“Drop your jigs or minnows down in beside these stumps and
trees. You can either just float around with the waves, or main-
tain boat control with your trolling motor moving along at a
slow pace. If you hook a fish, then work that area thoroughly.”
Wind can dictate where to fish on any given day, and, thank-
fully, The Rez’s layout provides safe haven for most any wind.
A south wind puts a lot of boats along the main dam in March
(pre-spawn) and April (spawn). The riprap there attracts and
holds fish. The Northshore Causeway roadbed and riprap offers
the same situation on east/west winds.
Crappie anglers on Barnett use jigs with minnows in tow and
also spider rigs with jigs. If the water is dingy use bright jigs. If
it is clear, then try darker colored jigs including black.
Other crappie structure on Ross Barnett includes a lot of float-
ing aquatic vegetation such as lily pads. You can fish shallow or
deep, but work over the riprap cover and the ledges. You’ll find
Barnett a pleasant lake to fish if you stay away from the skiers
and jet craft.
Mississippi is proud to receive the recognition of having three
prime lakes as being tops in
the country for crappie fish-
ing. Why not start planning to
fish them this year to cash in
on these recommendations?
Just stock up on oil for frying
fish. You’re going to need it. ■John J. Woods has
