I fished Millwood and cought a 15 1/2 " crappy and partner who fished there for several years said too small to keep. it was the biggest one I have ever cought but since you are limited to 30 fish per day I released it we kept everything over 17" and got up to 19". We were bass fishing with 1/2 and 3/4 once rattletraps. What we were also after is the white bass which were between 3-4 1/2 pounds each. Even though I was an extensive fisherman my arms were so sore after three days of fishing we had to take a day off. Typical day 80-100 bass and limits of white bass plus I got the biggest fish I've ever landed there an 74" alligator gar a hell of a fight only got it to get my last rattletrap back ( I went thru 3 dozen of them ) could not find any at any bait shops even in Texarkana Cabela's. we came home with over 300# of fillets. Found a secret on white bass which are a very oily fish you take the filets and put them in SALT water and ice cubes in the fridge overnight and rinse them with fresh water in the morning before you put 2 filets per bag in the freezer. Best fishing day I've ever had from a guy whose been a charter captain for 15 years on lake Michigan and fished bass tournament for 19 years before I tore up both knees. 2 surgeries and 1 full knee replacement and this year I'm going to back on the water. I know it's a little bit of a drive for you but in the spring (late March early April I don't think you can find any other place other than Mississippi to get that kind of action. And the fish really taste GREAT. Hope you have a great time from the Capt.
