Looking for some serious fishing action in Arkansas? You've come to the right place. Our guided trips take you to three of the state's best fisheries - Beaver Lake, White River, and Kings River - where the fish are biting and the scenery doesn't hurt either. Whether you're chasing trophy walleye, battling stripers, or working structure for crappie, we've got you covered with everything you need for a top-rated day on the water.
When you book with us, you're getting the full package. We're talking rods, reels, all the tackle, fresh bait, nets, and a clean boat with fuel already handled. No need to stress about what to bring - just show up ready to fish. Our guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll put you on fish whether you're a weekend warrior or someone who's never held a rod before. Half-day trips start at $350 for solo anglers, but we can take up to five folks on most trips. Got a bigger group or need multiple boats? Give us a call and we'll work out special pricing. And here's the cherry on top - at the end of the day, we clean and bag your catch so you can head home with dinner ready to go. Want to make it extra special? Add our cast iron shore lunch and eat your catch fresh off the hook.
Each of our three waters fishes differently, and that's what keeps things interesting. On Beaver Lake, we're often working deep structure with jigs and live bait for walleye, or running the main lake points for stripers with spoons and swimbaits. The White River is a different beast entirely - we're drifting with PowerBait for trout in the cool tailwater, or anchoring up with chicken liver for cats in the deeper holes. Kings River gives us that perfect mix where we can flip jigs into cover for smallmouth or work brush piles for crappie with minnows. Our boats are rigged with quality fish finders, so we're not just guessing where the fish are hanging out. Depending on the season and what's biting, we'll adjust our approach. Spring means shallow water spawning fish, summer has us chasing thermoclines, and fall brings some of the best feeding activity of the year.
Lake Trout are the heavyweight champions of our cold-water fishery. These bruisers love the deeper, cooler sections of Beaver Lake and can stretch over 30 inches when you find a good one. Best fishing happens during the cooler months when they move up to chase baitfish. What makes them so fun? They fight like freight trains and taste amazing smoked. Plus, landing a trophy lake trout is something you'll be talking about for years.
Crappie are the crowd-pleasers around here, and for good reason. These slab-sided panfish school up tight around brush piles and standing timber, making for fast action when you find them. Spring spawning season is absolutely electric - we're talking multiple fish per cast when they move shallow. They typically run 10-14 inches in our waters, perfect for a fish fry. Crappie fishing is also great for families since the action stays steady and they're not too challenging for kids to handle.
Walleye are what put us on the map. Beaver Lake has become a renowned walleye destination, with these golden beauties lurking around rocky points and drop-offs. They're most active during low-light periods - early morning and evening - which makes for some beautiful fishing conditions. A good walleye here runs 15-20 inches, and the bigger females can push 25 inches or more. They're also hands-down the best eating fish in these waters, with that sweet, flaky meat that's perfect for any preparation.
Striped Bass bring the power game to our lakes. These silver bullets can reach 20-30 pounds and will absolutely smoke your drag when they hit. Summer finds them chasing shad in open water, often feeding on the surface in spectacular fashion. When stripers are schooling and feeding, it's some of the most exciting fishing you'll experience - rods bending, lines screaming, and fish jumping. They're also great on the table, especially the smaller "schoolies" in the 3-5 pound range.
Smallmouth Bass are the acrobats of our river systems. Kings River and White River smallies are scrappy fighters that love rocky cover and current breaks. They'll jump, run, and do everything they can to throw your hook. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall when water temperatures are prime. A good smallmouth here goes 12-16 inches, with the occasional 18-incher that'll make your day. They're also surprisingly good eating, though many anglers prefer to release these bronze fighters to fight another day.
Ready to get out there and bend some rods? Our calendar fills up fast, especially during prime seasons, so don't wait around. Whether you're planning a guys' trip, family outing, or just want to try something new, we'll make sure you have a great day on the water. Remember, we require deposits at booking to hold your spot, and we'll take care of everything else. Give us a call to check availability and get your Arkansas fishing adventure locked in. The fish are waiting, and so are we.
