hello all. I have not posted on this site for several years. everyone probably thought I had passed on, but I,ve managed to male it to 84 years and still kicking. enough of that. was wondering if any of the delta boys have tried Bee Lake lately?

Have not heard much about it which means fishermen are more tight lipped than fish. And not real sure I know where it is. Seems like public access has been very limited last few years.

I wanted to Bolivar yesterday but I was helping most of the day with DNow at our church.

the lake is on U.S. 49 E at Thornton between Yazoo City and Greemwood. There are two concrete ramps on the lake. One of the ramps is behind a store, which most folks use. Ownership of the store has changed since the 2011 flood and has run down quite a bit, but the ramp has stayed in good shape. owner of the store charges a fee

Glad to hear from you, and that you’re still kicking!

I went to Bee Sunday. There was only one car at the landing, which is always a bad sign. Used to be cars lined up and down the highway when the parking lot was full and fishing was good. Anyway, I spider rigged in all depth water and all I could get to bite was gar. 10-20 lb range. Must have hooked 30. They would tangle 2-3 of my poles at a time. After 3 or 4 hours of this, I said the heck with it and left. My son and I used to catch the mess out of crappie there, 2 man limits of 60 this time of year. I used to love that lake, but seems it has changed.

I was afraid that would happen to such a good lake. thanks for the reply. I was hoping for something different.

Some years ago. I saw a boat on Mathews Brake with an unusual frame in front and electrical elements in the water. It had an electric generator running. I knew in seconds that was illegal. I asked them about it. The man in charge said they were with the state. They were trying to catch alligator gar to transplant in Bee to control the carp. When Bee flooded carp from the river got into it. Carp ruin crappie habitat. That's why there's so many gar and few crappie. I don't know if Bee will ever come back. Perhaps not in our lifetime.
