Biloxi, Mississippi - Saltwater Fishing Report
Mississippi Sound & Ship Island
Saturday-August 8, 2008
Today I had the extreme pleasure of guiding Casey and Amanda Wood of Texas, as well as their 5-year-old son Ethan to a non stop fish catching morning.
First stop was at the Katrina Reef where they immediately got into a hot bite of sand sea trout a.k.a. "white trout" and southern kingfish a.k.a. "ground mullet".
By 9 o'clock this Texas trio boated 140 of the tasty bottom dwellers. Offered them a chance at Florida pompano, and the were eager to take a shot at the silver-hued exotics.
However, it was a good call, and Amanda had the hot hand by landing two beautiful pompano, a couple of incredible hard fighting specimens on light tackle. Casey lost a fine fish too, but lost it on a wild junping spree made by the speedy gamester.
Ladyfish were plentiful too, and provided plenty of bonus light tackle fun. With a box full of fish we decided to call it a day, and were back at the D'Iberville Marina by noon.
Just another wonderful day of fishing in south Mississippi. Hey, the fishing is great so come join in on the fun.
Regards,
