About the Seasons 

Spring:  March, April, May

As the weather begins to warm, the fish move into shallower water and become very active.  Large specks and reds aggressively hit top-water lures during these months.  Of course we will still be throwing cocahoe jigs and using live shrimp, cocahoes, or mullet.  Bass and flounder are also caught in large numbers during these months. 

Summer:  June, July, August

With average temperatures in the 80's and 90's, these months produce great shallow water fishing.  Redfish can be caught all day long in the lakes and bayous on all kinds of live bait and lures.  Shallow water speck fishing is outstanding in the early morning and late afternoon.  This is also a great time of year for bass fishing with buzzbaits and spinnerbaits or live shrimp.  During the summer we will use live menhaden (pogy fish) to catch specks, reds and flounder.  These oily minnows are irresistible to the big trout and reds.

Fall:  September, October, November

Speckled trout are very active as they follow shrimp up river and into the bayous.  This time of year we will likely be watching for flocks of seagulls to locate the trout.  These months produce great top-water action.

Winter:  December, January, February

We have very few extremely cold days in South Mississippi, so don't shy away from this time of year.  Many serious speckled trout fishermen only fish in winter because the trout bunch up in schools and migrate to deeper holes where they are easy to catch in large numbers.  We will be using a lot of cocahoe jigs, rattletraps, and Mirro-Lures for our artificial lures, and will have live shrimp and either live cocahoes or mullet.
