    Default Best crappie lakes near me


    I moved from Mississippi to Mangham almost 2 years ago and am wanting to start crappie fishing. I have a 12 ft Jon boat with trolling motor and fish/depth finder but no outboard so wanting to stay off big open lakes like Poverty Point. My original thoughts are baker cutoff, Crockett point, Turkey Creek, and Beauf river. Any information on best times and parts of these or other lakes will be appreciated. I can single pole, spider rig, or cast with jigs or minnows with my setup.

    Beouf will be muddy til May. Can catch them but need to be in a less muddy section. Bakers will be good in a month. Turkey creek is usually always fishable just bigger more wind issues

    You moved to a pretty dang good place if you want to be close to good white perch fishing. Woolen Lake is close to you and should be getting right, right now. It starts early there.

    Your boat is perfect size for Black Bayou Lake in Monroe also. They should be kicking off there soon. Its a beautiful place

    Crockett point has fish, and tons of stumps... I have a camp ten minutes away... Just haven't figured it out yet... Gets muddy in a hurry with any rainfall...

    If you look at Google Earth -- Just east of Columbia you will see Long Lake... Over 60 years ago two Ladies that lived next door brought home an ice chest full of Slabs fishing from the Bank while the Crappie were spawning using Cane Poles. we went with them on their next trip and they caught another Cooler full and we struggled to get a small stringer --- we were using poles that were 10 feet long and theirs were at least 14 and they could reach almost 10 feet further than we could ... they had several that would have gone 2 pounds each --- I was about 8 years old then and it was the first crappie I had caught in my life. I have never been back but I think about those coolers full of slabs and those two old Ladies that had such a PROFOUND effect on my life ....

    I looked at Woolen lake on google earth and realized I looked at a house there before I bought mine. Looks like I could park at Woolen Lake campground and start from there.

    My older brother had a house across the Lake from the Campground -- most of the lake is 10 feet deep with little structure.. Crappie will hug any twig on the Bottom
