Crappie
Crappie fishing near Prentiss, Mississippi, is a favorite pastime, and Lake Jeff Davis is a prime location to target these tasty panfish. The lake's numerous submerged brush piles and standing timber provide excellent habitat. Spring is the best time, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Use light tackle and small jigs or minnows under a bobber to target crappie around these structures. During the summer, crappie tend to move deeper, so try fishing around submerged timber in 10-15 feet of water. A local tip: many anglers have success spider-rigging multiple rods with different jig colors to find what the crappie are biting on. Lake Jeff Davis is known for producing good numbers of crappie, with some reaching impressive sizes. Check local regulations for creel and size limits before you go. The lake is well-maintained and offers several boat ramps for easy access.
