The Gulf Coast—near Gulfport and Biloxi—offers some fine inshore and offshore opportunities for anglers in Mississippi. Several fisheries, like Tippah County Lake, Lake Monroe, Holmes County Lake, and Calling Panther Lake, are managed as state fishing lakes, which of course means excellent fishing. Bay St. Louis is a popular spot among beginner and sport fishers alike, offering many access points, as well as boat rentals and docks.
