About Your Trip

Get ready for a next-level crappie fishing experience on Ross Barnett Reservoir with Captain Jason! Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing a personal best or a beginner looking to build confidence, this trip delivers the perfect mix of hands-on learning, laid-back fun, and serious slab-catching potential—all backed by top-tier gear and true Southern hospitality.

Captain Jason offers flexible trip styles tailored to your goals. Want to load the cooler with quality crappie? He knows the spots and techniques to make it happen. Looking to dive into the world of forward-facing sonar? His Livescope coaching trips are designed to teach you how to read the screen, interpret fish behavior in real time, and make precision casts that increase your odds. These advanced coaching trips are a great fit for anglers wanting to sharpen their skills and may be priced slightly higher than traditional outings.

You’ll have access to a full range of gear, including rods from 7'6" to 18', both baitcasting and spinning reels (left- and right-handed options available), and a mix of tackle that’s carefully selected based on the current bite. From custom hair jigs and soft plastics to live minnows, Captain Jason will rig you up with what’s working best that day—whether you prefer live bait or artificials.

Trips on Ross Barnett are perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking to enjoy a memorable day on the water. Beyond just catching fish, Captain Jason is committed to teaching anglers of all ages how to fish smarter, understand the lake, and feel confident on the water long after the trip ends.

While the goal is always to help you hit your daily crappie limit, remember—this is still fishing, and every trip is a new adventure. What’s guaranteed is a friendly, knowledgeable guide who treats every guest like family and gives 110% to make your day on the water unforgettable.

Whether you're here to relax, learn, or land that once-in-a-lifetime crappie, Captain Jason is ready to show you what Mississippi crappie fishing is all about.

I grew up in Mississippi on Ross Barnett. I love the outdoors. I have always hunted and fished. I have fished professionally since 2015. All tournaments, including American Crappie Trail Croppie, Masters, National crappie league and I started gardening because I like to see people’s excitement when they catch their biggest fish or their first fish to come take a trip with us. Let’s have fun.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
