Fishing in Mississippi

We don't read a water in Mississippi yet — the next wave adds more. What we do have is what the state lets you keep: size and bag limits for 21 species, in MDWFP's own figures.

Before you go

You need a Mississippi fishing licence to fish here. The state agency sets the rules and is the one that counts — we haven't written up Mississippi yet, so go to the agency directly for costs and exemptions.

What you may keep

MDWFP sets a size or bag limit for 21 species here — 21 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.
