Look up Wapannaca Wildlife Refuge. It is in eastern Arkansas but it is full of big Bluegills and Redears. There is a website. Near Wapanacca is Island 40. Island 40 is a narrow old Mississippi River channel, Also, but a bit farther, are two terrific oxbow lakes when the river leaves in the Spring. One is Midway lake, otherwise know as Council Lake. The other is Whitehall Old River, otherwise know as Old Walnut Bend. They are both south of I-40 near the river.
Also, if you get a wild hair and go to NE Ark. cross the river and visit Reelfoot!
Tight Lines!

Is Island 40 still open and if so open to the public? I fished there as a kid about 30 years ago and I just moved back to Memphis.

Is Dacus still around too?
