: Ross Barnett Reservoir: Bass fishing has been good. Try targeting bass in the back water pockets up river such as January Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and 5 fingers. The north seawall and plumbers slough in the bay are popular spots for bass as well. Search baits such as buzzbaits, poppers, Texas rigged black/blue worms, and spinnerbaits are good baits to start with . Crappie fishing has been fair. Crappie are holding in deeper water along the river channel north of 43 and around 3 trees and oil well. Bream fishing has been fair with with bream coming off beds on crickets and worms.

| About: -
Lake Ross Barnett is one of our best known big bream lakes. Large bluegill and
redear sunfish make this lake a popular attraction to anglers. In spring 2005,
the average weight of bream kept by anglers was 0.5 pounds. The average weight
in other agency-owned fishing lakes is 0.4 pounds. A high percentage (67%) of
anglers came to fish strictly for bream, and anglers kept 77% of the bream
caught. Small largemouth bass are numerous and anglers are encouraged to harvest bass that are 10-14 inches long. During spring 2005, bass anglers kept only 18% of the bass that were caught and the average weight was 0.7 pounds. This is well below the average weight for harvested bass in other agency-owned lakes (1.7 pounds). The majority of anglers (49%) during the spring of 2005 were from Smith and Covington Counties. Jones County anglers made up 16% and 10% were from Simpson County. The remaining 35% came from five other Mississippi counties and 4% came from out-of-state. There are 4 fish attractor buoys at this lake. Christmas trees have been placed around each buoy. These attractors are great places to fish for crappie in the cooler months of the year. |
