Ocean Springs Fishing Weather & Tides

Fishing Ocean Springs

Ocean Springs faces Biloxi Bay from the eastern side, and it is the rare coastal town where the galleries and the boat traffic get roughly equal billing. Davis Bayou and the marsh behind town make excellent flat-water paddling — protected, shallow, thick with wading birds — while the bay and the bridge pilings across it hold speckled trout, redfish, flounder and black drum. The front beach road puts walkers and cyclists on the water without anyone needing a boat. Fishing runs essentially year-round here because the Sound stays warm, though winter fish pull into the deeper bayou holes and summer afternoons belong to heat and thunderstorms.

Local tip: Expect a small tide, often a single high and low, and expect wind to move more water than the moon does on most days. A light southeast breeze fills the bayous and turns the bite on; a strong north wind pulls them down until the shallow paddling routes are too skinny to float.
