Feathers and Fins Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Ok I was in there from about 2 till 4pm, Just a super tough day yesterday all around from the sounds of it. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
Clay Goforth Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 How'd that tournament go? I didn't get to get over there, but I heard that it was pretty tough? It was tough fishing for big fish. We pre-fished Friday with two units and just hammered fish. We boated 112 total fish on Friday, with multiple in the 2lb range, so I was thinking we would have a respectable bag. Saturday, we got minimum flow so the big fish shut their mouths for the most part. We finished tied for 3rd with a 4lb 3oz bag of 4 fish. We lost out of 2nd place by 2 ounces. The winning weight was 6lbs by Carl Jones and they were fishing with minnows. We still had a great time and caught a lot of fish, they were all just the same size.

hoglaw Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 The same tournament that weighs live trout from a live well I guess.

I remember when it was taking anywhere between 14-20 lbs. to win that tournament. What's going on over there?
Clay Goforth Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 WOW! I remember when it was taking anywhere between 14-20 lbs. to win that tournament. What's going on over there? What is going on is the 24" limit on browns. There hasn't been a keeper brown weighed in in 4 years. We catch lots of browns, but most of them are 18 to 22 inches...Fish that would have been weighed in years past. What tournament allows live bait? This tournament is the Shawnee/Supreme Boat Trout Tournament.

Ok I was getting very confused as this is the Beaver Lake forum and I was scratching my head at a tournament that allowed live bait and trout in the lake. Now I get it... NOT about Beaver Lake stuff https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856

Now I get it... NOT about Beaver Lake stuff Ha. I gotcha. The thread started as a topic on whether or not people were seeing the walleye move into the river arms of the lake yet and then I mentioned I was fishing a tournament this last weekend and hadn't had a chance to go back out and hunt for them again. Someone asked details on the tournament and the thread got derailed.

Stump bumper Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Age old argument weather Beaver tail waters are Beaver or Table Rock but I enjoy the reports from both ends of the "River" so won't complain about any fishing report since Iike both ends but probably tailwaters the best.
Feathers and Fins Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 That argument is settled easily. It is impossible for fish to migrate up through the dam but they can move in to tablerock hence the tailwaters are part of tablerock. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856
