The West Pascagoula River is a pristine waterway located in southern Mississippi that flows through Jackson County before emptying into the Mississippi Sound. As part of the larger Pascagoula River system—the largest undammed river in the continental United States—it provides diverse fishing opportunities throughout the year. The river system includes numerous interconnected bayous, marshes, and channels, creating a rich ecosystem that supports both freshwater and saltwater species. Known for its relatively natural, undisturbed state, the West Pascagoula offers anglers a scenic backdrop of bottomland hardwood forests, cypress swamps, and coastal marshes, particularly in its lower sections near the Gulf of Mexico.
