Had Mr Kevin and Mrs Shani out with us today. We started hammering them when we dropped the trolling motor and never stopped until we had a boat limit. We had the jenko rods working today. The bite is on fire and it will just get better. Give us a call or text to get on the books. 662-554-2146. 662-791-9359.
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.
We started out with a bang this moring and never stopped. We had the limit by 9 and we released over 30 keepers by 12:45. Special time of the year when they start the fall feed up. Give me a call or text to get on the books and fill the cooler. 662-554-2146.
