Blll Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Stopped at Rt. 12 ramp for a quick view. Whoa! Chocolate milk as far as the eye could see. Bear cove too. My 3rd winter here, never saw anything like this. Not a mud line, a mud lake! Gonna be a long winter for me.
Stump bumper Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I have been fishing Beaver since 2001 and have never seen this much high water.
J-Doc Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I won't be on the lake this weekend. Probably not next weekend either. No point in going really. The striper bite is very sporadic and hard to pin point in a day's time. And the next day it's completely different. I could go play with bass near the dam I guess. But I'd much rather catch a 40lb beast. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks.

Quillback Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Was up near the dam today, water is surprisingly clear around the Lost Bridge ramps, some pea green stain in Clifty, but fishable. We caught some bass, didn't tear them up, but enough to make it an enjoyable day. Dang cold weather will keep me from fishing next week.
J-Doc Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 You're not helping! I was planning on working this weekend and getting caught up. I know better than to go chase bass after a cold front. But now I have images of flipping baits pockets and points. Evil you are... Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!!

Stump bumper Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 I am in Minot,ND right now and would love to see water that is not hard !! Get out and enjoy it. If you think it is cold, come spend the week with me and next weekend you will be fishing in shorts ! J-Doc and Champ188 2
jeb Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Quillback and I had a good time down around the dam. No real pattern to them, though. Caught them all the way in the backs of coves, middle of coves and main lake points. Rock Crawlers, spinner baits, ned, jigs, etc. I thought it was actually a very decent outing for Beaver in its current condition.

J-Doc Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Jeb was that you replacing bunk boards at PC last week? If so, I apologize for not introducing myself and saying hi. I didn't think about it until I was shoving off and I recognized the boat. Thought that might have been you. I was in the red Ranger aluminum rig. If not you..... Nevermind. Lol Need marine repair?

J-Doc Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Just watched Zonas Awesome Fishing Show where they were hammering smallmouth. You guys are killing me. I'll probably be at the dam tomorrow chasing smallmouth now. I can't take it. I tried to let the boat rest this weekend but it's YOUR fault. Lol! Need marine repair?

Jeb replaced his bunks recently, I bet that was him you saw at the ramp.
