Caught a limit today on Beaver Lake. Ok, I gave away and culled too many and only got home with 14. Prolly caught 30 all together. 4 times out this week and have caught between 30-50 each time. This has by far been the best I have done on Beaver since I started fishing it. They have been 3-6 ft deep in 8-12 fow.
Hey that's a good mess either way congrats
Nice catch. No high water up there? We been have too much water on some lakes here.
No High water here. Lake level went up about a foot this week. Still about 4 ft below full level. Sorry Nimrod is so full. I know you will still be able to find them. Have you heard how Dardanelle is doing? Hope it is ok for Spring Camp. We are planning to make it a 4 day trip for Spring camp.
Nice catch not only does beave have big Bass but Big crappie to!!!! "WOW"
Dardanelle has been awesome. Thick and healthy fish. I've gotten 5 limits out of there in the last 2 weeks.Quote:

Hey Big Tex. I was just wondering about you this week. Haven't seen you post in forever. Glad you're catching a fish. Hope to see you at camp. Don't forget the camera.:biggrin
Love beaver lake. Nice crappie
I wondered what you were using minnows or lures? Also were you fishing in coves close to the bank or more out on the main part? I'd also be interested in hearing if people are having luck at a particular time of day.I tried it yesterday around 2pm and it was no go. ThanksQuote:

I have been spider rigging with double minnow rigs. I have a tube jig on the bottom rig tipped with a minnow. Fishing in the middle of the creeks. Time has been the afternoons.
I've read about that way of fishing but haven't tried it myself yet. Thanks!
Nice mess! Beaver is an outstanding fishery! I'll be out all weekend. I'm going to target the big females suspending near the creek drop offs then I'll hit the males close to the bank. Tight lines my friend!
Will you just be single casting with lures (like jigs) and minnows or using these more trolling like setups? Also when you mention "creek dropoffs" I'm not sure we have those around my area (War Eagle)? More like like little coves or inlets...are those considered creeks too?Quote:

Drop offs are where shallower water suddenly drops into the old channel from a creek, river or run off. I've got numerous piles set along channels that will hold fish year round, but especially good for pre and post spawn crappie.Quote:

Thanks. That's good to know. Earlier I was asking what time of day he was catching his fish. I'm putting a new post on the forum about fishing times and a chart the Weather Channel shows.
