Gulf Island National Seashore Fishing Reports (July 2026)

Have no fear the sheepshead’s are here!!! I know it sounds like a broken record but we are waxing them BIG sheepshead!! Pretty bunch every trip has just been catching all they can handle!! Pinch of live shrimps drop down beside some barnacle infested structures and hold on!! Lord them 9 10 11 pounders know they can battle!!! I like a good game tug of war!! Who don’t?? We are catching quite a few black drum a trout or two and a flounder seems to jump in the boat bout every trip!!! Let’s go!!!

With the cold fronts that are starting to move in every few days it is pushing these big sheep head into the bay Biloxi we are fishing on bottom using live shrimp fishing around the bridges and piers

String stretching!!! Man we are whacking them sheepshead!!! That Biloxi bay fishing whipping sheeps is fun yeah!!! Stretched strings bent rods & drag screaming action for sure!!! Couple days was EVERY cast!!! The Biloxi’s back bay is one of the fishiest places along the gulf coast for sure!!! That fresh pinched dead shrimp dropped w/ a lil weight on a barnacle incrusted structure has been the ticket!!! It’s been typical winter fishing lately the 5 fish that are most common to our water is speckled trout, flounder, black drum, red drum & sheepshead very few if any trash fish. So...

As we approach the end of the year that's certainly not the end of fishing. Here in Biloxi Mississippi we fish all year long. Winter fishing can provide some good fish. The redfish, black drum, speckled trout, flounder and more are still around. As we move into January and February and the water cools off even more we should start seeing large Sheepshead around the bay and around the offshore Barrier Islands. Plan your fishing trip today.

As we move into the winter months, we tend to see more Sheepshead, black drum, redfish, speckled trout and flounder. We fish all year long here in Biloxi. While there's not a large variety of species to catch, the bite is still pretty good. If you're looking to escape the cold hard winners in the North consider Biloxi for a fishing destination!

Caught some nice cobia out around the island as they are migrating back through!!! inshore bite whitetrout and sheepshead are on fire everything is looking normal for October salinity up waters cooling down and all the fish are feeding up!!

After The Big Rains!!!!
Inshore bite was bad just for a couple of days after the end of August monsoonal rains.... Had a few catches of blue cats and bass down the bay.... The bite and the salt water bounced back very quick tho and it’s been strong since..actually we’ve had no rain since that last week of August!!! The water is nice and salty now!! Sheepsheads showed up a lil early when the salt water came back. Some biggins too!!!! A large nice variety of fish-flounder, speckle trout, black and red drum etc...Still a lot of different fish in...

Fall is on its way. With that, it's usually awesome fishing for redfish in Biloxi Mississippi. October is normally one of the best months to catch slot Reds in the bay and bull Reds around the Barrier Islands. With the water soon cooling off the action will surely heat up. Biloxi Mississippi is the place to be for some of the best fall fishing.

Despite the rain, we've been staying busy on the water. We caught many snapper this season and now looking forward to reeling in some red drum, triple tail, and sheep heads.

The recreational Mississippi state for hire Reds Snapper season has reopened as of Friday, Aug. 12, 2022, and will close once the annual catch limit (ACL) is projected to be met. Only state for hire Charters and recreational fisherman can fish the state season. We fish up to 9 miles south of the barrier islands. The season is projected to stay open through the fall months. This would be an excellent time to catch some beautiful Red Snapper.
