In the fall and winter redfish move well into south Mississippi's coastal rivers. This fine specimen fell for a freelined live shrimp in the Tchoutacabouffa River.

Otter Creek
Although the water was very low everywhere and reports were dismal, I hadn't river-fished in a long time, and needed to wet a line. We found this stretch of Otter Creek near Danby, Vermont that looked nice, which has some good pockets and seams where fish hang out. Within a half hour, both my bother-in-law and I had both hooked up and landed a fish each. For the next three days, this was all that we would see.

Crappie fishing in South Mississippi's coastal rivers isn't known for catching big numbers, but then again it only takes 2 or 3 fish per angler for a great meal. Plus, the rivers are simply gorgeous!
This photo was recently published in The Sun Herald's "South Mississippi Outdoor Sunday" page (Sunday-February 1, 2009), along with a story about croaker fishing I submitted. Croakers are excellent eating! When an afternoon speckled trout trip went bust, we broke out the light tackle bottom rigs, and proceeded to quickly put 40 nice croakers in the box. Photo by Capt.
