5 Great Places to Cast a Line in Mississippi This Spring and Summer (Plus Two Bonus Picks)
SUMMARY: Growing up fishing with my dad in Mississippi evokes cherished memories, and spring and summer are ideal for fishing outings. Mississippi offers diverse fishing spots, including the Pascagoula River, known for largemouth bass and catfish; Sardis Lake, famous for crappie; and Gulf Coast piers with various saltwater catches. Enid Lake is a springtime favorite for crappie, while Okatibbee Reservoir offers laid-back fishing for bass and catfish. Bonus spots include Lake Bill Waller for trophy bass and Paul B. Johnson State Park’s Geiger Lake. Fishing here is a beloved tradition and a great way to enjoy Mississippi’s outdoors. Don’t forget sunscreen!
