A new episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast is now available. Caleb Covington, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks’ State Lakes Coordinator, joins the show to share beginner-friendly fishing tips.
Covington discusses choosing the right gear, finding accessible fishing spots without a boat, and the importance of patience when fishing with children. He recommends a push-button spincast reel as the best option for newcomers and emphasizes that short fishing trips are perfectly acceptable for beginners.
Listeners can find additional beginner fishing resources at mdwfp.com/justaddwater. The episode is available to watch on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcaR5PgmFzw, according to the department.
