Best fishing spots in Kiln
From Kiln, the nearest saltwater fishing is down the Jourdan River. Pete's Landing in Diamondhead, about 4 miles southeast, is a free city landing with a riverside fishing pier, restrooms and a kayak launch. It is at its best in late fall and winter, when speckled trout move up into the deep water near I-10, and after heavy rain it can turn up bass and bream. A freshwater license applies there.
Farther down, Cedar Point Launch, about 7 miles southeast, sits where the Jourdan opens into the Bay of St. Louis, and the Dunbar Street Pier, about 8 miles away, is a city pier with covered pavilions for trout and crabs.
