Bay St. Louis Kayak Fishing

I fish that area all the time out of a kayak. There's lots of areas of oysters that hold fish almost year round. Start around the bridges, near shore, and work towards the middle. I prefer the East side of the bay and there is a great launch just south of the car bridge on that side. From there, you can also easily fish around the train bridge and a lot of old piling. I can only divulge so much information about those spots. Definitely a great area to kayak fish as it's an easy paddle to several good spots. The NE corner of the bay has some decent marsh area to fish as well.

There are plenty of public number reefs in the Bay made up of Katrina bridge rubble. Throw a cracked crab out there and the Sea Moster Drum will pull your kayak around for as long as you want. You can't eat them, but they're fun.

The RR bridge usually has a nice mix of reds, trout, and puppy drum. But not so much in the summer. I think the water gets too hot at some point and the middle of the summer is pretty dead.

I am sure there are some spots back up the river where you can catch some reds in a kayak. The only experience I have with the Bay is fishing with Shore Thing Charters with my kids when it is too rough to run anywhere else. You might want to check with Sonny and see if he can give you some tips. He and Matt are super nice guys.

Paddle out to Taylor Reef and fish there.

Yea, but...adventure.

That's where the folks I know are fishing right now. It's doable. And you could fish the whole thing before heading back. People are pulling up some nice fish there.

Are those the rocks southwest of the RR bridge? They were jam packed with boats when we were coming back from the Biloxi Marsh Memorial Day. I've fished them before on the way out, just no clue what it's called

do you ever fish Half Moon Island? We pass it in route to where we fish in the Biloxi Marsh and I've always thought about stopping on the way back just to check it out

I have never fished half moon but i know some that fish it - if the pearl river is up the water tends to be pretty fresh and can get dirty.
