Arkansas Striper Fishing Lakes Choose from Beaver Lake, Bull Shoals Lake, Lake Dardanelle, Greers Ferry Lake, Lake Hamilton, Norfolk Lake and Lake Ouachita as the best lakes to catch stripers in Arkansas. The Arkansas state record striped bass was taken out of the White River. While stripers are native to salt water, they naturally migrate into fresh water streams to spawn. Their eggs must remain in motion in order to hatch so the fresh water rivers and streams which drain into the ocean become the spawning grounds for stripers. Striped Bass Fishing for Striped Bass in Arkansas When fishing for stripers concentrate on the deeper waters in the lake. If you can locate schools of shad, stripers are often close by. When the baitfish are shallow over the deep water, you can catch stripers on crankbaits or by swimming spoons at appropriate depths. And for the ultimate thrill try large topwater baits if you see any surface feeding action. When the stripers are deep, jigs and jigging spoons work well. Live and cut bait will also take striped bass when they are in medium to deeper water. Fish nearby or in the river channel if it is a defined depth change. Trolling is also an excellent way to fish for stripers. Use flashy lures in bigger sizes.
