Click here to see what we've been catching!
We'll
fish for anything that
is biting but
we target crappie most of the
time and we've developed a system for locating and catching
them
year around on
Lake Greeson,
about 45-miles southwest of
Hot Springs, Arkansas
between Murfreesboro and Glenwood.
Call them what you will - crappy,
white perch, specks, sacalait, calico bass
papermouths or whatever - we like catching them and love eating them!
But most of all, we enjoy
taking folks out on the water to "unwind" and
spend quality time making memories with their family and friends
while they catch a good "mess" of crappie.
While fishing for crappie we
often catch black bass, white bass,
bluegill,
catfish, an occasional striper or walleye and a few other species.
OUR GUARANTEE: If we don't catch your dinner your next trip is FREE!!!
We all guide out of very stable, safe and comfortable
