Bull Shoals Early October

[Kramr]

Hi,

Wife and I will be there around October 5. We are focused mostly on walleyes. We don't want to burn up a lot of gas trying to get to a good spot. What part of the lake is best in early October for walleyes. Any info is much appreciated.

No one have any suggestions about this?

I've done well in the Tucker Hollow area that time of year, trolling cranks on the edges of the flats. If fishing is your only focus, that might be an option (note: there aren't many "amenities" such as restaurants and shopping close by).

Thanks. My wife is a bigger fishing nut than I am. We are there to see who can land the biggest and/or most fish. We generally bring our own food to keep the cost down. If we go shopping, it's to stock up on lures and such. LOL

Any reasonably priced places to stay in the Tucker Hollow area?

Kramr, like Powerdive said, trolling cranks. it has been pretty slow for me lately, hopefully it will pick up with the cooler weather coming. and a better report by the end of the month! there is a campground at tucker hollow and some cabins.

[powerdive]

The cabins are actually a strip motel called Tucker Hollow Lodge. (870) 436-5569. If rooms are still available then, they're fairly humble, but reasonably priced, clean and well-kept. Good launch, but no courtesy dock. The marina will probably still be open.

Wife requires some kind of kitchen or at least a microwave and a full size refrigerator (place to keep the fish we catch).

Anyone else have an area to recommend or are you keeping the best for yourself?

[powerdive]

Kramr, those needs are covered at Tucker. Hopefully you'll get some other ideas also. Good luck!

You might try Diamond City, AR. Several cabins and motels that are reasonable. Also gas stations and stores nearby. info on the this website...http://thelakeshoredistricts.com/Attraction_Map.html

Does Tucker have their gas pumps working?
