Top Water Striper

Anyone see or hear about any top water action up by the dam area???

I didn't see any three weeks ago when I was last up there. Back half on Indian creek was really stained, it may have cleared up since then, but hard to say after this latest big rain. I may drive over this weekend and take a look.

Negative on the top water bite info.

I heard they were there this morning. The guys who weighed in 22 lbs in the Chamber tourney said there was all species hitting topwater at the dam. It was very foggy though. Think that had a lot to do with it.

I'm curious, is that what they said they caught them on? Gary Bundy and Johnny Hagood, darn they've got this lake down, every chamber tourney theyre in top 3, have won it 4-5 times. Came in 2nd last year, only tourney they ever fish on Beaver every year, hmmm. I weighed just ahead of them, got a really good look at their fish, big nice beautiful, healthy looking and fat, not your typical post spawners. Most fish I saw today looked like they were drug behind my truck, w/ sores all over them. I ain't saying, well yes I am saying, and me a lots of other fisherman have been saying for years, sumthin ain't right!!!!

Do they do a lie detector test for the winners?

[GENTLE]

Yes, but I think we all know that's not full proof, they had no emotion when they weighed theyre fish and took the lead. I know some of the best of the the best on this lake, guys who have won alot, NOBODY is that consistant on Beaver. I win one every now and then and am fairly consistant, Beaver is a fickle creature, to come hear every year and always have fat sacks in a 300 boat tourney, and this is the only time they show up at a tourney on this lake. Nosirree, something stinks.

Hey guys there is another thread on them.. and stripers never ever ever bite on top water at the the old hatchery and certainly did not do it this morning and some $#@#%%#@% would never call and text me pictures of it... BTW anyone want to not go to the hatchery this evening lol

Will be down there Tuesday to Sunday will give a report. On the other topic friend saw a tournament boat out of OK go pull a basket couple of years ago. We cut the rope on it and it now sits at the bottom of the lake. That has been five years ago.
