: Lake Ross Barnett: Water temperature is less than 70 degrees and the visibilty is over 40 inches. A 12.9 pound lunker was caught this spring on a Bomber crankbait. BASS anglers are catching lots of small bass. Best bait is plastics (worms and lizards). Some anglers are having good luck early and late fishing topwater. BREAM are biting good with most showing up early in the morning and just before dark. They have moved a little deeper so use crickets or redworms in water 4-6 feet deep tight-lining from the bank. CRAPPIE reports were few in number this week. Fish with minnows in water over 10 feet deep. Reported by: MDWFP |

| 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. |
