Fishing in Mississippi

Mississippi's extensive reservoir system and river oxbows make it a top bass fishing destination. Sardis, Grenada, Enid, and Ross Barnett reservoirs all produce trophy largemouth. The Mississippi River provides excellent catfish, crappie, and sauger. The Gulf Coast offers red snapper, flounder, and inshore redfish action.
