Fishing near Ocean Springs, Mississippi

Look for Ocean Springs in the Jackson County part of Mississippi. The town has the road links to reach several counties quickly. Start close and work out: Graveline Bay the better part of 8.0 miles, Farrigut Lake the better part of 12 miles to the east with Moon Lake the better part of 13 miles. Woods Lake is the plain first choice: find the weed edge, then work the drop behind it. The year runs unbroken. Plan round the sun, not the calendar. There is more than one sort of water within reach. Where two depths meet, work the seam between them. Graveline Bay is the near option, about 288 acres in size. Open records for Jackson County list bluegill, longear sunfish, nile tilapia, flathead grey mullet and largemouth bass. The water round the town is mostly natural, not held. Anything you fish here counts as Jackson County water, so read the county rules first....
