Bass Tourney Last Weekend

[fishman783]

Anyone have any info on the bass tourney held on Beaver last weekend? We're the majority of the fish caught up the river, midlake, or lower end? Techniques used by successful teams? Saw it took 20 lbs to win very impressive bag. Heading to the lake for the first time next week and can't wait.

Thanks again,

Matt

Good luck getting the bass guys to talk, any info you will get out of the tournament guys will be nothing but mixed truths or blank stares. Sticking with guys that eat fish is the best information you will get on the lake. If you want to know where the big bass are hitting ask a stripper guide, a 20lb bag of blacks is nothing compared to what they get and release of the live bait sometimes. I saw a 25lb five bass limit come up on one umbrella rig before.

My guess is underspins, jerkbaits & grubs, but that's a guess.

Jerkbaits and grubs is correct. Although the winning bag was quite impressive, it dropped off severely after that. 6 pounds still got a check and over half the field zeroed. The fishing was very tough.

I cannot say what the fish were caught on but if I was a person wanting to catch some bass right now I would look at the local tackle store rack and notice the new Skirmish baits and Rapalas are kinda in need of restocking. Im just saying look at empty racks for what is catching the fish right now.

I heard single swim bait.

New Rapala shadow raps?

New Rapala shadow raps?

Yes sir, now I don't know if it is because they are knew or that people catch fish on them or the hype from the news but "they gone".

Now if I was going to personally chase bass on Beaver Lake I would have a few jerk baits, but I would more than certainly have some Slug-O's, Spoons would be in the boat as wood a ned-rig and anyone without a wart on the lake is not really fishing for bass lol.

One thing is for sure about the lake, She changes her mind often and frequently! But there are some baits that somewhere during the day will produce and those are what I want in the boat. Come June on a flat calm day a Spook will always be in the boat
