Top Water on Beaver report

[bobber]

not that far, but they'll be real close. we got that rain and it discolored the water a bit, on the whiteriver, but i still have the guide boats here just around from point 12... about and hour befor daylite and the water color on this side is good to go!

when you say real close, where do you mean. i don't have a boat but i know the white decently well. how far up will they go?

[bobber]

the island at neals bluff? about two miles up from bluesprings now,( i have caught them under the bridge)they are following the shad up into the river arms , and there not just there yet.

on the way home i stoped at the 45 bridge and the water is flowing still, and then i stoped at (pinhook) and the water was like glass you could see the shad working the waters surface and i saw two fish roll-up and boil water i was there for about 20 min.... then on my deck you can see them boiling near the shoneline but there were no boats in sight! dead still waters?

Hello everyone. I live across from the praire creek marina. I have been reading your reports and thought I would add my own and hope you continue to do the same. I enjoy fishing for stripers but also fish for bass. I have only been fishing off a boat for the last couple of years so I am still learning the lake. Any tips and help would be apreciated.

Me and a couple of friends launched at Monte Ne on Thanksgiving looking for stripers at 3pm. I marked plenty of shad balls and stripers from horse shoe bend to edens bluff. I stayed till 7:30pm with no luck. I tried super spooks, red fins, 1oz rattle traps in different colors, spoons, cranks, swimbaits, chuggers, and misc other baits. I never did see any top water activity.

I went out this afternoon at 3:45pm from praire creek looking for some top water action with no luck. I fished into the coves and since I was not having any luck decided to go down to the 12 bridge. I did not see any top water activity nor did I see any striper guides. I try to keep an eye out for guides. I decided to wrap things up at 6pm. Maybe sunday Ill go down and launch at hickory creek and go down to war eagle.

if you come this way.... point 12, on your river right under the highline wires!! 1000 yards in front or just around the point you'll see what i'm talking about! there has been as many a 8 boats there all week! most show up 1 to 2 hours befor sunrise and leave 2 hours after darkness sets in! hope you snagg one!

I just got back from fishing under the 412 bridge. I caught 4 whites and 2 blacks. Before I left I did go to point 12 and seen about 4 guide boats around piney point. I will try to go back either this afternoon or in the am and try again.

unless that wind lays down i think you might do better up river from the 412 bridge around the second bend in the river at the big bluff, and sneek up stream,this cold front might also help/hurt your outting? good to see that you did get your line yanked!!
