W
hen it comes to crappie fishing, Mississippi
takes a backseat to no other.
Just look at Fishhound.com, a popular
industry website. On its latest list of the Top
50 crappie lakes, the Magnolia State has the No. 1
hotspot, Grenada Lake, and two others in the Top 10,
No. 5 Sardis Lake and No. 6 Barnett Reservoir.
It doesn’t stop there, either. There’s No. 11 Pickwick
Lake, No. 13 Enid Lake, No. 17 Lake Washington and
No. 19 Arkabutla Lake.
That’s seven out of the Top 20, over a third of the
waters included.
Fishhound.com based its choices by surveying indi-
viduals in the fishing industry as well as many of the
top crappie anglers in the country.
Slab State
Mississippi is home to three of the
Top 10 crappie holes in the nation.
Here’s where you need to fish and
how to put together a box of slabs.
