Largemouth Bass
If you're targeting Largemouth Bass in northern Arkansas, consider a trip to the Greers Ferry Lake area near Shirley. This large reservoir offers diverse habitat, including rocky bluffs, submerged timber, and grassy coves, all of which hold bass. The lake is known for producing quality largemouth, making it a popular destination for anglers. Spring and fall are the peak seasons for bass fishing on Greers Ferry. During the spring, focus on pre-spawn and spawning bass in the shallows. Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics are all effective. In the fall, bass will move back into the creeks and coves as the water cools. Topwater lures and jerkbaits can be productive during this time. Check out the coves around Choctaw Recreation Area. Remember to obtain the necessary Arkansas fishing license and be aware of any specific regulations for Greers Ferry Lake.
