Beardslee Lake near Moss Point: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Jackson County, Mississippi, is where Beardslee Lake sits. This is warm green lowland ground. With some 196 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Size puts it in the front rank of our Jackson County list. You are 1.1 miles from Moss Point. The big place round here is Mobile, 35 miles distant. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Beardslee Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The tide is the timetable on this water; two hours either side of the change usually fish hardest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, longear sunfish, largemouth bass and spotted gar. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. At Beardslee Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 81°F at the top of summer and 51°F at the bottom of winter. The year runs unbroken and warm. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Beardslee Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Blue Lake sits 3.7 miles off and takes the overflow.
