Oxbow lakes
Anybody heard good crappie reports after water started falling ?
All the reports I have heard have been bad from Natchez to Vicksburg.

I don't know what has happened, ecologically, but none of the Miss River fed lakes have been very productive for the last several years. Could it be the 2011 flood? I'm not the only one to observe this phenom. Folks who fish more different Oxbows & more often than I have observed it also. I'v been fishing the River fed Oxbows for 60 years and never seen it this slow for sport (bass, crappie, bream) fish. Could it be the Gars, Asian Carp? Anybody have a link to any recent "Fish Inventory" data? I'd like to compile a comparasion chart for the last 15 years.
Anybody remember Moon Lake back in the 1950's? There were trolling boats galore!! Some held as many as 20 people. You would pay for a spot on a boat & they'd take you out!! Or the "Pay to Fish" Piers? Then the Lake died, nothing!! I hear it's come back a little tho..
Looking for thoughts, inputs, theroies, explanations here, Please!!!

Are you as healthy as you once were? Neither are the oxbows. Eutrification and sucession have matured them.
Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

I think the decline has been too rapid for it to be sucession. The decline seems to coincide with the drastic increase in the Asian carp population.

It took me 4 1/2 hours to drive to the south end of Tunica saturday, usual a 35 minute trip. The Battles area area looked like camper city. The day park was full. Very few were at the cut off. I wore my MSGO cap and was asked where was the ammo. There were bikes from all across the US, met some good people. Had dinner at Shirley's house and had a 6 hour drive home.

All us locals laid low or left town! Wonder if they made any $$? I'll bet we coulda sold some fresh fried Asian Carp & called it Buffalo!
