The Biloxi Marsh is where we spend most of our time in the Fall. The water clarity and quality of fish make the Marsh an epic redfish fishery.

Redfish over 30lbs are common and we see Black Drum that are 50lbs or more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d910c6049e8b83153437dfe/1579358523816-L3XMP843GX0J4WPI3HX5/IMG_1028.JPG Louisiana What to bring: Sunblock, Appropriate clothing (SPF long sleeve shirts, gloves and neck-gaiters/buffs are advised), Camera, Non-marking soled shoes, Amber colored polarized sunglasses are a must, Any personal medication that may be needed throughout the day.
