Brian , MAR-MAR resort ( 870-445-4444 ) is close to the launch at Bull Shoals Boat Dock , as is Bel Arco resort , ( 870-445-4242 ) and you have a couple of eating places nearby , as well as a little tackle shop at MAR-MAR . — Bel Arco is a bit more upscale , but MAR-MAR will do for a place to lay your head and not worry about your stuff being messed with . — If you want a good steak , you go out to the 178 club , which is real close as well . — The Bull has been REAL tuff lately !! — Feast or famine . — If you get a day when its on , its REALLY on , and if its off , you might as well stay at the house . — Bring your crankbaits , jerkbaits , and A-rigs . — Ive been whackin em on Norfork with the crankbaits and a-rig . — Last Sunday was a 50+ fish day . — Hope this is helpful . — Hoss
