Crappie anglers visiting Caledonia, Mississippi, will find several appealing freshwater options. The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and its associated lakes and backwaters are prime crappie habitat. Spring is the peak season, when crappie move shallow to spawn. Target brush piles, submerged timber, and creek channels with jigs or minnows under a bobber. Fall can also be productive as crappie school up before winter. A local tip is to explore the smaller oxbow lakes off the main channel of the Tenn-Tom; these often hold overlooked crappie populations. Public access is available at multiple boat ramps along the waterway. The crappie in this region are known for their relatively large size, so you have a good chance of landing some slabs!
