Hot Summer Crappie Bite in Full Swing at Sardis and Enid Lakes
Crappie fishing around Batesville, Mississippi, is heating up as summer settles in. Sardis and Enid Lakes are producing consistent numbers, with anglers reporting solid action in both the early morning and late afternoon. The fish are transitioning to deeper brush piles and submerged structures as water temps rise into the mid-80s. Most successful anglers are trolling or spider rigging in 10–18 feet of water using small jigs tipped with minnows. Chartreuse, pink, and silver remain the hot color choices this week. Crappie are stacking up around timber and creek channels, and bites have been especially strong just before sundown. Weekend pressure is growing, so targeting less-fished areas during weekdays can increase your odds. Whether you're fishing from a boat or the bank, Batesville’s lakes are offering up quality slabs right now—just be ready to follow the depth changes as the temperatures climb.
