Same goes to you for duck hunting.
x2!!!Man you be crazy!!! Some of the best fishing is here!!!! Plus huge deer!!! There no where in arkansas I would rather live than NEA. Shoot I thought no rifle season was a plus!!!
Mossy are you talking about private or public? I'll admit the only 10lb bass I've caught has been from a lake up here but I can only think of a few 20lb sacks I've put together up here. I know some places to go catch good numbers if fish but 4s and 5s are pretty rare in those spots.Anytime you want to hook up to a BIG bass just let me know Remmy. I'll put you on em!!!!!
Public and private. We tear the bass up around here. You have rynolds, tou-lott, portia and shiery bay, lake charles, poinsett, and big slough and the river, then the bar ditchs and black river!!!!Mossy are you talking about private or public?

I haven't been down south in a long time! I use to go down and fish the Arkansas river some and that was some fun diverse fishing. Nothing like that around here but still some good fishing. I've found the lake fishing to be lacking somewhat but the river fishing is excellent. As far as deer and turkeys go there are pockets of decent hunting but we don't have the size or quantity that we should have.I have found plenty of places to fish, But still make the 4.5 hr trip down south every year.
Scatter creek has produced a whopping 15 deer this year. Big lake has turned out 31 from the wma and nwr together. Bayou Deview has prodeced 16 all year. There have been 60 taken off the sunken lands and 100 taken from D. D. Exept for D.D. that's pretty low numbers if you ask me.black river, Scatter creek, Bayou DeView, Sunken lands, Big lake... Need I saw more for the deer? Scatter Creek has some turkeys, st fransis has good fishing, as does Black river (all of it). Lake charles, Ashbaugh, Poinsette, Houge, current river... need I saw more for fishing?
I think you are just too tied down as far as what you think is good hunting.
I grew up in NEA, and I hunted/fished all of these areas, and still do. I still think its some of the best areas in the state. If you think otherwise, try duck hutning at Bayou Meto (over crowded), deer hunt at Wattensaw (over preasured), or fish at Lake Conway (boat on ever stump).
You catch big bass in all these spots? I have fished all of those but Reynolds but I guess I haven't been holding my mouth right. Which club do you fish out of? What would you say the average weight it takes to win a tournament up here?Public and private. We tear the bass up around here.
