The Mississippi Gulf Coast offers diverse fishing opportunities throughout the year. The waters around Gulfport provide access to both inshore and nearshore fishing grounds where various species can be targeted depending on the season. The region's mix of bays, passes, and Gulf access makes it a versatile fishing destination.
During summer months, anglers often focus on species like speckled trout, redfish, and flounder in the inshore waters, while the Gulf offers opportunities for Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, and various bottom species. Fall and spring transitions bring their own unique patterns, with many game fish actively feeding during these periods. Captain Ben stays attuned to these seasonal patterns, adjusting techniques and locations to maximize your chances of success.
