Thread: Tunica cutoff

With the carp in the cut off and the White at 23", I think I'd just cut the yard. The bank at Mossy and the one at lower Perish washed out (unless they have fixed it) and the river can run straight through East Moon. When the river goes down most of the water goes out of East Moon. It was a super fishery in it's day. All of the boat camps on the oxbows on the Mississippi here closed years ago within 30 miles in either direction.

I have a lot of great memories from those two places. I know they still catch fish in the MS. river oxbows their just not what they use to be and that is a fact, darn carp. However, I guess you could wear protective body gear, a catchers mask, put your head on a swivel, have one person on point with a shotgun, ready at all times when you start or run your big motor to shoot the pesky critters and go catch a mess at midway, Whitehall, tunica, Desoto, or any of the other great oxbows.

We as a group have camped at Tunica River Park. It has restrooms, water and electricity. Tables on a concrete slabs with a grill and covered.
Mosquitoes will carry you off if not enough spray is used.
We fished the cut off and river for a few days. The carp we boated at the cut off were cut bait on the river.

Isn't Whitehall closed to the public now???

I think the pay ramp is closed. I had heard that Fred which lived there and kept up the ramp and parking lot died. I don't know if its is legal to access the chute from the river or not.

Well, Gomer did you go to the cutoff?

I sure would like for some of you "experts" come down (Tunica, Flower Lake, Beaver Dam) & teach me how to push cranks!!
All I can catch are Gar & catfish! I have resorted to bream fishing! Can't even find a bass like days of old.
With the recent, late Miss River rise, I wonder if it's going to help or hurt our Oxbow fishing?
Also, I having been trying to "net" the Asian Carp all year & so far, have had very little luck getting enough to make a run to the processing plant! You know it's bad when you can't catch Carp!

There is a processing plant for them??? I'm bouta make some money now!!!
