What’s Biting Now and Where to Cast in Biloxi

Redfish and speckled trout are keeping inshore anglers happy. Early mornings have been most productive, especially around grass flats and oyster beds. Live shrimp under popping corks are working like a charm, but soft plastics on light jig heads are also doing the job. Look for feeding activity around the Biloxi Bay bridges and marshy cuts.
