Best fishing spots in Henderson Point

Henderson Point lies between Pass Christian and the Bay of St. Louis, with good piers about 2 miles away on either side. To the west, across the bay, the Jimmy Rutherford Fishing Pier in Old Town Bay St. Louis runs more than 1,000 feet along the municipal harbor; white trout are the steady catch, with speckled trout, redfish and flounder, and sheepshead on the pilings in winter.

To the east, Pass Christian Harbor has a public fishing pier, restrooms and live bait for sale on both sides of the harbor. The Washington Street Pier, about 3 miles west, is a short pier beside a launch for a quick early session.
