Feathers and Fins Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 What a great day on the lake, Started out at Hickory creek and caught 4 big 5lb largemouths right off the bat on Keitechs, the bite slowed down so I started trolling down river and caught a walleye on the first point that went 30’’ and right after that a beautiful striper in the 40lb class. As I motored on down toward Montne I picked up a few more nice 25 inch walleye and 3 more stripers. Just before the mouth of Montne I got in a wide open white bass bite on Pop R’s must have caught 60 of them in an hour and a half. The day was just so perfect a little cool but fish biting. I turned the corner to go in to montne and marked a nice ball of what looked like crappie so I dropped a few jigs down on them and caught 2 on the double dropper and while I was reeling them in the other pole was doubled over two more came up on it. Getting back toward the back I saw shad being blown up on it turned out to be a large school of Kentuckys having their way with them I managed to get 10 of them averaging 2 pounds each. I turned around and saw massive striper boils busting shad and just as I turned around my dog licked my face and woke me up at 4am to let her out to do her business. Damit couldn’t she have waited another 30 minutes at least! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856

Feathers and Fins Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 LOL, ya Jason, she never makes a sound but made her point known. Gregg I actually do it more than you would imagine I get easily distracted by top-water action, its the old Saltwater fisherman in me I just cant pass it up no matter what. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
Members Greg W Posted January 18, 2014 Members Posted January 18, 2014 I understand. The is nothing like the top water action. It really gets the adrenaline pumping doesn't it. I can remember times me and my dad would hit it. Some of my favorite memories.
