    Ross Barnett?

    Guys, I have been traveling to Mississippi for a couple of years now and have driven over the spillway at Ross Barnett a hundred times. The day is coming when I am gonna get out there and fish it. When is the best time of year and what can I expect to be throwing? I also hear it has a good populationj os spotted bass, any size?

    I aint fished the RBR much (two times ), but I've always heard you gotta go up the river a ways to get to the spots. Just south of the low-head dam.

    no doubt the spots are mostly up river. I dont fish for spots too much, truthfully dont know much about it. I've been told you can tear em up at times witha shakey head or a drop shot off the deep sandbars. I aint no pro by no means, holler sometime, we'll go look for em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Actually guys you can catch spots all over the rez. Up the river is a little more consistent bite on the spots but they will gang up on the river ledges out in front of Tommy's trading post in the summer. Heck I have even caught keeper size spots as far down in the lake as the dam. Fishing should really start to pick up by mid march all the way through November. Starting bout September if you want to go catch spots give me a buzz cause we can really smoke them on just about anything you want to throw.

    Re: Ross Barnett? (bigdog)

    Bigdog if you are very nice to me I might take you on a sight seeing trip up the river. No fishing will be done just riding. now I will point out a few places you might want to drop a lure if you ever find your way back there but that will be the extent of it. Then as far as the lake stay between the red and green signs and if you get out of them stop turn around and proceed back to them!!!!!!! There will be no tips on the big lake but I know a fellow who's kinda big like me and I think he runs a basscat and LOVES to talk all day long!
