I have had pretty good luck going to Sardis. I have caught just about everything you can think of by using live bait ( yes including bass) i use worms, minos, and crikets. but i am far from and expert on this topic. I see your in Mississippi also , if you need directions to Sardis ( its not far from you) contact me by private message and i will do my best to get you there.

Gee, I've been thinking longingly about Crappie lately...absolutely great fun to catch them on a fly rod and this year I may even eat a few.

I've always had the most luck with Bass using nightcrawlers and patience. When it comes to artificials, most folks like the spinnerbaits but I've always had better luck with the regular spinners (colors matching local minnows and black) and the Rapala original floaters in local minnow colors.

That's Largemouth, by the way...there are Smallmouth around but I don't get to those waters very often.

Never eat the Bass...for all the money that people pay in taxes on the licenses and bait and tackle around here, I figure that they're worth more in the water than in the cooler...I've almost had arguments with people who've seen me release big Bass. One old guy once told me that Largemouth should be washed in milk before cooking to relieve the "muddy" taste...I had to take his word for it.

Now Walleye...that's another story...

Oh I know exactly how to get to Sardis. I go camping there every October.
