Fishing Report
| Bass | Angling traffic has been very slow at the lake recently. The bass bite has been slow, and anglers are targeting the deeper points and the creek channel using Texas/Carolina-rigged plastics. Jigs and crankbaits should also be productive in these areas. Tippah County Lake is bass-crowded and anglers are encouraged to keep a limit of bass. |
| Bream | The bream bite has been slow this past week. During recent fall sampling, bluegill were holding tight around any woody debris. Worms or crickets fished around cover should get some results. |
| Catfish | Few anglers are targeting catfish right now. Tippah has some big channel cats that are always hanging out in the same spots when we conduct our fall electrofishing. Laydowns and woody debris along the bank hold these fish year after year. Please go catch them, one has only one eye and we catch him every year. Tightlined nightcrawlers, chicken liver marinated in garlic or kool-aid, or stinkbait should work. For the flathead bite, try fishing at night with live bluegill off of points and along the dam. |
| Crappie | A few crappie have been caught recently, but the bite is slow overall. Try fishing around brushtops and along the creek channel. Minnows and jigs are the best lures/baits to use right now. |
