My Trek is older than yours (nanner). 1990, the regional team I was on won the annual sales contest and we all got a bike. I haven't ridden it much at all, always been a walker, hiker, and runner. Miles and miles of bike trails, off road and concrete in this area, I really need to get out and ride some. First I have to put some air in the tires, and get a helmet. Knees pads too, gotta protect my artificial knee.

That is brutal, I don't even know what that class is about, I suppose I could do a search.

By the time finals rolled around for Calculus I, I would say that there were about 50% of the students left standing. I had no problem following along the lecture, but I would forget just about everything 3 days later. I had to do my homework and study a lot before the tests. Once I graduated, never used any of that stuff again, but that piece of paper helped me to have a good career.

Cool, that would be great if we can get after them. Fall bite is squirrely, hard to predict.

You and the Billethead are welcome to go with me and we can look for that fall bite. If Marty can get one on the fly rod, well that would be awesome. @BilletHead @curtisce

I don't know of any myself, but I would suggest dropping by Hook, Line and Sinker in Rogers, I bet they know of a night time tourney or two.

Thanks for the report!

Had a plan, do some early bass fishing, then catch some gills. Brought some red worms for the gills, brought 4 dozen with me as the reports I was reading were showing 6 year old kids loading the boat with big gills. Well those kids sure beat the heck out of me, I caught exactly one gill. Caught somewhere between 6 and 8 spots on the worms and a couple of short eyes, but I could just not find those gills and I even tried Babler's secret spot. Sometimes the fish win, and I hate it when they do. But, the bass cooperated fairly well on the swimming the Keitech deal, also got a keeper eye on the Keitech. Caught 21 bass total, only two keeps, but had fun on the spinning gear. Got run off the water about 11 AM. Quite a few fishermen out there today too. Very nice morning for August.

When I saw "51" I thought you were going to try and claim today was your 51st BD. I was all set to call you out on that one. 54 this AM here in AR.

Looks like a neat place.

Yes, what Bassmeister says, you've just got to get out there, that being said, for me personally August and September are usually very tough months on Beaver, I probably won't be out on it again until late September at the earliest. Jaxfishin - there was a good bite in the larger BV lakes on Keitechs a couple of weeks ago which was the last time I was out. 3.3 Keitechs on 1/4 oz heads, mid lake areas. Get out at daybreak and look for fish chasing shad on top, toss the Keitech at them or you can slow troll them too.

Courtesy dock at Eagle Rock is on the beach.

You can order wax worms and have them delivered, but the delivery time may not fit depending on how long you are there.

Thanks for the update on the gills, I have a few things to take care of, but hope to be on the water later this week. Going to be bringing some redworms and maybe some crawlers too. Do any of you get find any redears around those gills?

Congrats on a great trip! That really is an amazing number of walleye on Table Rock, or any lake that you don't need a float plane to get to.

Yep, Happy 75th my friend! You still get around pretty good for an old feller. 😜

Yeah same here, I'm just too far away. You might want to post your request in the White river section, could be some of the guys that are local to the White may not see this in this forum.

Glad to hear you made it out OK, part of the outdoors lifestyle is that sometimes a person can get caught in some bad weather.

They were annoyingly abundant in the sound. I have eaten blue shark, they used to sell it in the stores when I lived in Mass. It was pretty good grilled.

Always wondered why sharks would not bloat, now I know. Used to run into big schools of spiny dogfish while salmon fishing in Puget Sound. Bait stealing thugs, I hated those things. Never did try and clean one and eat it, but I hear in Europe they are sold in fish and chip shops.

Looks like some good fish to be had. I have driven over that lake several times, and watched that Elite series event and just never have been too impressed with that lake. I always thought that during bird season, if a guy had a boat, you could get into some pheasant hunting that is away from the crowds.

Buddy of mine used garlic scent quite a bit, he caught more catfish than I did, but I could hold my own as far as bass with my unscented baits. Every once in a while I'll try some scents out, it just never seems to make a difference. I want them to work, sure would be nice to find the magic scent that calls bass in from all over the lake.

HA!, might forget myself.

Missed out on that upper end bite last week, but this spring that was the place to be, there was some good hybrid action there too. Last year there was a good bite too in September, they were schooling on shad, hope to see that again this fall.