Hit the water in our well-equipped motorboat designed for serious anglers targeting Arkansas's best fishing spots. This nimble vessel gets you to the productive waters of Beaver Lake, White River, and Kings River where walleye, striper, and bass are biting. Built for up to 2 anglers, the boat offers stable casting platforms and easy movement around the deck when you're fighting that trophy fish. Our captain knows exactly where the fish are holding and puts you right on top of them. The boat comes loaded with everything you need - quality rods, proven lures, fresh bait, and landing nets. No need to haul your gear or worry about fuel. After a productive day on the water, we'll clean your catch so you head home with fillets ready for the dinner table. Whether you're casting for crappie in the shallows or trolling for stripers in deeper water, this boat gets the job done.
Pomoxis NigromaculatusCrappie are schooling fish that typically run 7-12 inches and about a pound, making them perfect for families and kids. You'll find them around submerged timber, brush piles, and weed edges in 8-15 feet of water. Spring spawning season is prime time when they move shallow, but they bite year-round if you know where to look. What guests love most is the steady action once you locate a school, plus they're some of the best eating fish in these waters - sweet, white, flaky meat that's hard to beat. Dawn and dusk are peak feeding times when they're most active. Here's a local tip: use small jigs or live minnows under a slip bobber, and once you catch one, work that exact area thoroughly since they travel in groups.
Salvelinus NamaycushLake trout are the giants of the char family, typically running 24-36 inches and 15-40 pounds in these cold Arkansas waters. They're deep-water fish that love the cooler depths during summer months, often suspended over deep basins or hugging rocky structure. Spring and fall are your best bets when they move shallower as water temps drop. What makes them special is the fight - these fish have serious power and endurance that'll test your drag system. Plus, they're excellent eating with firm, flaky meat. My go-to technique is vertical jigging with spoons or paddle-tail swimbaits in 40-80 feet of water. Look for your electronics to show baitfish schools, and drop your lure right through them.
Micropterus DolomieuSmallmouth bass are pound-for-pound the hardest fighting fish in these waters, typically running 12-18 inches and 2-4 pounds. They love rocky bottoms, bluff walls, and gravel points in clear water. Spring and fall are peak seasons when they're aggressive and shallow, but summer fishing can be great in deeper water around 25-35 feet. What makes smallies special is their acrobatic fight - they'll jump, run, and fight until they're in the boat. They're also good eating with firm, white meat. Look for them around rocky structure and current breaks. My go-to technique is dragging a tube jig or finesse worm along rocky bottoms. Here's a tip: when you hook one, keep steady pressure but don't horse them - they have soft mouths that tear easily.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are powerful fish that can reach 20-40 pounds in these waters, with their signature dark stripes running along silver sides. They're structure-oriented, loving rocky points, submerged humps, and creek channels in 20-50 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime when they're actively chasing shad schools, but they bite year-round if you find the baitfish. What guests love is the hard fight - these fish have serious power and will test your equipment. They're also excellent table fare with firm, white meat. Early morning and evening are best when they're feeding near the surface. My local tip is to watch for diving birds or surface activity that signals feeding stripers, then cast topwater lures or live shad into the frenzy.
Sander VitreusWalleye are nocturnal predators that average 1-3 pounds but can reach 20+ pounds in these waters. They have distinctive glassy eyes that help them hunt in low light. During the day, look for them in 15-30 feet around rocky points, drop-offs, and weed edges. They move shallow at dawn, dusk, and night to feed. Spring and fall offer the best action when water temps are in the 60s. What makes walleye special is they're considered the best eating freshwater fish - mild, sweet, and flaky with no muddy taste. They're also challenging to locate, making each catch rewarding. My local secret is trolling live bait rigs with nightcrawlers or leeches along breaklines at 1-2 mph. The key is going slow and staying near bottom structure.
