Shore Thing Fishing Report, 3/22/2023

March 22, 2023

Winds kept the boats close to shore this week, but that doesn't mean they didn't catch fish!

A nice redfish caught with Capt. Keith Crawford fishing out of Pass Christian Harbor.

The weather kept all of our boats near the shore this past week, but it was fantastic. Almost all of our crews have been Spring Breakers. The nearshore reefs, bridges, and old piers have been great for plenty of action.

Big sheepshead are still being found in Bay St Louis.

 
The majority of what we have been seeing is sheepshead, redfish and plenty of black drum. Those tasty smaller puppy drum have been the best thing going.

One happy spring breaker with a giant black drum.

 
Mixed in with all this has been the gigantic black drum. For our visiting guests, these 30- to 40-pound brutes have been met with rave reviews. On light tackle, these are an unbelievable fight.

Hopefully this week’s cold snap will be the last of the season. We hope the warm weather is coming to stay. The live bait has still been tough to get, but things should be getting better in the coming weeks.
