Mississippi Saltwater Fishing: Season & Tackle Guide
From Biloxi and Gulfport out to the deepwater rigs, Mississippi anglers work nearshore reefs for red snapper and reach blue-water tuna grounds faster than almost anywhere else on the Gulf Coast.
Peak Seasons
Red Snapper: The state-waters season for private anglers typically runs late May through early July, with federal for-hire trips extending later into summer.
Tuna: Yellowfin and blackfin work the deepwater rigs and floating structure spring through fall, with summer producing the most consistent action.
King Mackerel & Cobia: A spring and summer staple around the same nearshore reefs and rigs that hold snapper.
