I grew up in Horn Lake, MS and fished Sardis and Arkabutla lakes all the time and the former poster is correct. For most the really great "honey hole" action someone will probably have to show you in person. Most of those type of spots are out of the way and hard to even give directions too.

Highway 51 running north from oxford, MS has an unbelievable amount of fishing areas all the way north to Nesbit. Arkabutla lake; a reservoir of the Coldwater River is known for its large crappie, Some of the creeks running into Arkabutla right off of highway 51 have produced Bass consistently over 10lb to 16lb and large channel and blue cats and some of the largest huge Slab Crappie you can catch anywhere in America.

But, and not to discourage you, you will probably need a local to find the "secret spots" in the backwoods of northwest Mississippi.

But there's tons of great small ponds as well as reservoirs where you will catch many varieties of fish. This part of the country has some of the best Bass, Crappie, Bream, and Catfishing anyone could ask for.
