Before you go

A MS fishing license covers this water. The state agency sets the rules and is the one that counts.

Questions people ask about Biloxi

Answered from the same readings as the rest of this page. Where we have no basis for an answer, there is no entry — spot-by-spot local knowledge is not something we can claim for Biloxi.

Is it worth fishing Biloxi today?
7 out of 10 — biting. Worth a cast. The strongest stretch is 12:30 AM–2:30 AM. That number is worked out fresh each morning from the solunar windows, the pressure trend, the water level and the water temperature.
What time should you fish Biloxi?
Today's major windows run 12:30 AM–2:30 AM and 12:55 PM–2:55 PM, with minor windows at 6:46 AM–7:46 AM and 7:55 PM–8:55 PM. Sunrise is 6:23 AM and sunset 7:40 PM. A major landing on first or last light is the stretch worth setting an alarm for.
What is the water temperature at Biloxi?
87.6°F, read at 3:30 AM from NOAA CO-OPS station 8747437. That is 1.6 degrees cooler than 24 hours ago.
What is the water level at Biloxi right now?
1.112 ft above MLLW, read at 3:30 AM from NOAA CO-OPS station 8747437. Over 24 hours it is down 0.09 ft.
Can you eat the fish you catch in Biloxi?
That is a health question and it belongs with the state, not with us. MS publishes fish consumption advisories through its health or environmental agency, and those are the ones that count. We give no eating advice.
What size fish can you keep in MS?
It depends on the species, and several have slot limits rather than a simple minimum. Open to harvest today: spotted seatrout (speckled trout), red drum (redfish), flounder, sheepshead. Seasons here change mid-year by agency order, so the status is re-checked every morning.

Where these numbers come from

The nearest CO-OPS station is Bay Waveland Yacht Club, about 19 miles west in the same Mississippi Sound — usable, but tide and temperature read as approximations here. The Biloxi River gauge upstream adds freshwater-runoff context.

No one types these in by hand. If a source goes quiet, the page says so instead of showing you yesterday.
