Just wanted to find out where everybody likes to fish? I will start off by telling you two of my favorite spots are Lake Conway and the Arkansas River North of Little Rock. If I wanted to travel more than an hour from my house it would be to the lower white river oxbows. Ok your turn.
Lake Greeson and Lake Erling
I am currently boatless and since this is a slower time of year for dumptrucking i will be that way for a while. I try to focus my fishing (from the bank) around lake Conway, (89 bridge, Pierce creek, Adams Creek, Caney Creek), AR River Hydro, Murry L&D and David D. Terry L&D. When i get with a buddy with a boat...we may be at Conway, Little Maumelle, Clear Lake or Plum Bayou.

Cane Creek:)
blue mountain and sugarloaf
Tunica, Midway, Whitehall, Horseshoe, Mellwood.
What can I say? For consistent large size crappie year round my Arkansas pick has to be the local pothole here -- Lake Monticello
I just love being on any lake really...but if I had to choose..Dierks lake in Southwest Arkansas would be my pick. A little of all types of structure...away from EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY..and just peaceful...its awsome!! :D
I love Cane Creek, Columbia and Chicot. I have a local oxbow off the saline I like to hit on occasion.
Scrapper...i know there are campgrounds around Dierks...are there any overnight accomodations in the areas (cabins, motels etc.)?

Little Rock District - Dierks Lake
URL to the dierks website with all info on lake.
I do not think there is anything like cabins there. I know Jefferson Ridge is an AWSOME campsite to go to though. The lake is so far out you do not get any goofy kids...meaning the ones that come by themselves, drink, and get loud...no partys or anything. Just lots of good folks. Not to say it never happens...I've just never seen it. Great lake at night...I run it all summer and you very rarely see another boat. ArgiHawg and I actually fished all one night...tied to a swimming area bouy, took a nap then started fishing again at daylight...lol. Need post the pic of that SLAB BREAM he caught on a 3/8oz spinnerbait!! :eek: Think the spinnerbait whipped that little guy into submission!! lol
Sorry didn't read your post very well before I posted..lol. I do not think there are any hotels in dierks...there may be. I'll ask around and find out. If not, Nashville isn't far away...about a 20 min drive...about the same for Dequeen I believe. We both have some local hotels.
Grand, Chicot, Grays lake, Harris Brake, Ar river, and morgan point are my favorite hot spots.
Lake Degray is probably my favorite lake to spend time on. I really like the fact there's not any houses on it. Well there is one, but that was an accident, and I never see it.
I like the Pendleton area and Chicot area and the Miss. river borrow pits and oxbows.
