Before you go
A Mississippi fishing licence runs $25 a year for residents. MDWFP sets the rules and is the one that counts.
What a Mississippi fishing licence costs, and who is exempt → The days you can fish Mississippi without a licence →What you may keep
MDWFP sets a size or bag limit for 54 species here — 51 with at least one area open today. Where a species is open in one water and closed in another, its own page says which. Each page carries the agency's own figures, the date they were read, and what is still unsettled.
