    Time change is 3/12/17 and Easter is 4/16/17. I would be fine with 3/18 and like you said, we have seen snow in May and 80s in March so who knows. My wife's birthday and our anniversary is 4/9 so I don't think I could go then, but otherwise I'm in...I vote for no Bel-Arco! (Unless it has greatly improved)

    I think Bel Arco is now an apartment complex

    Thanks Melvin, I see Bel Arco will do long term rentals now. I like we can all stay together - let me talk to that fine owner and see what is up.

    I just did a week at Bull Shoals, we stayed at the Lighthouse it was decent and very reasonable. It's run by Bull Shoals Boat Dock and we launched there. Just a FYI, if you want to check but I will stay where ever.( I ain't missing another one )

    March 18 it is then. I'll talk to Bel Arco, Lighthouse and any other suggestions over the next few weeks. When we went last time it was Bel Arco and Gaston's that were big enough to hold us. Gaston's was a little pricey at the time. Bel Arco had a meeting room, place to cater everything, plenty of rooms and boat parking for a large volume, and a really nice outdoor pavilion. On the flip side they were missing some toilets and hot water. So the pros and cons are considerable.

    Roger and I stayed at Lighthouse once and the parking was pretty tight (to park by the room). I had the only boat in the parking lot and had to get pretty creative. Unless they have a lot that would be away from the rooms, it would be tough to fit us there.

    sometimes you just have to roll the dice! Don't forget about the heaters catching fire either.

    I just remember Roger outside in his underwear at Bel Arco beating the *hit out of his rattling and squeaking heater unit!

    True dat, but we put our boat in the slip that came with the room and just parked the trailer out of the way. We could all rent houseboats and have a flotilla.

    The house boat idea is interesting, just tie your fishing boat to your room.����

    would that be your wake up call?
    Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!
