  1. Got to fish a couple hours this morning around eagle rock and Big M. Started the day off quickly with 5 in the boat in the first 15 minutes. Slowed tremendously after 8:00. We caught all our fish on main lake points in 10-15 FOW on both a jerk bait and Keitech. Tried throwing the Rock Crawler and Wiggle Wart with no takers. Finished off the morning with 2 fish on the jig in 10 FOW. Water Temps were between 55 and 57.
  2. Long time consumer, first time contributor. Thanks to all that post frequently, tremendous help to us who don’t get as much time on the water. had a good evening at Big M Friday night, especially the smallmouth. All our fish came in 15-20FOW on gravel bottom areas using a Keitech 4” sexy shad on 1/8 jig head. Best pocket of water for us was 50 yards from the boat ramp! Mixed bag of smallies, spotted and a nice walleye. Saw a few females on beds behind the marina but spent most of our time in the deeper water. We saw a lot of fish pushing shad in the back of pockets but couldn’t get them to take interest in our spook/plopper. Top water is going to get interesting with the warm weather in our forecast.
  3. I was planning on heading up the war eagle tomorrow afternoon, upriver from camp war eagle about 2 miles. I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on water clarity after the rain this evening? how much water clarity must there be to successfully catch white bass? I was thinking either hit up war eagle for whites, or prairie creek for stripers?
  4. Spent some time last weekend up the war eagle, about 2 miles from war eagle marina. White bass where not up that far yet, but water was gin clear.. Has anyone been up the war eagle n(or around blue springs) in the past few days? I have heard that the water looks like chocolate milk from this recent rain event.
  5. I am selling two fly rod and reel set ups. 1. Sage Launch 9' 5 wt (2 piece) with a Ross Flycast reel and Rio shooting head line. ($300.00) 2. Albright EXS 9010 (9' 10 wt) with a lamson Radius reel with SA salt water line. This set up has never been used. ($300.00) let me know if you have any questions.
  6. I have read many post on here that specifically talk about what type of top water lures to use for stripers, but my question to you guys is what is the best top water lure for black and spotted bass? I guess I will pose the same question on crank baits, what is the most productive size and color
  7. i am selling my ware eagle 1648. it is a 2002 model with a 2002 johnson 40 horse tiller steer johnson motor that runs like a top. the boat, tailer, and motor are in great condition. it boat also comes with a Minn Kota V2 trolling motor.

  8. Thinking about heading to beaver tailwaters with an 8wt and 250 grain sink tip to hunt down some stripers or hybrids... Has anyone heard of people catching hybrids and stripers this past week on the tailwaters, or does anyone have a recent fishing report?
  9. how is the best way to differentiate a striper hit and a bass hitting the top of the water. I know that during the spring, when the stripers are hitting top, it sounds like someone dropping a 10 pound dumbbell in the water, is this also the case in the fall?
  10. I been on beaver in a couple of weeks.. Wanting to see if anyone has seen the stripes hitting top yet? or white bass? Looking to go out Friday evening? anyone have some suggestions where to go? havent
  11. Does anyone know who to contact about the Wednesday night tournaments at Prairie Creek? do you have to register, or just show up?
  12. Jay bird, what fly were you using? where you fishing at night, or just at dusk. are you just casting to busting fish? Please let me know how you go about chasing these fish on a fly rod... hard fish to catch on the fly on beaver thanks
  13. I have heard rumors that the stripers hit top water again in November.. From any of your experiences, is this true? If so, what part of the lake are they typically in november?
  14. JEb, where were you when you saw the ducks? what part of the lake?
