This month, don’t overlook the excellent slab crappie fishing that awaits you on the “other side” of your favorite reservoir.
“The colder the weather, the better the fishing gets” is the way professional angler Kent Driscoll describes the crappie fishing behind the dam at Ross Barnett Reservoir.
The spillway that turns the Pearl River impoundment back into the Pearl River is a well-known hotspot for crappie anglers throughout the year. One reason for the magnetism of the area is the moving water spilling through the dam draws baitfish from the far reaches of the Pearl and also from the Ross Barnett impoundment itself.
“While it looks rough on the fish, coming through that spillway doesn’t hurt them one bit,” Driscoll said. “Both crappie and bait come through that spillway and create a great fishery on the other side.”
