I checked out in February 2022.

“Spend a six-hour trip aboard a fishing boat. During the winter season, the reefs close to the coast are the primary target. Redfish, black drum, and sheepshead are the piece de resistances, with speckled trout and go to pieces as understudies. Some dining establishments will prepare your catch.

Pro Tip: “Buy a Coastal Mississippi Attractions Pass, which supplies admission for one to 10 location destinations. The pass comes directly to your phone, prepared to utilize. Attractions consist of the Biloxi Lighthouse, the interesting Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum, and the Pascagoula River Audubon Center.”– Roxie Yonkey
