Rare trip to Beaver

[Champ188]

Made a brief visit to the old striper hole Thursday afternoon and found the bass surprisingly cooperative. Caught 15 or so including some keeper LM and plenty of keeper spots, one of which was around 2.5 pounds.

Only fished about 3 hours. War Eagle spinnerbait, grub and a Whopper Plopper did the damage.

All fish were released alive and healthy.

Sounds like it is that magic fall feed up, will be gone before you know it. 

[Champ188]

Yes, but after that comes jerk bait and Wiggle Wart time. Hard to beat fall/winter fishing.

I am not a wiggle wart fan, but I love that jerk bait bite.  I also can't wait to spoon feed some whites.

thanks for the report champ . . . sounds like you had an action-packed 3 hours . . . I can't quite tell, are those "hammered" blades on the spinnerbait?

No sir, those are "slick" blades but War Eagle did come out with a line of baits this year with hammered blades. They had a good selection of them at HLS in Rogers last time I was there.

thanks, the strange thing is I have only been able to find the WE Spot Remover with hammered blades:(

[Champ188]

I believe HLS had all kinds of colors with the hammered blades last time I was there.
