Was talking to a guy today at New Albany that was telling about a 80-100 acre lake somewhere in the Prentis/Alcorn county area calling it Hurricane watershed . Anybody heard of this ?

Yessir, when I had a smaller boat I used to fish there some, if thats the one I’m thinking of. Had a little store and a concrete boat ramp they charged a few dollars to use.
Caught some nice bass and bluegill there, but never the first crappie.
Can’t think there aren’t any, just couldn’t figure it out.
Off Alcorn county road 400, NE of Rienzi

Members met and fished Davis Lake years ago. Lots of bass a few bream and catfish, no crappie. It's on CR 124 east of New Houlka.
LOTS OF SMALL CRAPPIE THERE. ACTUALLY WAS A GOOD PLACE IN THE 70'S . GREAT BASS LAKE . ITS IN CHICKASAW CO.Quote:

I've fished hurricane a few times and it has plenty of crappie. The only problem is the average is small. I've heard a few stories of big crappie coming from there but not my experience. Watch out for the stumps in the edge of the trail coming out from the ramp to open water. It is a shallow watershed for the most part with lots of vegetation in places. No cost to launch of boat the times I went. That store had been closed down for years looked like
Thanks Bigyeti for the reply.
Guess if you like small crappie that would be the lake along with Davis to fish. 30 might make a meal.
Davis is a good bass lake . There was a 16 lb. caught and hung in Clays bait and tackle in tupelo . Such a shame that Clay died of covid the initial round . To make ends meet he began selling bbq at the store and thus "Clay's house of pig" was born . Clay mounted that bass for someone who could not afford to have it done . It was to hang in store till the guy could pay him for it a little at a time . Great man gone way to early .
When I fished there a lot years ago, pre drain, they had a lot of hybrid stripes in there. Was told it was an attempt to control gizzard shad.
Those dudes could wreck some crappie tackle! I was a side puller at that time and used small baitcast reels. A hybrid pulled my ex-wifes thumb up under the crossbar when it hit and she tried to thumb the spool [emoji23]
I hear now they have put walleye in there. Limit of one per day. Almost makes me wanna go try it again just for that!
