Fishing Report

Kemper County Lake - 5/24/2023 3:33:03 PM
Species Detail
Largemouth Bass The bass action has slowed a little with the warmer temps. Anglers are still getting results cruising the shoreline and fishing the points. Weightless soft plastic jerkbaits are a good shoreline option and Texas-rigs and jigs are good choices off the points. Natural colors are always a good bet at Kemper for soft plastics.
Crappie No crappie reports have come in.
Bream For bream, anglers are targeting deeper shoreline cover and primary drop-offs with cover. Tight lining worms and bobber fishing with either worms or crickets are popular approaches that will get some bites.
Catfish Target catfish along primary drop-offs where cover is present. Tight lining liver, worms, or cut bait is the most popular method for catching them. The levee is a good place to look for some active catfish.
