vonreed Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 14 hours ago, navery said: I took a chance and dragged the boat down. Shadow Rick is indeed under water. If I wanted to push it,I could've found a spot to launch, but didn't get down there until sunset, so played it safe. Fished below the dam off the bank for about 2 hours. Caught three nice whites, a 3 lb brown trout and had something break the hook off my jig head. Was using a 1/16th oz head so not a huge hook shank to break off, but it had size to it. Saw it head shake at surface 10 yards in front of me, but it was after dark and couldn't make out what it was. Who knows, could've been a big drum? It didn't run like a striper. Tied on another jig, snagged some old line, subsequently broke my light weight pole and called it a night. It was still nice to get in a little fishing time either way. Nice report, what was you using when you caught the whites? Did you catch them before or after dark? It's nice to hear there's some in there, I could use some fresh fish.
navery Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 Using 1/16th oz crappie jig with plastic minnow body. I caught them after dark as i didn't get to the water until sunset and looked for usable launches.
vonreed Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Thank you, Night time is always the right time
Paco Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Hoping to make it to Forsyth this weekend. Wondering if anyone has any reports and if there is a place you can launch a boay

Paco Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks....figured Beaver would be the best (closest).....got new boat didn't want to chance it....walleye should be moving up there...
vonreed Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Walleye have been up at Powersite for quite some time now, probably less now that the water is headed down. A couple weeks ago people were daily catching up to 29 inchers that I saw landed off the bank. Lots of them in the 24-26 inch range. I never saw anybody with a limit, but have seen several people with 3 on their stringers.
nxs Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 are you launching off the road at Beaver Creek? I figure the dock is still way out in the water
duckydoty Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Dock is still under. Launching in parking lot and all the roads that end in water. Room for 10+ boats A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
