Catch bass at Bay Springs
In September, we’ll go to Bay Springs Lake, which is a clear, deep lake with good-sized largemouths and spotted bass. And since it’s not a very-big lake, it’s much easier to pattern. […]

Plenty of ways and places to catch August bass at the Rez
Just like everywhere else in Mississippi, August is a very tough month to catch bass on the Rez. […]

Cool, well oxygenated water
In July, bass are looking for cool water containing plenty of oxygen. I’ve picked Pickwick Lake to fish because the hydroelectric plant at Wilson Dam will be generating power and creating plenty of current that’s very oxygenated. […]

Big bass potential at Lake Okhissa
Lake Okhissa near Bude is my pick for catching bass during May. Okhissa is a relatively new 1,000-acre lake that’s producing big bass in May, since the bass are coming off the spawn and are feeding heavily and aggressively. […]

Best bet in April
April is the month when both the spotted and the largemouth bass move to shallow water in Bay Springs Lake located near Booneville. They’re easier to catch this month at Bay Springs than any other month of the year. […]

Bassing at Bogue Homa turns on in March
You’ll find Bogue Homa Lake just a few miles out of Laurel, where I live. The fourth year of a lake being stocked is when you start catching bigger bass, and this will be about the fourth year for Bogue Homa. […]

Bass run big at Pickwick
In February, you can catch some really big largemouths and smallmouths on Pickwick Lake in the northeastern corner of the state. Toward the end of the month, the bass will start staging to move into the creeks and up on the flats for the spawn. […]

Pet the Panther for big January bass
When I pick a place to fish, it’s because I know where the bass in that lake will be holding at this time of the year, and the lures and techniques that will make them bite. […]

Target Pickwick in December
Pickwick Lake in the northeastern corner of Mississippi is one of the best cold-weather reservoirs in December. I often catch 40 to 50 bass a day there. […]

Maynor Creek for November bass
During November, we’ll be fishing 500-acre Maynor Creek, located just outside of Waynesboro, where numbers of big bass live. […]

Bet on Bogue Homa this month
Restocked about four years ago, Bogue Homa Lake is really producing a lot of bass, with a few weighing 5 to 7 pounds. Bogue Homa is about 1,000 acres with plenty of grass, lily pads and cypress trees, as well as well-defined creek channels with stumps sitting in them. […]

Get shallow in September for Ross Barnett bass
The bass are moving out of their deepwater summer patterns and into shallow water in September. Two patterns — fishing the riprap and the lily pads — will work all month, but they’ll probably produce better in the middle and at the end of the month. […]
