: TIPPAH COUNTY LAKE: Crappie anglers are reporting a fair bite while trolling the main lake creek channel and also hitting the shoreline brushtops. Both jigs and minnows are producing. The bream bite has been fair around brushtops in 3-6 feet of water with wigglers being the best bait. The bass reports are still fair. Any brushtops have been holding bass, as well as the shoreline weeds. T-rigged plastic worms have been best baits. Others have been hitting mainlake points and creek channels with crankbaits and softplastics. Reported by: MDWFP |

| About: -
Tippah County
Lake first opened in 1974 and is one of
21 state fishing lakes operated by the
Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and
Parks. Known for its large shellcrackers
and good catfishing, the lake also contains
good populations of largemouth bass and
crappie. In fact, the current state record
shellcracker of 3.33 lbs. came from Tippah County
Lake, and the former state record
largemouth bass was also from Tippah. Three
handicapped access fishing piers located along
the shoreline and neatly mowed banks make
this lake a popular choice with bank
anglers. Presently,
there are no harvest regulations for any
species. However, statewide creel limits do
apply. Sportfishing licenses are required to
fish with the exception of July 4. Fishing
permits are also required.
