Looks like I’m going to be working in Gulfport in late August. AT LEAST IT WILL BE WARM…………. 😎 I could probably wet a fly early morning before work starts in the surf. Anyone familiar with Gulfport MS at all have any fly recommendations? Will it be TOO hot to even try?
You might have some fun fishing the surf around the Biloxi beaches with ultralight rods, I don’t really know. But there is almost sure to be some inshore wade-able fishing for reds/specs within a reasonable distance. I would talk to every local tackle shop you can find and use googlemaps, etc. There are plenty of fish near Biloxi, so there’s fun to be had… creek and river mouths, etc…
Water on the beach is very dark and short of something that makes a ton of racket or dipped in gulp juice you will just be practicing your cast. If you can make it to ship island on the head boat you would probably catch some seatrout, lady fish, reds. If have a boat or kayak then your luck increases exponentially. I don’t fish much this time of year as it is too damn hot and stresses the fish if intent is c&r.
Chartreuse works everywhere, black and purple in dirty water, and I have caught some nice trout on red and
