Tunica Cut-Off

Featured Replies

Made it out to Tunica yesterday about 12:30. Man, this water sure has changed since last time I was there 2 months ago. Water was waay down and I beached it twice in areas way away from the bank. Good thing it is all mud bottom. Anyways, I was getting rather frustrated not getting a bite and look at my phone and its 3:59. Made the long haul back to the West end and it paid off. Bass were busting shad in 1 to 2 foot of water. I tried several things, spinner bait, plugs and flukes to name a few with nothing. Finally tied on a T-minus and they went crazy for it. From 4:45 to 6:15 I had 20 to 25 strikes landing several 2 to 3 lbrs. I kept coming back to this one point and there were 2 or 3 fish willing to hit there every time. I lost a 5 or 6 lbr right as it was getting dark in the same spot. I had busted the lip on my lure and grabbed a spare with rusty hooks. I tried to file them real quick, but in hind site, I should have changed them out. It might have got me that fish. Wanted to get back tonight, but was too busy today and I am leaving for Pickwick next weekend, didn't want to press my luck. My best outing on this water for sure.

Be careful if you head out!

The cutoff is low because the Mississippi fell below the negatives last week, therefore sucking water out quickly..... Be careful running on plane down there unless you know exactly where to go, and that might have changed since the big flood this year! Congrats on the trip and have fun at Pickwick next weekend!

Yeah... I cant believe how much it changes compared to other local water. I look forward to wetting a line with you sometime.

Thanks
