Hello, anglers!
Welcome, 4 new inhabitants of shoreless Blue Crab Island in Mississippi.
- The first one on our list is Shoal Bass, cousin of the Bigmouth and Smallmouth Bass. This indigenous freshwater inhabitant of the southern part of the USA, easily recognizable by its colorful body and aggressive behavior.
- The second one is Bigmouth Buffalo. One of the biggest species in the Catostomidae family, native North American freshwater fish, mostly known for its giant size and its long lifespan. Despite being mostly planktivorous species, it easily could be caught on sports gear. So choose the right bait and good luck!
- The third one is American Gizzard Shad. This small-sized, extremely fecund and gluttonous member of the herring family serves as a feeding base for many freshwater predators. But due to the enabling environment of the Blue Crab Island, it has grown to a very impressive size and catching fish more than 1 kg is not so rare. Although American Gizzard Shad feeds mainly on plankton, here in the south it also willingly bites! Arm yourself with small hooks and the same small nozzle - and you are guaranteed success!
- Last but not the least interesting fish species is the Black Drum. This giant inhabitant of the sea depths, well known as the largest of all the drum family. Its behavior is very common to his close relative Red Drum, and you need to look for it in approximately the same places.
