22 Today 9/09...Moro Bay

went down to moro bay today and ended up with 22 nice sized crappie and 1 bream...caught 13 of them in the bay trolling a motor oil/ chart tube jig with a 1/8 oz pink head and 9 of them in the lower end of raymond lake trolling a hot pink tube jig with a 1/8 oz chart head...the fish were 6'-8' deep and the trolling speed was .8-1 mph...saw several big schools of bait fish moving in from the river.

You'll find one of the most popular fishing and water sport areas in south central Arkansas where Moro Bay and Raymond Lake join the Ouachita River at Moro Bay State Park. Park facilities include 20 campsites (five Class A and 15 Class B), picnic sites, a store, marina with boat rentals and gas pump, standard pavilion (screened), playground, trails, and the Moro Bay Ferry exhibit featuring a historic tugboat and barge.

Five cabins are currently under construction in the park. These rental cabins are scheduled to open in mid-September 2009. Each cabin is fully-equipped and features a great room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. These 1,100-square-foot cabins include an outside living area furnished with a picnic grill and table. One cabin is a barrier-free design to meet the needs of visitors with disabilities. They are located near the entrance to the park and all overlook the waters of Moro Bay.

The park is located 29 miles southwest of Warren on U.S. 63; or 23 miles northeast of El Dorado on U.S. 63.
