Beaver Lake Update...09/08/07...
Caught a few nice crappie on Friday night. Went out right before it got dark and stayed until about 10:30 p.m. - the shad were boiling the water in the millions (literally), it was like nothing I've ever seen for about 30 minutes right before dark - we were in between Hickory Creek Marina and Point 12, the bluff's before Piney Creek/War Eagle - along the river channel. We floated along the bluffs catching fish suspended 10-15' deep off the bluffs, hanging trees and crevices in the bluffs seems to be the most productive. Caught a couple along docks in the White River arm in between Piney Creek and War Eagle marina, seems all fish were suspended and would hit the jig on the way down, just letting it fall, between 10-15'....black/chartreuse Yum curtails....(yes, MinnowMan has ZERO minnows due to Bill at Hickory leaving as we pulled up, haha). We used white and flourescent lighting both about 6-8 feet deep on each side of the boat. Fishing was hot between 7-8 p.m. - once the rain started in lightly about 9 p.m. the fishing DIED, caught a few nice meanmouth green carp up around the cut-through across from Monte Ne cove too, well after dark, along the west side of the bluffs using 10" plastic worms, casting to bank and retrieving. This is one picture of one of the 12" fish...it was dark, and raining, sorry the picture quality is not up to par!! MM
