    Default Goodbye Illinois. Hello Arkansas!


    Well, it is official. My residency in Illinois ends in a few short weeks and my residency begins in Arkansas. I have accepted a position at a health system in Batesville. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the friendships I've made here. Birdman was the first to put us on fish on the 'Ville five years ago and we will always appreciate his overtures. Stumpjumper1 runs the best campground I've ever been associated with. Him and his wife Linda are wonderful people! Meat56 has become a great friend and I think I've only actually met him in person once. There are others as well, but my personal chef (clfarms1) and his wife Sharon are two of the greatest people I've ever met. Pam and I have enjoyed the time we've spent with everyone and we will miss you all. One of our greatest memories is the time we spent with all of you around our campfire, breaking bread, telling lies, and laughing our butts off. I'm going to be busy getting acclimated to Arkansas and getting used to wearing a coat and tie, so I probably won't be able to fish much this year, but I will live vicariously through all of you. Thank you and may the good lord bless all of you!

    Jeff and Pam

    welcome to arkansas. batesville is a nice, small town - close to excellent lakes and on the White River. Good bass and crappie fishing once you learn the river.

    We love fishing Norfork Lake up by Mountain Home. You will love it there. I have to say I am a little bit jealous. Good luck!

    I try to get down to Norfork Lake once a year. The striper fishing is unreal! Good luck and enjoy the beautiful Country. I wish I was going with you.

    Good luck Jeff in your new job. Have lot of good friends in the Little Rock and Pine Bluff area. We all try to get together on Dierks Lake for spring break every year. I didn't get to make it this year but there was a lot of crappie caught with a couple over three pound. Keep it on your bucket list in the spring.
