Marsh & Bayou’s
Fishing Forecast
Mississippi
Coast

There’s nothing better than having a routine. Whether it’s a
morning work routine, or an early morning fishing trip routine, both
can make the day a lot easier. Finally, it looks like the chaos is behind us. Bite patterns are becoming more consistent which means
more fish in the boat.
The speckled trout and redfish action has been incredible lately
along the entire
coast. Flounder
are beginning to
show themselves
along the beach
front. Inshore
and offshore reefs
are holding large
speckled trout
and big numbers
at that. The barrier islands are
becoming the latest and greatest
hot spot. Each
morning boats
can be found
stacked up
around the Bird
Cage and South
Bayou. The grass
beds are producing big numbers of trout, especially for those wade fishing.
Matrix Shad’s nightreuse and pink champagne have been the best
preforming colors. Using a popping cork or tight lining a jig have
both been effective. With the influx of shrimp moving into the
area, Egret Baits Vudu Shrimp has also been a hot bait. The top
water bite has slowed up a little over the past few weeks, but is still
effective before sunrise. From the current action, it looks like this is
going to be one of the best years in a while. Tight lines!
