Located within the Golden Triangle of Northeast Mississippi, this month’s Mississippi crappie hotspot is none other than Columbus Lake. Referred to by the locals as Possum Town Lake, Columbus is impounded by the seventh of 10 locks along the Tenn-Tom Waterway.

The Tenn-Tom Waterway forms a 234-mile-long, 300-feet-wide-by-9 feet-deep transportation artery connecting West-central Alabama and Northeastern Mississippi. Although created and maintained by the United State Army Corps of Engineers as part of a commercial shipping artery for the Southeast United States, Columbus for the most part has managed to slide under the radar as a nationally recognized top-notch crappie lake.
