Thread: First trip of 2023…. Beaver Lake

Couldn’t ask for a better weather Saturday…. Light wind and almost 50 degrees launching at 7… Took a gentlemen out wanting to learn more on how to slow vertical troll… The bite was a lot more tougher than previous trip… They bite was really finicky…. They come up look at it forever, run off scared or just quick strike it…. I don’t know if it was the full moon phase or just having mostly big minnows that you could’ve fillet…. I prefer 2 inch minnows or smaller…. Those just seem to be the most consistent bite for Beaver…. We shut it down a little before 1 with him taking home 15 or so crappie…. (1 limit). WT was 41…. Pea green water clarity…. Lake elevation 1118.5…. Caught them in 12-10 fow…. Raking the bottom or just a couple feet off…. Setup was 16ft BnM BGJP’s with 1/2oz Capps and Coleman double minnow rigs and 1/2oz home made rigs I tie up myself using Vanguard Tackle and Pico Lures 1/16 Scope eye chartreuse jig head with a yellow/white and pink/white tube…. They just being a typical Beaver Lake crappie yesterday I guess…. Trying under stand theses fish here is like trying to understand a woman….


Back at it again next week…. Good fishing and God Bless
