New to board living in Paragould

I have been following the board for a while. I recently retired and just bought a boat. It is a 17 ft. deep V with a 90 Johnson. I have been doing a lot of trout fishing at Hardy, and caught some good ones this spring, but want to get into crappie, panfish, and bass. I live close enough to Horseshoe Big Lake, and Malard for day trips and hope to fish them this fall. I would also like to try Greers Ferry and Wappapello. I would like to hook up with someone local to fish with, so if you live in the area, please get in touch.

Welcome to the board from Conway, Chuck. Conway's probably too far from Paragould for a daytrip. Good luck to you!

welcome,from cleveland county, ar. home of meatgetter jigs !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the board neighbor. Don't count out the rivers, such as black and St. Francis, but I"m gonna warn ya, if ya wanna catch lots of big ones, you gotta be ready to travel. Paragould doesn't have "quality" crappie like some of the lakes closer to the Mississippi. Although, come January, Ashbaugh should yield some biggens. Always does.

Welcome from GEORGIA.

Welcome from the shores of Lake Conway.

Welcome! I went to college at ASU and the sunken lands were where I'm roamed when cutting class lol. Awesome fishery in the fall when the river was down!

paragould, home of used to be bennies and the kingsway club. popular spot for a certain fraternity from a. state back in the 60's.

They have a crappie club in Paragould. Contact Moud Gazaway, or Jerry Cross. I sold em both a new boat, and they are super nice folks. Moud owns the lumber yard and Jerry does siding. They are listed.

if you have a deep V then you have the right boat for Norfork Lake. A good place to catch stripers and bass.

Welcome from Jonesboro. Who mentioned Ashbaugh - there aint no fish in it. Just snakes, electric fences and barbed wire. I wouldnt fish it if I were you.

Chuck, I live in Paragpuld and am a fisherman. I also have equipment. We may be good for each other. Let's get together for coffee.

Welcome to the site. Hope you tear them up.

Welcome to crappie.com. Do you know a classmate of mine (retired lawyer) in Paragould by the name of Hamilton.

Rtark, is that Donis Hamilton u speak of. Also, welcome to the board from another Paragould fellow.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I don't know named Hamilton, but would like to hook up with you Paragould guys. I live just around the corner from the Gazaway lumber yard so I will be checking Moud out for sure. I bought a 12 foot crappie rod last week, and am starting to get the rest of my gear in order. Will drop ahill an email. Thanks again for the welcome.

Thats him. Class of 1961.

I haven't seen Donis is a while. I'm 36 and my step-dad used to own a plane. I hung out at the airport a lot back when I was young and that is how I got to know Donis. I also had his wife for a teacher in High School. Good people!

If you're ever in the market for a boat, or crappie fishing gear, I certainly would appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. I'm in West Memphis. Call me or come by the store if you get a chance.
