I started the day back on the islands looking for Walleye, they appear to have moved on as i marked nothing, tried casting the area for about half an hour with no bites. Firing up the big motor I shot down the lake to a cove that had been holding Whites and Small Walleye ( Phil and Duane know the cove hint to you two) Nothing in the back of the cove so I tried a Long point on the West side of the cove that shoots out to the main lake.

Bingo We have fish. 43 to be exact a nice mix of Hybrids, Whites, Bass and Stripers. Started catching the fish at about 6pm and by 7pm it was a wide open surface bite. The wind had dies down and you can see boils all around. The main bite was 2 to 4ft as the fish pinned the bait up on shore.

Ok had the cell and we all know by now it sucks at pictures but I think you get the idea. Im betting Saturday with overcast conditions in the forecast is going to be insane.

Thats salty for a couple hours fishing...

I so need to go out with you one afternoon and learn more about fishing for strypers/hybrids!! Hahahaha! Best I have ever done was 50+ with a buddy in a very large school. Your trip seems much better considering you were probably by yourself.

Do you guide? Hahaha!

Very nice! That bass you have looks like a Meanmouth, and a fat one at that!

[Martin]

I agree Quillback.....Looks to be a Meanmouth for sure.

[Feathers and Fins]

It is. The rod its next to is a St Croix PS70MHF bout an 18'' fish

[Quillback]

18" is huge for a Meanmouth, very nice!

[J-Doc]

I agree, that is a large meanmouth. Further proof that Beaver's fish quality is thriving and growing. B.A.S.S. won't come to Beaver Lake because it has a reputation for being a bad lake or hard to fish. All the more reason to have folks like KVD explore it and find some big ones. We all know Beaver has good fish. I just wish it got some deserved notoriety.
