Fishing near Pascagoula, Mississippi

The Jackson County town of Pascagoula sits in Mississippi. The town sits far enough out that the banks stay quiet midweek. First the close ones: Blue Lake reached in 1.9 miles, Beardslee Lake reached in 3.8 miles to the north then Bangs Lake reached in 5.3 miles. If the wind is up, Beardslee Lake gives a sheltered corner on one side or the other. The year has no closed cold stretch. A hot spell pushes fish deep and early. What you get here is lake fishing. Slow water beside fast water is the place to be. Blue Lake, the closest, runs to roughly 6 acres. Blue Lake has mapped parking, which saves a long carry. Records from the surrounding area cover flathead grey mullet, spotted gar, redear sunfish and redspotted sunfish. The nearby water is mainly natural, with soft margins and weed. Start with Blue Lake and work down the list as the season goes on....
