Quillback Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I trie for crappie last spring in the coves around Indian creek, fished minnows around the brush, only picked up 2. Water was way up, maybe that had an effect on them. I'll have to try it again this spring.
jay bird Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 I have never targeted Crappie on Beaver lake, but know that they do catch them. I think that there is a couple of guides that just go for Crappie on Beaver lake and may be worth checking out.
Quillback Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I had my best luck trolling for crappie, after the spawn, in the mid lake area around Monte Ne cove.
Quillback Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Maybe when the whites are running in the Indian creek area we can have a get together and go after them. I am afflicted with that thing called work so it would have to be a weekend day.
Zack Hoyt Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 My family has a cabin down from the Sailing Club and across from Lost Bridge. I have been meaning to get out and fish it alot more, but I dont have a boat. I do well on smallies and crappie back in our cove. Zack Hoyt OAF Contributor Flies, Lies, and Other Diversions
Mr. Ed Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I’m new to Beaver and even newer to this forum but thought I would chime in. I fell in love with striper fishing when I caught the bruiser in my avatar. That was a guided trip in 2007. Since then I’ve been back two times and fished on my own with some success… hope to make a trip or two this year. It’s a 4 hour trip for me so I’m limited that way. Beautiful lake… can’t wait to get back!
Mr. Ed Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Dang that thing is a bruiser! Thanks, It came in right at 31#... caught in August. I have to give the guide (Beaver Feaver boat #2) most the credit… or at least half. He put us near the fish. I set the lines, set the hook and brought her in… great fight! He did a nice job of talking me into mounting it as I was reluctant. I ended up with an absolute gorgeous mount and a big desire to return. I’d love to own a place on Beaver. I guess I better try the Powerball tonight.
jay bird Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Great looking fish. I caught one about like that last year, it was a blast. Who did you have mount the fish, and could you post a picture of the mount? Also what time of year did you catch your fish? Looks like we are getting a good number of people on this post which is great, if we can all post fishing reports this Spring it should really help all of us that have the problem with work.
jay bird Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Sorry just saw that it was caught is Aug. Got mine in May, but still waiting for the Mount seems to be taking forever.
