippi Fishing

Some trophies go nicely with a squeeze of lemon. At least that’s what you’ll find on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where the fishing opportunities are big and the fish you catch are, well, bigger. Our peaceful, warm waters offer everything from freshwater to brackish water to saltwater fishing, and there are 200 species of fish up for grabs.

Fish inshore. Fish off our piers. Spend your day wade fishing or deep-sea fishing – or both. For more on recreational fishing, visit the Department of Marine Resources.

And if you’re new to these parts, and by “parts” we mean waters, you should know that Mississippi Gulf Coast fishing requires a fishing license; for more on getting a license, see here. Oh, but if you’re chartering a boat for the day, your captain will take care of all licensing, bait and tackle. Check coastal tide charts.

The catch of your life awaits. Just remember to invite us for dinner.
