magicwormman Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Welcome to the forum, Scott. You can gain a wealth of information on this site. If you do a search for Dam area or Long Creek, you'll find several articles that will guide you in the right direction. You have the best of both worlds, SM near the Dam and good LM in Long Creek. Only negative thing I can think of would be dealing with boat traffic during the summer. you will learn real quick that the best fishing on this pond, is normally from dawn until 10 A.M. or night fishing.

Nailed it. During the summer the dam area is a zoo. But that usually doesn't start until around 10 and then full bore around noon. By that time the good fishing is already over and time to either go take a nap or join in the fray with the family.
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 That's the area where I caught my Saturday 9am hour winning bass during the Oakley big bass last year, on a S-waver 168. We went back the next weekend and caught a 5.9lbs largemouth less than 50 yards from where I got the Oakley bass. Yeah there's some good fish there
Bass Enforcer Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Awesome looking forward to getting some fishing done. Can't wait.
SplitG2 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Scott, Glad you joined on. We have a place just outside of Beardsley so when I saw your post and the warm welcome from others I decided to register myself. Fall hunting and kids sports keep us from going down year round, so my experience is limited to the seasonal pattern I get to fish. I don't catch a lot of quality fish in Beardsley, but do just outside of the mouth on the main lake and secondary points near the channel. Lot's of guys fish the island, but I haven't had much luck there either. I do well with the usual, PB&J finesse jigs, drop shots and shaky heads...and now after crawling out from underneath a rock and reading this board, will be using the Ned Rig. Night fishing in the summer can be incredible. I had boat problems one night last summer which kept me confined to a few local docks and caught 6 fish in an hour. 1 Spot and 5 Large Mouths. The last 2 were back to back casts and pushed 7lbs each, within the cables! A memorable night for sure. Thanks all for your insight. I'll try to stay active and provide relevant info as I can.
abkeenan Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Yep. Welcome Split. Enjoy the honeymoon phase of pledgeship of Omega Alpha (OA aka code name Ozark Anglers) cause it doesn't last long. On formal pledge night this spring, whenever you are blindfolded and taken to the woods, whatever you do, DO NOT talk back to Champ188 or mess with his greased goat or you will wish you hadn't. I'll tell Ned Rig Dave to take it easy on you with the 7 foot ultra light St. Croix since you are near Beardsley. Should only hurt for a few weeks. crazy4fishin 1

SplitG2 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 That's good stuff! Maybe we can invite the Omega Mu's over. And then streak the quad....."I don't know if we'll have time...have a pretty nice little Saturday scheduled. Home Depot, buy some wall paper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe bed bath and beyond. I don't know if we'll have enough time..." Had to throw in some Old School quotes....!
