[dropcap]B[/dropcap]ass fishing along the brackish bayous and rivers will be more challenging during the warm July days. Make your time count this summer, and pick a good tidal range when chasing those “green trout”. The falling tide in the early morning or late evening hours will be a good time to try your angling skills. Our waterways are home to all types of watercraft–big and small. Fishing on the busy weekends should be done early in the morning to avoid the onslaught of party-goers and jet skis. The Pascagoula and Pearl Rivers will see less pleasure craft, giving ample opportunity to find calm water and hard-fighting bass. The main river, from marsh to the woods, will hold the majority of bait and bass. In the early morning, put the trolling motor in gear, and cover some water throwing walk baits like a Zera Spook and the fan favorite, buzz-bait. After the Sun rises, look for shady banks and slow down with Texas rigged, soft plastic, and topwater prop baits like a devil horse. The evening bite can be great after a summer thunder storm cools down the water. A rain event, followed by a falling tide, can result in big numbers of bass. Target wood, as well as points on the main river. If you find the two together, get ready!
Think safety this summer ,and slow down around other boats and tight river bends.
