Ross Barnett Reservoir

Tip of the week: 
Techniques: 

Fish around the docks and piers for crappie and bluegill. Target shallower areas close to bank and structure during early morning hours and late afternoon hours for bass moving in to the shade. Also fiish for bass in heavily weeded areas. Vary retrieval and sink rates to find where in the water column the fish are. Fish the Tungsten Jig Buggers under an indicator to pick up panfish. The fish have been very active and aggressive on top as of late. Weed beds are producing. Bream have been caught lately in the early morning close to the bank with overhanging limbs.

Seven-day forecast: 

HOT! The summer is here and this is when the fish will go deep. A small chance of rain for the next couple of days but giving way to sunny skies after Wednesday
