Im going to be coming from hot springs as Im going up there to stay with some inlaws so looking at launching on the south side preferably in the southwest arm of the lake. Ive never fished there but someone told me thats a good arm to focus on for a first timer as there are lots of places to fish that direction. Ill be fishing for either bass or stripers whatever I can get on. Any help would be appreciated for a first timer. Ill be able to fish from about the 26th to the 2nd or 3rd if anyone wants to go and show me some spots. Im hauling my cougar from west texas that we can fish out of.Last edited by balata9999 on December 7th, 2010, 12:10 am, edited 1 time in total.
