Arkansas - Norfolk Lake
Striped bass abound in this clear, 22,000-acre reservoir. A 30-pounder is a trophy here, and 7- to 12-pound fish are common. Vertically jig 50- to 60-foot-deep sunken creek-channel bends on the main lake with a 1-ounce white or silver Bink's Spoon. When June fades into July, try slowly trolling threadfin shad and jigs behind balloon rigs and planer boards near the dam. Darrell Binkley, 870-499-7384; binksguideservice.com
