I had a guy I know to recommend beaverfever guide service. Anyone on here recommend these guys? I booked a trip for next Mon. 28th. I hope it turns out well.

I plan to bring a couple of my mechanical thumpers along to see how well it will work on Beaver Lake, if the guide doesn't throw a fit about it. lol

What do any of you think about thumping for whites, hybrid, and striper? It works really well down here in Texas.

I went out with Don, who owns Beaver Fever Guide Service, this past Monday, for a 1/2 day trip. Don has been guiding for 36 yrs. there. We slow trolled live shad for about 5 hours. He put out 14 lines just for the 2 of us. I thought what a mess this is going to be. The first fish was a 18" white bass. Then we landed 1 more decent 21" striper. Hit a couple more unproductive spots, then moved about 45 minutes down the lake past a bridge, where a creek flows in to the main channel. We landed a couple of striper there. Then the bite just stopped. We trolled about an hour until I get bored. I told him I was going to turn on my thumper. He said go ahead, I'll sit back here and laugh at you.  5 minutes later the rodtips started burying in the water. He said "What the heck". For the next hour we missed more fish then we could reach the rods. We landed 6 big striper in that hour. I have no idea how many strikes we missed because we had our hands full of fighting striper. I told him I had to go because my wife was sitting in a hotel lobby waiting for me to pick her up. While we were headed in he said " I watched you for the last 3 hours. You were about to go to sleep until you turned that contraption on. Then you started eyeballing all the rods, expecting to get strikes. you were positive it was going to happen." I said, I was positive we would get some bites. He called a fellow guide and ask how his day was. 3 fish with 3 clients. Then he told about our day. Both guides bought my Bobo's Thumper a piece right then. He was amazed how well it worked. I had a great trip and will probably do it again soon.

Talked with Don at beaverfeverguides.com this evening. His clients have been catching quite a few 20+ lbers. the last couple of weeks using my Bobo's Thumper to call them to the boat. He said a couple of his clients told him they were going to buy 2 thumpers each. Maybe they will contact me this week. We'll see. Shipped one out to a man in Kansas last week. He is excited about the possibility of increasing his catch rate and size. Check out my website at: www.bobosthumper.com  Then give me a call.
