Mississippi Celebrates National Fishing and Boating Week with Free Days and Outdoor Tips

Mississippi is celebrating National Fishing and Boating Week with a series of activities designed to encourage outdoor recreation. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is highlighting the week as an opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy the state’s waterways.

From June 6 to 7, Mississippi will hold its annual Free Fishing Days, allowing people to fish without a license or permits at state fishing lakes and park lakes. The event aims to promote fishing as an accessible and enjoyable activity for all ages.

The department encourages residents to take advantage of the free days to try fishing, introduce someone new to the sport, or simply spend time outdoors. Throughout the week, social media channels will feature fishing tips, inspiration, and ideas for outdoor recreation. Participants are also invited to share how they plan to enjoy the water.
