Best fishing spots in Diamondhead
Diamondhead's own landing is on the Jourdan River. Pete's Landing, about 3 miles west at the end of Noma Drive, is a free city launch with a boardwalk and fishing pier, restrooms and an accessible kayak launch. In late fall and winter speckled trout run up the river to the deep holes near the interstate, and redfish, black drum and flounder feed along the banks. It lies just north of I-10, so a freshwater license applies.
Down at the head of the bay, about 3 miles south, Cedar Point Launch and the Dunbar Street Pier in Bay St. Louis fish the brackish water where the Jourdan meets the bay.
