Redfish

Biloxi State Wildlife Management Area - St. Bernard, LA

How were the fish after the snow?

Went out to look around after the snow and low temps we had to see how the fish were affected. Hopedale, Shell Beach, and the Biloxi Marsh are blessed with some deep holes and canals for the fish to hide from dropping water temps in. I did not see the number of dead fish I expected to. It was a pleasant surprise to see!!! Went and casted a line just to check and see. Caught 4 reds right away and decided not to bother them any further. In my opinion, the fisheries in the area I charter escaped any major fish kills and should be great this year.
