got an interesting question for you would you rather be a very good bass fisherman with poor lakes around or be a poor fisherman surrounded by very good lakes. that is the situation I find myself in. I live in arkansas and just joined a bass club out of hot springs we may not have the best single lake around but I would say between lake hamilton, lake oauchita and lake degray all within an hour of where I live I have the best water around and can't catch a cold will be looking forward to tips and share my growth as a bass fisherman. glad to be a part of this community.
