Brokenarrow, years ago I would cross into OKlahoma and be able to make my way to the red river \ Lake Texoma. The banks were nice and sandy and I always wanted to go back. Can you recommend a good places to do exactly what you are doing in your photo?
I was at Ft. Cobb in that picture, it's a great catfish lake but people jug it to death. There are lots of good public lakes down this way, Waurika and Ellsworth are really good for Blues as well, and they're all loaded with crappie. All the private ponds that I grew up fishing are either locked up or dried up.
