Mississippi Fishing License

Mississippi anglers must comply with state fishing license and permit regulations in 2025, including the Recreational Offshore Landing Permit (MS-ROLP) required for landing reef fish like Red Snapper. The 2025 Red Snapper season opens May 23 and closes July 6, with a two-fish daily limit and size restrictions. Anglers must also follow licensing rules of states where they land their catch if fishing across state lines. This category provides detailed information on Mississippi fishing licenses, permits, season dates, and regulations to help anglers fish responsibly and legally. It also explains registration requirements, permit fees, and how the MS-CREEL program surveys fishing activity to support sustainable fisheries management.
