Sounds like an awesome evening of fishing!

Thanks for the advice guys, I haven't heard of G3 or Landau, but they'll definitely be on my list to check out.

When I eventually get moved down to NW Arkansas, I will be in the market for a boat. Basically I would like something that I could fish for Stripers out of in Beaver, but also could use to fish for bass with a trolling motor up front and pedestal seats. I am also primarily looking at aluminum rather than fiberglass. So if anyone has any recommendations, please reply. Also any input on good boat dealers would be appreciated.

Wow, I see you have added it! Awesome, I will post a question there!

Would you consider a boats forum? I ask because I was going to ask a question to the members about hwat boats they would recommend for striper/largemouth fishing, dealer recommendations, etc. It also could have topics such as motor repair, trailer maintenance etc. But if that doesn't sound like a good idea - what forum should I use to ask boat questions? Thanks!

I am planning to move to NW Arkansas from Washington state sometime this fall. I have been looking around for a message board about fishing in the area and it looks like I found one! I have visited AR quite a few times and have family in MO and AR. I have fished SWEPCO, the lakes in Bella Vista and a couple of the local smallmouth streams. When I get there I would like to fish for Stripers, Whites, Crappie, catfish and bass, but I'm really looking forward to fishing for Stripers in Beaver. I have lived here in Washington for 17 years and have had a great time fishing for salmon, steelhead, trout, sturgeon, and various warmwater species. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions going forward and hopefully you folks can help me out. Someday, hopefully I'll know enough about the local fishing to provide info in return. See ya on the water! (next year).
