Brown Water Banter

In this episode we talk with Patrol Captain Mike Strickland and Biologists Eric Giolio from the Department of Marine Resources to clear up some of the biggest questions Mississippi boaters and anglers have about what’s legal, what’s not, and what people get wrong once they hit the water. The conversation covers boating safety, no-wake zones, fishing licenses, and how DMR’s role ties into both conservation and enforcement.
🎣 What Mississippi anglers need to know about licenses, trout, redfish, and offshore regulations🚤 Why boating and water safety take priority during the busiest times of the year⚓ How no-wake zones, anchored boats, and common on-the-water mistakes can get people in trouble🐟 Why red snapper rules confuse so many people and how state versus federal seasons affect what you can legally bring in📊 How Mississippi is working to improve fisheries data through programs like MS Creel and better track what anglers are actually catching
This episode is packed with useful information for anyone fishing or boating on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and helps explain the rules in a way that actually makes sense.

What is Brown Water Banter?

Fishing, hunting, and life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Brown Water Banter is a long-form conversation with the charter captains, biologists, business owners, and local characters who actually work these waters — from Bay St. Louis to Pascagoula, and everywhere between. Snapper season and DMR regs one week, the guy who built a music venue inside a church the next. No script, no polish, just people worth listening to. Hosted by Jared Seymour and Joey Cates. 360+ episodes since 2018.
