About: -
Kemper County Lake is a popular lake with bass anglers. Fifty-four percent of
the anglers during spring 2005 fished for bass. The average bass angler at
Kemper County Lake spends 1.2 hours to catch a bass. The catch rate at Okatibbee
Reservoir is similar, and the average time spent to catch a bass at other
agency-owned fishing lakes is 1.6 hours. Anglers kept relatively few bass; over
72% of the bass caught were released back into the lake. Anglers should not be
concerned that keeping bass will damage the fishery because harvest under the
slot limit is needed to produce bigger bass.
The lake is also making a
name for itself as a good crappie lake. More anglers are coming to the lake to
catch a meal of crappie. Last spring, 30% of the anglers fished for crappie.
Five years ago only 10% of the anglers were fishing for crappie. Fish attractors
have been established in deep water areas and nice crappie were caught around
them throughout the year. The average weight was just over half a pound during
spring 2005, which is slightly below the average for agency-owned fishing lakes.
Anglers from 10 counties were interviewed during the spring 2005 creel
survey. Lauderdale County anglers made up 29%, Neshoba 22%, Winston 21% and only
13% of the anglers lived in Kemper County.
