Hey fellas, new to the forum. From Texas, been an avid bass angler for about 4 years now and am heading up to Beaver in 2 weeks for a few days of fishing, fun and relaxation. 99% of the fishing I do is in the DFW metroplex on stained-dirty lowland reservoirs so Beaver is going to be completely alien to me. Not to mention the fact that I have only fished for largemouth down here. So I am looking for pointers on how to attack, search and fish for smallmouth. I am a fairly versatile angler so I don't mind a many number of techniques but I am just so uninformed about smallies. I've done some mapping work and google earth imaging during low water levels on the northern end of Beaver..steeper banks, points, with transitioning rock or big rock, way pointed a few ledges (ledge fishing is also alien to me), to about 1/3 of the way down the lake. Whatever information you'd be willing to share would be greatly appreciated on what they like to group up on, what cover or structure they prefer, etc. I do appreciate it. If all else fails I'll just tuck my tail, run to the dirty south end and square bill, deep crank, c-rig and drop shot for largemouth till my arms fall off. lol.
