Best fishing spots in Pass Christian
Pass Christian's own spot is the city harbor, under a mile away on the beach front. Its public fishing pier, with two roofed shelters, runs out into the Sound from the west harbor's parking lot, and live bait is sold on both sides of the harbor. Speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead and black drum feed around the walls and pilings, and the deeper east basin holds fish after a cold front.
Across the bay, the Jimmy Rutherford Fishing Pier in Old Town Bay St. Louis is about 5 miles west, a long harbor pier for white trout and specks. Eastward, the Jim Simpson Sr. Memorial Pier at Long Beach, about 6 miles away, reopened in fall 2026 for croaker and white trout.
