Moon Lake

Decided to take a trip to the delta this morning to fish a lake I've never been to. I was lucky enough to fish Tunica quite a few times before things went south. I started to ask for a report yesterday, but figured the best reports are the ones gathered yourself. Fished from 9am until noon, wind woke up and so did the fleas, ended up with 8 or 9 gar and one white bass, lot of missed bites that I reckon were gar as well. I'm sure there are some nice crappie in the lake, but pulling cranks 8' - 15' deep in 20 to 22 foot water produced none for me. Thinking a different approach may have yielded better results. Maybe single poling around those docks and cypress trees perhaps. Seems pushing minners would be a nightmare with all them gar in there. Oh well, sure is some beautiful scenery though, I took some pics. The lake has lots of history, pre dating the civil war even. It was a trip worth while either way, even if no crappie caught.

There is nothing quite like figuring out new water. I have heard of some pretty fantastic reports coming out of that lake this spring. I have also heard that there is a group of guys making a big push to keep the lake off of the interwebs, lol.

Lol, well it's working!! There were only 4 other boats fishing on the lake. Think two of them were bass fishing.

Hahaha, I reckon so. Sure does look like a pretty piece of water.

Is there a bait shop there? Been thinking about making a bream fishing trip there just to look it over. Me and my dad caught some nice bream there years a go.

Thanks. Just wondering whether to get crickets before I go or get them there.

Good pics, Snubbys. Loved the oxbows 30 years ago when there was good fishin '. Still pretty tho.

I was raised about 10 miles from there. Used to be so polluted with farm chemicals you could not eat the fish..Glad to see it coming back some...

Great report Snubbys and awful pretty pictures.Commendable of you to break the mold and try something different.
Thank You Kindly
