Lake Brewer Kicking Out Some Toads

Hey guys Lake Brewer is still kicking out some really nice fat fish. Put in three half days in a row out there, with with my wife, and with Dad and Uncle. Our numbers were 8, 14, and 10 but about half of those were 13-16 inch fish. The lake is up about two feet right now and the bite was slow but the quality is great. Fished 12 foot deep with large shinners over brush in 15-20 foot of water. The fish I am holding came up from about 14 feet deep in a split second when I set the hook and then proceeded too tail walk accross the surface for about ten yards like a tarpon or something. Me and my wife thought it was a white bass until we got it besides the boat I forgot my net and she hand landed it for me. On our next spot she then caught two nice slabs in a row and i had to return the favor, LOL good thing i got em for her cos I would'nt have heard the end of it. :D On My next trips with my Dad and uncle they both landed some really nice crappies. A great weekend fishing with the people I love most. Can't wait to get back on the water this weekend. God Bless

Looks like it slick, but it seems he needs some Driftmasters on the front!

Russ - Let's get on the ball! LOL........

Yes Wayne im breaking it in good, last sunday Lake Brewer was white capping right across the boat ramp as I motored up to the boat ramp to try n drop my uncle off to get the truck. The strong cross winds blew the tail end of the boat around and my motor Skeg was bouncing on the concrete even after i tilted it up. With the wind so strong and the boat so shallow and close to those God forsaken Rock banks of Brewer i had no choice but to jump in and hold the boat, until i could load it on the trailer. Scratched the Skeg up a lil, but nothing a lil High Gloss black paint and a Skeg guard (which is on my to do list) can't take care of. It's first War wounds at sea:mad:

I don't know if you ever been too lake Brewer but they have two really nice boat ramps there, only problem is they have absolutely NOWHERE near either ramp to safely beach your boat except on boulders.:mad: Seems like who ever designed those ramps could have thought to themselfs OK we just built Two really nice Ramps for people to launch their boats, now where can we clear some of these boulders out so folks can safely beach their boats for loading and unloading. But instead they probly said, "Naw lets just leave the boulders for Good Old Crappie Pro to deal with" Probly had a big Grin on thier face too.:(

There is a nice little dirt spot to park the boat at the south ramp. Nothing but rock at the north ramp though. Places like that and the amount of time I spend on the rivers is why I dont own a glass boat.

Good catchin!!

Nice blacks and whites....way to get em.....sorry about the skeg....I don't think they will ever make a good boat beaching area....heck they won't even fill the craters in the parking lot!...Like soswine said, when the wind is like that I use that little cut to the bank on the S. side of the ramp.....good pics of your family.

Glad to hear that...there was a couple I was worried about losing my trailer in...now if they would just put us in a nice courtesy dock we'd be all set.

Thanks Tory, your are the man who taught me Brewer and I appriciate it. I have had allot of good trips out there since we first fished it together. I have located two other massive brush piles out there we have caught good fish off em. Lets go agian so I can show ya give me a call. ;) I was at the north ramp when this happened cos of weekend traffic I like the north cos less people use it. But i sure wish i had that lil cut your talking about that day. I'm looking at Greers real hard for this thurs, Fri, or Sat. It's time;)

My self and Cast N Blast pulled Cranks on Greers this evening, Got there about 3PM it was raining so we waited for it to stop which it did after about 20 mins. We lauched at Choctaw and fished for about an hour without a bite. Started looking to the east and saw bad weather coming, so we holed up in a boat slip thinking it was a small squall that would pass quickly. Boy we was wrong LOL!!!. This was an all out storm with some punch to it, and had it not been for us holing up in a cove on the east bank boat slip we would have been pulverized, to put it lightly. The storm did pass about 6pm and we fished a lil bit longer and caught a nice white bass and One small Crappie. But i'll take it given what we were able to avoid un harmed. SHeww. So it's back to Brewer Lake in the Morning.

Wondered if ya'll got off the lake when I saw the 10 oclock news and the pics of the marina that was destroyed. Glad to hear you found some cover. Leave some at Brewer, I'll most likely end up there before the weekend is out.
