Thread: Okatibbee Ramps and bait

Your easiest place to launch will be at the dam

Only bait shop I know of is the one on the east side of the causeway, bout a mile and half after you cross it but there may be another one.

You don't need any bait

Just use jigs and nibbles.

SteveJ; What type of nibbles do you use at Okatibbee. And do you make your okatibbee special jigs or do you buy them.

Want to say a special thank you to Joey for all the information that he gave me he sent me locations of the dam locations of bait shops and gave me some ideas of where to fish I caught a limit of crappie. my first of the year. Thanks again what you went above and beyond

SteveJ has a fishing partner that ties his jigs for him. Also takes his fish off and sometimes puts his nibbles on. Lol

Never been over there
Where is best place to launch to spider rig
Is there a bait shop
Coming from Jackson

We normally use Collinsville Landing and spider rig along the creek channel which would be about 100 yards out from the landing. Theres a store south of Collinsville, Brown's Store, that sells minnows. Also Graham's Store, east of the lake sells them. We tip jigs with pink Power Bait Crappie Nibbles. If you use a Garmin in your vehicle I can post coordinates.
