Striper Guide: David "Shorty" Layson                            
I have striper fished central Arkansas lakes for 10 years. I specialize in trolling for Stripers with Umbrella rigs, I am also equipped to fish with live bait on request. This is as close to deep sea style fishing you'll find in this part of the country.

  

Boat: My Boat is a 27ft. Bayliner Trophy walk around cabin cruiser, Powered by a 225HP Mercury Optimax and a 15hp 4 stroke Mercury for trolling. The cabin is equipped with a marine toilet for your convenience, and a portable heater for those cold days.

Customers are picked up at the Shangri-La Resort, marina, on the South West end of Lake Ouachita in west central Arkansas, approximately 21 miles west of Hot Springs off Hwy 270. All tackle, fuel and bait is included in your trip. Complimentary bottled water, and Coke Classic will be on board for you. I would suggest that you bring along appropriate clothing, soft sole shoes, camera, and your favorite snacks or other refreshments. Your catch will be filleted and packaged for you.
