Gulfport Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Gulfport
It's winter time and shrimp fishing has been very productive for sheepshead, black drum, and redfish! But even with the water being freezing, sheepshead keep the action rolling! It gives all of the other species, like trout and snook, a break till it warms up!

Scott with the cold snaps the sheepshead are moving in on docks and rock piles along with some mangrove snapper and key west grunts. On the warmer days in the afternoon between fronts the snook will come out and feed with some reds mixed in. Trout are feeding in some of the deeper grass flats and canals

This colder weather has pushed the snook and jacks into the rivers and creeks. Redfish continue to be found near deeper channel edges/docks. Some black drum have started to show up while fishing with live shrimp around structure as well as pompano while fishing for trout on deeper grass edges.

Fishing has been on fire lately both nearshore and inshore. Nearshore trips have been producing steady action with hogfish, multiple species of grouper, porgies, gray snapper, and mackerel, while inshore fishing has been just as productive with solid grouper, mackerel, trout, redfish, and snook showing up consistently. Conditions have lined up perfectly, the bite has been strong, and it’s been a great mix of variety and quality fish across the board.
