A long time ago I lived in Olive Branch, MS.
We fished at Sardis quite a bit and did well. It's a great lake for bass and HUGE crappie. In rainy years, Arkabutla spillway used to be great for catfish.
If you can go north to Reelfoot, it is a fantastic lake too. It is also one of the most beautiful and scenic lakes in Tennessee.

I nominate Reelfoot Lake. There are small flat bottom boats for rent. some of the cabins offer special packages, too. I heard it's a great place to waterfowl hunt. You'll need to go there to check the place out. You'll catch crappie and gills and bass. I had hooked the largest bluegill in my life there. I couldn't turn him on my light action rod. Needless to say he got away. Bill Dance has made several catfish shows on the Mississippi River and on Reelfoot Lake. I don't remember the name of the guide he used on the Mississippi River. They caught some toad bluecats.
One word of caution, If you go to Reelfoot be very aware of the water moccasins. There are areas that have a lot of them. Check the boats before you get in them. The trees on Reelfoot are loaded with snakes. Most are nonvenomous. Just be aware and you will have a blast. Good Luck
