You're a little bit too far south of my honey hole.

But what I would if I were you is to head out to the main river channel. It makes a bend towards the mouth of Little River at the central island, which should have a white diamond sign on it. That's where I would start.

Best bet is to use two rods set for different depths. Have one rod with a split shot and hook, and let it down not much deeper than 8 ft or so with a night crawler - it's usually a sure thing for the 1 lb. blue catfish this time of year, which tend to school up in the upper part of the water column.

Now for the other rod, I would take a 3 way swivel, and tie about a 1/2 oz. or larger bell sinker on a leader to one, and a leader with a crappie minnow and hook on the other. The size of the weight kind of depends on how strong the current is. The idea is to bounce the rig lightly on the bottom while trolling or drifting over different depths. Usually between 15 and 20 ft is best this time of year. I've caught blues up to 35 lbs. doing this. If you come across some stumps in that depth, along the edge of the main river channel, it should hold a big one or two. Sometimes you'll get into some sauger doing this as well, which will readily eat that crappie minnow. Plus, if you do find stumps like that, there's a good chance bass with be hanging around too.
