Fishing Report
Tippah County Lake - 9/18/2023 11:47:25 AM| Species | Detail | |
| Largemouth Bass | Very few anglers have been available for reports. Topwater lures are working fairly well, but jigs, crankbaits, and Carolina- or Texas-rigged worms will also be good options. | |
| Crappie | No current reports on crappie. Jigs and minnows are good choices. | |
| Bream | Bream fishing has been fair. If the fish aren't bedding, look for them to be around cover near bedding areas. Tippah Lake is known for having large redear (shellcrackers), so tightlining with worms should be productive. Otherwise, it's hard to beat a cricket, redworm, or earthworm under a cork. | |
| Catfish | The catfish bite has been fair. For flatheads, fishing with live bream at night is a good option, but don't overlook the large channel cats that are in the lake as well. Fishing with liver, worms, or kool aid flavored chicken around brushtops or other structure should be productive. | |

In January of 2020 and 2021, MDWFP personnel sank donated Christmas trees in Tippah Lake. The brush piles are a good way to upcycle leftover Christmas trees and create fishing hot spots.
