Cajun,

I highly recommend the river. I tried Herrington last week and the water is brown and fishing was very slow. Wednesday hit the river and had plenty of action on a small crankbait-spotted bass, smallmouth, white bass, and plenty of drum in the 4-6 pound range to keep things hopping. Water is much better quality on the river than Herrington right now and there will be probably 100 fewer boats on the river as well.
