Mississippi Fishing Report – Wednesday, May 23, 2007
Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Brian Cooper, Rick Plemmons, David Milsaps, and Robert Gibson all from Farm Bureau Insurance. Although the easterly winds blew relentlessly all day long, these 4 anglers from North Carolina fished hard boating 20 or so white trout and ground mullet, including a couple of really big specimens. Live menhaden caught in the small-meshed brill net fooled those big yellow-mouth white trout. Soaking baits on the bottom also resulted in some big gafftopsail catfish and stingrays, barbed and dangerous specimens, but great fighters on light tackle. The large yellow-mouth white trout pulled out of the deep channels of the Back Bay of Biloxi were extremely beautiful sporting their silvery scales and bright yellow fins and mouth. Mr. Gibson landed the largest white trout that added to the friendly fishing competition among the group. Before all this wind fishing had been great, but hopefully these strong winds will die off letting anglers get back to the open water reefs. Fish are there is the weather cooperates!
