About Mississippi River
Mississippi River cuts through Louisiana, United States and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Mississippi River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Red drum
When fishing structure, cast upcurrent and let your bait naturally drift down.

Crevalle jacks are often found schooling, so if you catch one, keep fishing the same area. Vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers strikes.
- For Sand seatrout
When fishing for sand seatrout, try using a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to entice strikes, especially during low light conditions.
