Fishing

A fishing pier overlooks the Davis Bayou channel that leads to the Mississippi Sound. Fishing is also allowed on The Barrier islands.
A Mississippi State Fishing License is required.

The following persons are exempt from obtaining recreational licenses:

Any Person under the age of 16
Residents 65 years of age or older
Residents who are adjudged totally service-connected disabled by the Veteran's Administration or 100% disabled through Social Security.

Any resident person exempted from obtaining recreational licenses must have with them at all times while fishing a valid driver's license and proof of social security disability.

Call the Department of Marine Resources at 228-374-5000 for current license fees if you are a nonresident.
