Morgan Point today (Pics)

I went to M. Point today and the water is still 5 ft. over the dam, but the water looks great. A lot of new structure to fish. I caught a lot of fish today, but not a lot of big crappie. I got into a school of white bass and caught them on every cast for probably 30 min. A lot of fun on an ultralight.
Only had 8 keeper crappie, and 2 bass and a bluegill. It was really windy today, but that made it tolerable with the heat today. The water should be down in the banks in about a week. The crappie were caught on chartruse jig and some on a chartruese roadrunner.

Todays catch.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial day.

Hey Harold, Morgan Point is an oxbow off the lower Arkansas river. You go east of Dumas to Pendleton bridge and take a right before the bridge and go down to the Wilbur D Mills Dam. The launch at M.P. is just before you get to the dam on the right. It's a good fishing lake, give it a try. Let us know how you do.
