Bogue Homa Lake, an 882 acre lake six miles east of Laurel, is tough to fish in the summer. This relatively shallow lake has cypress stumps, cypress trees, stringy grass, lily pads and several channels running through it. […]
In September, often our state is often experiencing very hot weather, as we have this past summer. However, toward the end of the month, we might start getting some relief from the heat. […]
I love to fish lily pads, which provide both shade and cover for at Ross Barnett bass, in August. Ross Barnett features many underwater stump fields in shallow water where the bass can hold, which is where the baitfish and the bass will be. […]
I like Pickwick in July because the bass will be schooled-up, holding on the river channel. As long as the current’s running, you can catch bass all day. […]
This month bass should have completed spawning, be moving out of the lily pads and toward their deepwater summer patterns, and schooling in and on the edges of the lily pads, as well as in open water. […]
You can load the boat at Pickwick Lake this month with bass, if you’re not too choosy about what type of bass you want to catch — largemouths, smallmouths and spots. […]
March is the prime month for catching big bass in Mississippi. Bass at Calling Panther Lake, near Crystal Springs, will be in prespawn, spawn and postspawn conditions. This relatively young lake has some trophy size, double-digit bass.
Bogue Homa near Laurel is a very good lake for finding and catching bass in February.
The bass there become aggressive because they often spawn at the end of February, so they’re gearing up for the rigors of that time of year. […]
January is a good month for fishing riprap at Ross Barnett Reservoir. Those rocks capture heat from the sun and transfer it into the water, so baitfish and bass will hold close to riprap. […]
The bass at Bay Springs Lake near Booneville can be found in many places during December, which is a transition month. The weather and water temperatures will be your best indicator of where to find the bass.
Pickwick Lake will be drawn down 6 feet for the dam to be repaired, making the lake level at 408 — the biggest drawdown in about 30 years. […]
Calling Panther, one of the newer lakes in Mississippi, produces good numbers of 10-12 pound bass. The lake has some vegetation, ideal structure and topography for great fall fishing and a good population of bait fish. There’s not a more exciting way to catch a bass than watching the bass blow up on topwater lures. […]
