Stripers in NW Arkansas

Took a recent spearfishing trip to NW Arkansas. Vis not great, but good enough.

Wednesday, got a 25# Striper and 6 pound Walleye. On Sat, got a larger Striper.

Cheers,

Re: Stripers in NW Arkansas

Just now saw your ?

The water starts to muck up about 27-30 and clear up about 37. Pretty poor vis in-between.

Re: Stripers in NW Arkansas

I have a vacation day I need to burn before Sep. I may need to make the little trip north and try my luck even if I blow bubbles.
