MS River oxbow fishing......

Got out Thursday and hit up an oxbow for the first time this year. Been waiting for 6 months for the river to get right. It finally reached the level I have been waiting on but its back on the rise again so its a good thing we went Thursday. We put a 50 spot on em and caught some nice fish to. You never know what you will catch in these oxbows either as we caught black and white crappie, largemouth bass, striped bass, drum, catfish, gar and carp.

Nice work Handi. The dang river just refuses to get right and stay right this year.

Very nice.

Just a small rise forcasted hopefully a big fall starting next week !!!! Our oxbows are still a little high. Good box of fish.

Sweet!!

Very nice. I'm ready for the river to get right!!

Hope you are right. I'm hoping as soon as this rise happens it will fall back out pretty quick. If it will ever get right it will make for a great fall.

Attachment 130360Nice catch Handi! I went too, but didn't fair as well.

who's the gewber tryin to imitate me ?

BroHarrel, I can see why you didn't catch as many. The fish you were fishing for were smarter. See those 3 reading the news paper. Ain't no doubt they don't need any more schooling. Look at that one, he's reading about the Handyman. They had heard the rumors and weren't planning on being caught.

Nice mess Handi. Broharrell, I guess we were at the wrong bow. Bro - Dont give up when that river gets down it is going to be some good fishing.

I will give it another try when it gets "right". Gotta lot of critters to use up!

You better have a bunch. Handi didnt mention how many he went through. I went to were he was Saturday and lost 12 to the gars.

Hey billy I am trying to come with one that's gar proof! !! if you need replacements let me know !!!!

Nice catch, it's been several years since i've had any luck on the ms river

Will do Jerry. Those fish love them "minner critters"
