Tombigbee State Park Lake is drawn down for work on the beach area. The boat ramp is currently closed.
The 90-acre lake at Tombigbee State Park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1934-1938. Historically, the lake has boasted good bream and crappie populations. The lake has an overabundance of Largemouth Bass, and anglers are encouraged to harvest smaller bass.

Fishing Report
| Species | Detail |
|---|---|
| Bass | TOMBIGBEE STATE PARK LAKE IS DRAWN DOWN FOR WORK ON THE BEACH AREA, AND THE BOAT RAMP IS CLOSED. With bank fishing being the only option, try fishing along the vegetation on the margins of the lake with Texas-rigged worms, crankbaits, shakeyheads, or any shad-imitating lure. |
| Bream | No reports on the bream fishing this week; fishing around structure with redworms and meal worms along the bottom around points and brush could be productive. |
| Catfish | No reports on catfish this week. Try targeting catfish around drop-offs and laydowns using chicken liver and night crawlers. The bite tends to be the best in the evenings just before sundown. |
| Crappie | The crappie bite has been slow recently, but a few have been caught around vegetation adjacent to deeper water. Fishing around the piers with jigs and minnows may also be productive. |
