Kemp is usually the first lake in the watershed to get smacked with golden algae. Because of the lakes high natural salinity, it was a darn good striper lake in the 80's and 90's until the algae hit it. Killed practically all of the fish and about the time it would recover, here's another outbreak. It is close to the Dundee Hatchery and I heard (hearsay, no verification) that if they had fingerlings left over, they'd put them in Kemp. It has some 6-10 lb stripers in it now if you can find them and yes, the catfish are back. Don't know about largemouth. As far as fishing there, there are almost no facilities, no bathrooms,etc. There is a decent boat ramp on the Moonshine entrance. The Waggoner Ranch had a longstanding sweetheart deal with the State controlling access to Kemp and it costs you an arm & leg to get in...and it's getting worse with the new owners.
