West central Arkansas mountains town like Russellville . Lots of good fishing lakes and public hunting . I have a Excel 1860 side console . I think it is one of the most stable aluminum boats in the wind .
I'm moving to Mountain Home, AR in December its always been a place of my dreams. Currently own a stick steer that i really enjoy fishing out of my ice chest is in arms reach i never have to get up.
I have to agree with Nimrod. I lived in Russelville for 3 years and really enjoyed it. Right on the banks of lake Dardanelles which is a great crappie/ bass lake and perfect for water sports. Or anywhere close. It's close enough to Little Rock for the wife and shopping and just north is Springfield Mo for day trips for entertainment and shopping. Really laid back atmosphere and great people. Great smaller lakes like Conway and Nimrod to fish also.
My boat of choice would be if money no object. Seark 20 ft catfish boat with 140 Suzuki motor. Can be set up for just about any kind of fishing you could want to do.
Russellville, no doubt!
Toledo bend, sardis Mississippi or Tichnor, Arkansas. Or if money was no object somewhere in the caribean.
OK Whats in Tichnor, ARQuote:

Lake D'arbone without a doubt. The boat depends on your preferred style of fishing; one boat isn't enough for anyone [emoji23][emoji23].

im 61, retired last year . I bought an excel 22' center console (aluminum ) . love it ! i also bay fish south Louisiana so its a good dual purpose boat . crappie and bays . walk around , stretch, room for 3-4 fishermen if desired. huge storage and livewells , 14 gallon bait tank . When your retired , many places are ' reachable' ! 3 to 6 day trips are a blast.
Batesville, Mississippi. Four of the best crappie lake in the world are right their !!!

I have to go with somewhere on Beaver Lake. I currently live in Farmington just outside of Fayetteville and love fishing Beaver Lake as often as possible. As far as the boat.....I have to go with a Bass Cat with a four stroke 250hp....I know it's a bit much for crappie fishing, but the family likes to do some tubing and wake boarding in the summer, so we do.....plus I've had a dream for a while to own an Arkansas built boat. Something about the pride of it being built in Arkansas.
Go North or go South, Central Arkansas is nothing compared to North or South Arkansas. Unless you are into city living, higher crime rates, higher tax rates ect ect ect........ The boat is really up to your personal wants and needs, fiberglass boats for me or bust, preferably 20-21 foot. aluminum is my second choice.
I would search the west side of Toledo Bend
Any Solid 18-20 ft boat

Not North East Arkansas, lakes and water is few and far between. I really enjoy my Kingfisher stick steer boat.
Mountains for sure, either Ouachita or Ozarks. Hard to beat the fishing opportunities in the Hot Springs area.
My buddy up in Kansas recently got a fully decked out G3 Sportsman 200. Heck of a boat, would be hard to improve on.
Outside Arkansas, I’d be very tempted to live in SE Oklahoma. Texoma, Broken Bow, Great Lakes over that way.
If money was no object, I’d buy several smaller places around the country for the outdoor activities I liked. Crappie Fishing—Mississippi. Deer Hunting—Up North somewhere where the BIG ones are, etc.
