Crappie Fishing Seasons in Mississippi with Hall’s Guide Service

When and Where to Catch Crappie Across Grenada, Enid, and Sardis Lakes

Mississippi is a prime destination for crappie anglers, and with Hall’s Guide Service, you’ll have access to three of the top crappie lakes in the country—Grenada Lake, Enid Lake, and Sardis Lake. Crappie fishing is productive year-round here, but the best times to catch big slabs depend on the season. Spring (March–May) is peak spawning season, ideal for shallow water wading trips. Summer (June–August) moves fish deeper, making boat fishing with electronics or trolling most effective.

Fall (September–November) brings cooling temps and aggressive feeding behavior, a great time for both novice and experienced anglers. In winter (December–February), slower presentations and live bait tactics shine as crappie school up in deeper structures. Captain Kelon Hall adjusts each trip based on the current seasonal patterns to give you the best chance at a limit of slabs. Whether you want to explore the flooded timber or target fish with Livescope, Kelon’s got you covered.

No matter the season, each trip includes expert gear, live bait, and boat or wading options tailored to the conditions. Hall’s Guide Service helps you make the most of Mississippi’s premier crappie fishing waters, offering insider knowledge and hands-on support that benefits families, beginners, and seasoned crappie chasers alike.
