*Aliceville Lake is part of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The MDWFP Fisheries Bureau manages the lake's fisheries resources and provides weekly fishing reports.
The second largest of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway lakes, Aliceville Lake is approximately 8,300 acres and 28 miles in length and extends from the Columbus Lock and Dam (Stennis Lock and Dam) tailrace to Aliceville Lock and Dam (Tom Bevill Lock and Dam).
Fishing Report
| Species | Detail | |
|---|---|---|
| Bass | The bass bite took a hit with the rain and cooler temperatures this past week, but anglers have reported success in the Coalfire and Rivermont areas. Texas rigged lizards and soft plastics have been the most used lure, but spinnerbaits, senkos, and flukes are also good choices for bass in transitional areas around points. | |
| Catfish | Anglers fishing below the Columbus dam and between Camp Pratt and Nashville Ferry have been having moderate success. Tightlining cut bait has been the most productive, and jug fishermen are doing fairly well too. | |
| Crappie | The crappie bite has also slowed down due to the weather, but fishing in backwater areas around Camp Pratt and Coalfire can still be productive. Crappie can be targeted in the same areas as bass. Jigs and minnows are the best bait to use, but use contrasting colored jigs in muddy waters. |
Giant salvinia is a highly invasive aquatic plant found throughout the Tenn-Tom Waterway. It is critical that anglers visiting the lake clean their boats and boat trailers to reduce the possibility of transferring this plant to other water bodies. Giant salvinia is extremely difficult to eradicate once it becomes established.
