Pascagoula River Fishing Reports

Fall Fishing Finally Turning On - Delayed by the flood of fresh water dumped into the Pascagoula River by Hurricane Gustav, the speckled trout have finally moved in. We are getting a lot of strikes on top water lures, so we are pretty much sticking to that because it is so much fun. more...

Rain Water Plus Storm Surge - We have been seeing a lot of fresh water coming down the Pascagoula River since Hurricane Gustov passed through last week. Several inches of rain dropped by the hurricane has resulted in the flushing out of our coveted menhaden baitfish. We won't s more...

Hurricane Should Turn Fish On - Hurricanes are not something coastal residents wish for, but after one passes through we always see a spike in the fish bites. As I write this I am in the feeder bands of approaching hurricane Gustov. We should see winds up to 70 mph from the storm more...

Reds and Flounder Best Bet - Speckled trout fishing is still slow as is common in the Pascagoula River marsh during the hot months. You can get a dozen or so if you work at it, but they just aren't bunched up right now. The specks will start showing up in good numbers in a few more...

Tough Times This Week - In spite of good quality live pogy we have had trouble getting bites this week. Up until now we were able to count on flounder to make up for finicky specks and reds, but this week the flounder were also hard to find. A week ago we were limiting more...

Flounder On The Points - Flounder have been the easiest to locate and have been biting live cocohoes and jigs. They are in the natural ambush positions on the points along the river banks at the mouths of bayous and lakes. All of the flounder we are catching are nice ones more...

Flounder The Best Bet - Trout and reds have been spotty the last week. The rains of last week have muddied the river pretty good and have driven the trout and reds south. You can still find some nice reds and specks near the mouth of the river. The better strategy has more...

Live Bait To Be Sure - Even though we have had some nice catches of trout and reds on artificial lures over the past few weeks, live bait is the absolute surest strategy. Live minnows or shrimp are available at all of the local bait shops. This week we had a tough time more...

Top Water Time! - Top water action has been good over the last week. We're catching some nice ones as they migrate into the marsh for the spring spawn. Most of the trout are in the 14 to 16 inch range, but we are getting an occasional 4 to 5 pounder. I had one on more...
