Have the pearl river off the Natchez trace just north of Jackson, ms. Have Grenada lake about an hour or so north on 55. I live about 25 minutes off of 55. Used to live in Oxford where you have Sardis lake. How long you gonna be in Oxford?

Wednesday and Thursday for sure (maybe Friday). We'll probably hit the new cable park in Waco on the way. Playing it by ear right now.

overstreet31, you nailed it dude. That river was epic. Thank-you so much for the heads-up. The Pearl was glassy for days, and we had a great time. We put in just downstream at the ramp across the bridge. We're in Batesville right now. Should we try Sardis, Grenada, or go back to the Pearl?

Man I'm glad you got to hit up the Pearl. I love that river. I really wish I could get you in touch with my buddy in Batesville. We have a rail pond outside of there about 10 minutes away. Search on here for "662 rail pond" Ill try to see if I can get in touch with him for you. I would say try Sardis and hit the Pearl on your way back down south. There is a good cove that usually stays pretty buttery in the upper lake. I have attached a photo of its location for you. You will want to put in at Pat's Bluff Public use area or Coles Point use area (search for them on google maps). text me if you have any questions or need any more info. I'll pm you my number.

We hit up the lower lake on the picture above by mistake. What an epic few sets. Had the place to ourselves the whole time and glass between the island and the north shore... Thanks again!!!
