I am from Missouri and fish Missouri,Illinois and Kentucky.Just never made it down to Arkansas (to fish that is.) I have had it in my mind I wanted to scope out the Ebers Springs area as maybe even a possible retirement place when that time rolls around in about 10 years. I love Kentucky Lake and Barkley.And some of the smaller lakes in Illinois.I am in the Southeast corner of Missouri and have only fished Tablerock once and Lake of the Ozarks once.
I been thinking if I set down on a body of water to fish in retirement I need something big with a lot of species to keep me interested. Pollution is getting to be a real problem around here,and the asian carp.A big highland reservoir with good water quality in the Ozark foothills appeals to me.
Seen reports that the fishery has declined in recent years.Is it really that bad?I am the kind of guy if you leave me somewhere long enough I can usually figure out a pattern to catch something.
I would really appreciate some help and advice.
