Sprawling across hundreds of miles on the state’s eastern coastline, the marsh is a veritable maze of islands, channels, and backwaters. Redfish movements and feeding patterns vary with the season, tides, temperature, and winds, which has led to many Louisiana guides to focus on particular niches.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Targeting Biloxi’s big, winter bull reds in clear shallow water is a must for any angler. Nowhere else in the world will you consistently have shots at +20lb redfish all day long, with 30lbers mixed in. Another key feature that defines the fishery is that these fish are unpressured and aggressive. While accuracy is extremely important, if you put your fly in front of a Biloxi bull redfish, chances are it will get crushed. Casts are usually short, meaning an angler new to flats fishing can get away with 20-40 foot cast and still catch plenty of fish.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">While fishing for winter is the best time to target big bull redfish, the Biloxi Marsh is a year-round fishery. Black drum, sheepshead --- known locally as “cajun permit”, and jack crevalle can be targeted year-round in addition to redfish. During the summer huge schools of migratory redfish can be found around the edges of the marsh. A single school can provide hours of non-stop action. Monster jack crevalle will also venture into the shallows this time of year. Hooking into one of these on a 9 or 10 weight can be an hour-long endeavour!</span>
