Best fishing spots in Moss Point

Moss Point fishes its rivers. Riverfront Park, under a mile from the middle of town, has a boardwalk out over the Escatawpa beside the city launch, and bait is sold at Wiggles on the marina. The Highway 63 Pier, about a mile southeast, sits under the bridge on the lower Escatawpa, shaded on hot afternoons and handy for crabbing.

Both swing with the river. After a dry week in late summer and fall, speckled trout, redfish and black drum move up from the Pascagoula; after heavy rain, catfish, bass and bream take over. The McInnis Bayou Pier, about 2 miles southwest, is a small rebuilt county launch where locals crab as much as they fish.
