Crappie
If you're after Crappie around Oxford, Mississippi, look no further than Enid Lake. This reservoir is renowned for its healthy crappie population. Springtime, when the crappie move shallow to spawn, is undoubtedly the most productive time. Target submerged brush piles and creek channels using minnows or small jigs under a slip bobber. As the water warms up in summer, crappie will retreat to deeper, cooler waters near the river channel. Try spider-rigging multiple rods with different jig colors to find what they're hitting. A local tip: the Highway 51 bridge area is a popular and productive spot, but it can get crowded, especially on weekends. Consider exploring the upper end of the lake near the creeks for less pressured fish. Enid Lake crappie are known for their size, so be prepared to catch some slabs!
