Feathers and Fins Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Work was slow so I got out to and did a tour on the lake, more to see what ducks showed up and to locate the fish after this front. I found really good marks in Rocky Branch and South of Prairie Creek Marina these were LARGE fish marks Condo Cove and Prairie Creek I locate large school marks The Island closest to Prairie Creek on the North Shore was Loaded with Schoolie marks ( 12 to 16 pound fish ) White Bass were on the prowl picking off smaller shad at Horsehoe Bend and Mont ne as well as the flats at beaver shores, Some of them looked to be very respectful in size Shad were up in the back of coves. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
duckydoty Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 That's all good and nice on the fish report, but you left out the important stuff.......what about the ducks......LOL! A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
Feathers and Fins Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Oh alright, Mallards at Lake Atlanta bright red footed ones also some near horsehoe bend, A few pintail scattered around and well noisy dam snows in a few groups. Big group OF DIVERS in front of Beaver Shores. Not going to comment on the honkers as they are just resssy's and still stupid enough to let me get within bow range. OH and did see a nice group of 25 cotton tops near 12 bridge but still in molt color but nice to see widgies none the less. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856

Feathers and Fins Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 about 3 hours WC and yes I took 3 stripers on the fly rod again. but mostly I needed a day to just be in nature and touring the lake in fall colors is a sure fire way to get sanity back and the good lord provided the best medicine ever. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
Stump bumper Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 about 3 hours WC and yes I took 3 stripers on the fly rod again. but mostly I needed a day to just be in nature and touring the lake in fall colors is a sure fire way to get sanity back and the good lord provided the best medicine ever. Can I ask what part of the lake you found 3 strippers up on the surface?
Feathers and Fins Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Prairie Creek right at dusk... Today was TOUGH, early morning fog made fishing hard, Managed 1 12 pound class this morning then dead till about 30 minutes before dark. Marked fish all day long and had perfect shad but they were not biting. 30 minutes before dark till dark we managed 2 hybrids and 3 undersize stripers on shad. I tried the fly pole but no dice the front really messed them up. I heard the Kentucky Derby was won with 6 bass for 8 pnds. On the good note did see alot of teal, woodies and a sprinkle of mallards and gaddies. And the best part of the day was watching a Juvi blad eagel who thought he could catch a coot, Gotta give him credit he tried for half an hour before he finally got himself a Small dead white bass that was floating. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
