I don't have the experience with central AR lakes that is certain, but I will say that fishing one of the MS COE is a definite for the anyone's bucket list! Grenada seems to be hot this year sometimes it is Enid, Sardis or Arkabutla. Some of the biggest and healthiest fish I have ever caught. I'm addicted to fishing there that is for sure, it has caused me to get a bigger boat and spend money on gas! Haha!
