I take it you are talking about Hattiesburg, Mississippi. There is a Lake in Laurel,Mississippi that is North of you that I here has some good crappie and bass fishing. A few years ago I worked in Laurel, Ms.and always said I was going to go to Lake Bogue Homa fishing but never did. Lake Bogue Homa is a 882 acre lake located in Jones County, 6 mi. E of Laurel on Hwy 84. For information about Lake Bogue Homa, please call (601) 425-2148
