About Ross R Barnett Reservoir
Ross R Barnett Reservoir sits in Mississippi, United States and offers the kind of structure-driven reservoir fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube.

Most successful trips to Ross R Barnett Reservoir come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Blue catfish
Target areas with current breaks and structure, like submerged timber or ledges, as blue catfish often ambush prey in these locations. Use a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish, as blue catfish are likely to be nearby.
- For White crappie
Target submerged structure like brush piles and docks; crappie relate strongly to cover.
