Thread: Oxbow Feshing

Yellow with a red back, 200 Bandit, anything bright yellow more so than char with so red on it seemed to work. had a lot of players too, no telling how many times we changed baits.

Rees, I am new to the site and know very little about crappie fishing or crappie in general. I am a MS Coast native and always fished saltwater. I bought some land a few years ago just North of Belzoni MS that has an old lake on it. The lake is approximately 40 -50 acres, the lake is mostly around 5' deep with a few spots being 8'-10' deep. It has a good catfish population due to old commercial catfish ponds draining in it with some bass and bream, but I have not caught any crappie in it yet. I am not overly concerned about stocking the lake with crappie and them overpopulating the lake due to the current amount of predator fish in the lake (Grennill, Bass, & Catfish) as well as a big flock of Cormorants roosting and feeding in the lake. The lake does not go dry in the summers and has a good cypress tree poplulation, but with the lake mainly being around 5' will crappie survive? Any info would help, thanks.
