Once you have purchased your Mississippi fishing license, you can start fishing for largemouth bass at a spot like the Ross Barnett Reservoir near Jackson or take the kids out to catch crappie on Grenada Lake. You will also need to read the current MS fishing regulations before you go so that you know the size limits and bag limits that apply.
Fishing regulations are put into place to help ensure that our fish populations remain healthy for future generations of anglers. Keep in mind that these laws will vary based on the time of year, the species and the individual waterway. Always check for changes or updates to the fishing regulations and laws each time you plan a fishing trip.
