Welcome aboard from East Central Arkansas.
Welcome to Crappie.Com from Fayetteville. I would highly recommend Greggs guide service he has spent a lot of years on Beaver and know the lake very well. his number is 479-601-1683.
Across state lines licenses would be a good investment as Ark/Mo offers great nearby choices

First, put the pictures of the stringers of slabs out of your mind unless you want to drive 150 miles or so. Lots of 9 -10 inches but other than private the big ones are elusive. Toughest quadrant in the state.

That is not necessarily true about NWA being the toughest quadrant of the state - we fish Beaver alot and you will definitely average more then 9 or 10 inch fish if you fish the right areas of the lake. Also, we fish 3 or 4 different Oklahoma lakes that consistently produce slabs. I can name you 4 or 5 Arkansas lakes well under your mentioned 150 mile drive - that are super good fisheries. In my opinion, after living in Jonesboro for 28 years the NE is the toughest quadrant in the state of Arkansas as we logged alot of miles to hunt down good fish.Quote:
