Reel Fishin
Back in Black: Canoeing Black Creek provides beautiful fishing trip
More people canoe the creek than ever before, but you can easily get away from the crowds. Flowing through the heart of the Desoto National Forest, there is an often overlooked waterway that provides a challenging yet rewarding fishing adventure for anyone looking for something unique.

In September, Barnett starts to heat up
Ross Barnett is productive at any time of year for bass, but if you fish the early part of September and want to catch numbers, go upriver. If you don't mind getting fewer bites but catching bigger fish, go downriver toward the end of September. Two different patterns always produce bass for me during September on Ross Barnett. The early September pattern is a spotted bass pattern up the river. This pattern won’t catch really big bass, but you will catch numbers of hard-fighting fish. I believe the spotted bass fights about twice as hard as a big largemouth.

Get your crankbaits ready for fall
The author pulls 6 “short” poles from the back deck of his bass boat. The remote-controlled trolling motor completes this ideal cranking for crappie setup. Can you believe it? It’s time to find your bird shot shells from last September and beg your way onto a dove field somewhere. It’s tradition around here, you know. Labor Day and dove hunting announce to practically every Mississippi outdoorsman that huntin’ season is here.

Fish finders lower learning curve to speed bump
The Elite-5 DSI units also contain built-in GPS receiver/antenna modules compatible with an assortment of digital cartography. An external antenna is optional for boats that require them. Wandering the aisles at the annual ICAST show last month looking at next year’s fishing equipment, I realized that the convention is a window into the future in more ways than one. I’d heard about the new fish finders Lowrance was going to introduce, but their significance didn’t really hit me until I saw them running in the company’s booth.

Bass regs: One size doesn’t fit all
Jason Olive knows that bigger bass means more exciting fishing. Harvest regulations for bass vary throughout Mississippi, and they change with time. The largemouth bass slot limit was removed at Grenada, and 14-inch minimum-length limits were implemented at Columbus and Aberdeen lakes.

Rod wrangling for crappie
Look for Enid crappie to suspend off of major points near the creek channels in water from 20 - 24 feet. It’s hard to imagine what it takes to manage an 18- to 20-foot fishing rod anchored with nearly a pound of weight and possibly 2 or 3 pounds of hefty fish dangling off the end. Combine that with a boat moving at speeds up to 2 mph, and suffice to say that power trolling isn’t for the faint of heart.

Gear Grabber
Gear Grabber Most anglers have lures dangling from every ledge and piece of foam in their boat, but the Gear Grabbar provides an easy way to keep these lures on hand and easily accessible.
