What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're out on a calm Ridgeland lake, the morning mist just lifting off the water. Captain Garrett's got you set up with light tackle, perfect for feeling every nibble and fight.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this trip, you're not just casting and hoping. Captain Garrett's all about teaching you the tricks of the trade. For bass, you might be working soft plastics along submerged timber or dancing a topwater lure across a quiet cove. When it comes to crappie, get ready to master the art of vertical jigging or slow-trolling with live minnows.

It's like a real-time fishing lesson with instant feedback!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass are the heavyweight champs of Ridgeland's lakes. These bucket-mouthed brawlers can top out at over 10 pounds, and they're known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights. Spring and fall are prime times to target them, but Captain Garrett knows how to find them year-round. They love to hang out near structure - fallen trees, weed edges, and dock pilings are all prime bass real estate. When you hook into a big one, hold on tight!

Crappie, on the other hand, are the pan-sized prizes that'll keep your rod bent all day long. These tasty little fighters travel in schools, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. They're especially active in the spring when they move into shallow water to spawn. Crappie have a light bite, so staying alert is key. But once you get the hang of it, you might just fill the livewell. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like a fresh crappie fry after a day on the water!

You'll see structures, fish movements, and even your own lure in real-time. It's like playing a video game, except the fish are real and the excitement is off the charts!
