re: Shell Beach / Hopedale Report

Are you looking to fish specks or reds? If you are content to fish reds go into the Biloxi Marsh(Muscle, Pete's Lagoon, Cutoff Lagoon, Brick Lagoon,etc. If you are looking for specks, your boat is better for the fall, but you can run fairly protected waters out to Lake Eloi and fish over the oyster reefs. Halfmoon Bay is another option. You could also try fishing the "four way" where La Loute meets St. Malo. Good luck.
