Hey guys, on my last trip I kind of struck out on gulf coast killies. Close to the shore there is nothing but Hwy 90, and I didn't see any river crossings there. Further inland there were no killies to be found, other than the usual notatus/olivaceous. Since I am planning to go back next weekend some guidance would be helpful. Any ideas?

I have'nt been there since the storm, so I don't know what access is like. Have you tried the boat ramp on the east side of the Pascagoula river off of 90? I think that would be a good place for killies. There is also some decent access to back bay, but I can't rember that road names any more. I think I will be head that way this weekend, I'm sure we can find some good spots.

Here are some killifish I caught in April along the coast near Houston. They were not hard to find then. Don't know what the populations would be like now. Any chance you would come this far west?

Dan, I for one won't be able to go that far west this year - this will problably be my last trip of the year. I'd love to go out that way, though. There's a fellow in New Mexico who has issued me a standing invitation and one day I plan to take him up on it.
Dred, what do you think would be a good rendezvous point? Harry is interested in making the trip, also a NFC member in Gautier named Brigitte and her boyfriend.

Irate,
I've done only limited brackish/saltwater collecting and haven't collected any needlefish or pipefish, at least that I've been able to identify as such. There have been several fish that I've been unable to identify as of yet.

I don't know if its open or not. Coming from the west on I-10 it would be the frist exit after you go over the pascagoula river hwy. 613 I think heading north. The you take the first (maybe) left and then another left (maybe). Anyway there is a boat ramp under the I-10 bridge, between the two lanes. If you make it off the right exit its not too hard to find.
