Overview

Fishing Pier on Biloxi Bay gives shore anglers access to the productive Biloxi Bay estuary from Ocean Springs. The bay connects with Mississippi Sound and contains a mix of saltwater and brackish habitat that supports many of the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s most popular inshore species.

Speckled trout and redfish are major targets, while black drum, sheepshead, croaker, flounder, and catfish can add variety. Fishing conditions are heavily influenced by tides, wind, salinity, and seasonal baitfish movements.

Fishing Tips

Live shrimp under a popping cork is a versatile Gulf Coast presentation for trout and redfish. Soft-plastic shrimp and baitfish imitations can also be effective around current seams and structure.

For sheepshead and black drum, concentrate around pilings and other hard structure using shrimp or other appropriate natural baits.

Bottom Line

A convenient Ocean Springs fishing pier providing access to Biloxi Bay and a diverse Mississippi Gulf Coast inshore fishery.
