All of my fishing experience is in Missouri and Tennessee. I've read all of the discussions about places I need to try in Arkansas, but was curious about some of the lesser mentioned places. This is primarily because I'm trying to come up with some places to fish between getting off work in the evening and sunset.

That being said any comments on Frierson, Ashbaugh, Mallard, Big Lake, Portia Bay, anything close to Paragould, etc. would be appreciated. Weekend fishing is in my brother's big boat, but after work would be a co-worker's jon boat. (I gotta get my own boat.)
