Coastal Mississippi has outlined a variety of regional angling options ahead of National Fishing Month, which takes place in August. The Mississippi Gulf Coast features access to the Mississippi Sound, barrier islands, local bays, marshes, and offshore Gulf waters.
The region’s seasonal offerings include nearshore, inshore, and offshore charter excursions departing from multiple coastal communities. Local operations like Fish-On Charters in Biloxi and Fish Assassin Charters in Gulfport provide guided access to reefs, wrecks, and marshes targeting summer species such as red snapper, king mackerel, and redfish.
Several specialized lodging and transport packages are available for visitors looking to access more remote locations. Ship Island Excursions provides ferry service from Gulfport to Ship Island for beach angling, while Shore Thing Fishing Charters in Bay St. Louis offers multi-night lodging and fishing packages on Cat Island.
For land-based options, the region utilizes public facilities such as Presley’s Outing in Moss Point and Lighthouse Park on the Pascagoula River. These locations feature dedicated amenities for visitors including fishing piers, boat launches, campsites, and fish cleaning stations.
The tourism organization noted that nine local charter captains recently received industry recognition, placing them among the top tier of evaluated angling professionals globally. Additionally, a local restaurant program called You Catch, We Cook allows visitors to bring their fresh catches to participating dining locations in Biloxi, Gulfport, and Pass Christian to be prepared by kitchen staff.
