I fish jerk baits a lot out west, we call them "rip baits". Pointers and Staysees are mainstays out here, as are IMA Flits and Vision 110s. I don't know how these particular baits apply to Beaver, but one thing is all are consistent in their suspending ability and have reliable quality that doesnt typically require tuning. Staysee 90s are pretty much the go to bait in California reservoirs for a lot of guys.

Thanks for the replies guys! I went to the Lost Bridge site, but the minimum age to rent is 25 which kills that idea.

Thanks! We are planning our practice around late March as is, our practice cutoff is early April so I dont know we will ever be able to have the same pattern as practice. Figured if we can pattern fish in prespawn and then check out nearby spawning flats we can get a feel for where we need to look come practice day.

Hello, new to the forums here being from California. Appreciate the amount of info on the individual lakes posted here. My partner and I are fishing the FLW College Nationals on Beaver in mid April. We have a guide setup for a practice trip in March, but would like to try and work something for ourselves out also. There seems to be a lot of marinas on the lake, but most don't have websites. We are hoping to rent a boat for 3 or 4 days to scout the lake. I've found a place down near the dam that rents Xpress striper boats, but not much else. Are there any other rental outfits on the lake? Thanks, Chris
