Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass near Southside, Arkansas, means focusing on the White River. This river system, particularly the tailwaters below dams like the one at Bull Shoals, is the primary draw for striper anglers in this area. The White River's cold, oxygenated water released from the dam creates ideal habitat. The best time to fish for stripers here is generally during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when the fish are more active. During the summer, focus on early morning or late evening. Anglers often have success trolling large crankbaits or swimbaits, or casting bucktails and topwater lures near structure. Be mindful of generation schedules from the dam, as water levels can fluctuate rapidly. Access to the river is available at several public access points along Highway 5, but a boat is highly recommended to cover more water and reach prime fishing locations. Local tip: Check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission website for the latest fishing regulations and stocking reports.
