Thread: Any Beaver Lake muddy water tips

they are still there, weather fronts have moved them out in 12 to 20 ft. use bigger baits. caught a dozen keepers out of 40 fish friday morning right after the big rain, but it's slow going. quality of fish are there though. I'm fishing the mud, but i hear its easier up infront of the mud, around horseshoe bend. not sure if overnight rain has changed that. Drop this big ole Tubeon them, shake it around, they'll bite it

That is bigger than the ones I use and definitely the 1/8oz to 1/4oz jig head they recommend is too. I think it's gotten even muddier the last few days. Glad to hear it's possible to catch them in it though.Thanks for the reply and tip.

My wife and I went out on Sat and both got our limits (30). Some really nice ones for Beaver. Several in the 14-15 inch size. Was spider rigging with large crappie minnows and half of the hooks used a black or blue tube tipped with minnows to help with the contrast. I normally move about .3mph but found .5 to work better on Sat. Most were caught in 8-10 ft deep in 14-18 fow. Later in the day we found them 6-8 ft deep in 11-14 fow. All in muddy water. Hope this helps you some.

Good to know. Thanks. I don't do Spider rigging ...just a pole or two at most but appreciate the details especially for this muddy place.
