Presidents’ Day is coming up soon and while the traditional cherry pie is a common staple, there are about as many ways to celebrate this holiday as there are presidents. Many of them have been avid fishermen. If you want to follow in their footsteps, FishingBooker, the largest online platform for finding and booking fishing trips in the world, has got you covered. The platform recently released its list of the best fishing destinations for Presidents’ Day 2023. The Secret Coast came third!
Why did The Secret Coast make the list?
On Presidents’ Day, your main targets along the Secret Coast will likely be sheepshead, big redfish, and black drum. Close to shore, you’ll also encounter speckled trout and flounder, providing anglers with some more variety. You can find charter captains all along Mississippi’s coast, but the biggest hubs lie in Biloxi, Gulfport, and Pass Christian.
While you’re likely to spend your Presidents’ Day trip fishing the inshore marshes or the barrier islands, going offshore is possible provided the weather serves you. The deep waters are a year-round home to a variety of bottom fish. Furthermore, if you can get to one of the oil rigs, you’ll also have a shot at yellowfin tuna.
