For those looking to venture further offshore, Gulfport's nearshore reefs are teeming with Cobia, Red Snapper, and various Grouper species. A full day on the water is recommended to get the most out of this experience. For those seeking a challenge, longer trips of 12+ hours offer the opportunity to battle world-famous big game species such as Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Billfish.

Inshore enthusiasts will enjoy hitting Biloxi Bay and other inshore waters nearby, or even heading to some of the barrier islands a little ways from shore. Redfish and speckled trout can be found in so many of the different environments Gulfport has to offer making it one of the best places to catch a giant..

Gulfport Nearshore Fishing

With so much easily accessible nearshore water, Gulfport has amazing nearshore fishing for cobia, kingfish, and amberjack. Trolling the nearshore waters around Gulfport is exciting with an explosive bite possible at any moment.

With the bonus of being delicious, these three fish are definitely worth a trip!

Further out, Gulfport has access to an abundance of local reefs that are teeming with fish. This area is known for incredible red snapper trips where anglers often catch their limit. Snapper season is federally regulated but usually will start in early June. Gulfport is one of the top spots to catch red snapper and is guaranteed to make for a memorable trip.

Heading offshore, you'll want to head out to some of the many oil rigs that dot this part of the gulf. Any rig is a haven for fish of all kinds, but the further out you head the better your odds of catching a monster. Make it out to the "floaters" (oil rigs that are attached to the bottom, but float since it is so deep) and you'll have an awesome shot at some quality yellowfin tuna.

These islands are about 35 miles off the coast of Mississippi and are part of the Breton Wildlife Refuge.
