Bixby Soccer Fields

Has anyone ever fished the Arkansas by the Bixby soccer fields off of 151st? I'm going to several games over there Sat and thought I'd scout around.

That is one of the best spots for stripers and sand bass.

With the water level the way it is, I don't think we'll be able to wade fish for awhile. Hopefully, it won't be anything like last year, with all that running water 24/7.

Where is a good spot to access the river?

Which direction from the soccer fields is the best? Looking at Google maps it looks like there are some deep holes along the North bank.

From the parking lot, head towards the river and you'll see a path leading down to the river. As for where to fish, just start somewhere near your access point and head upstream towards the bridge if you even decide to wade that far.

I went around 2:30 Sat. Started fishing at the old bridge piers and walked downstream. Didn't get a hit one. Next time I'll try walking the other way. Lots of 4 wheelers on the sandbars...looked fun
