| About: -
Simpson County Lake has produced several trophy largemouth bass in recent years
including a whopping 13 pounder in February 2005. During spring 2005, the
average bass kept by anglers weighed 1.6 pounds. The average weight for
harvested bass in agency-owned lakes is 1.7 pounds, putting Simpson right up
there with the best of them. Unfortunately, anglers only took out 16% of the
bass they caught. Over the last few years, bass anglers are harvesting fewer
bass. This trend must change, or the bass population will overpopulate, growth
will slow and the average size will decrease. Bream anglers made up the majority of anglers (74%) during spring 2005. Anglers harvested 82% of the bream that were caught. Crappie anglers should enjoy the deep water fish attractors that have been established and marked for anglers to easily find. These attractors are loaded with Christmas trees and serve as a hot spot for anglers and provide habitat for most all fish species. Simpson County Lake is heavily used by local anglers. Sixty-seven percent lived in Simpson County and Rankin County residents made up 16% of the anglers. Several fish attractors have been established in the lake to create fish habitat and a hot spot for anglers. Approximately 200 Christmas trees were added to the sites in January 2011, and most attractors are marked with buoys. GPS coordinates for the fish attractors: N 31o 54.886' W 89o 47.393' N 31o 54.976' W 89o 47.500' N 31o 54.819' W 89o 47.632' N 31o 54.757' W 89o 47.565' N 31o 54.886' W 89o 47.393'
