Back on water

[Dan the fisherman]

Well after 7 weeks off beaver lake I'll finally be back on the water this week.   Does any one have n e good ideas or direction where to start fishing. I don't need specifics but just a general direction would be appreciated.. Thanks

Hope you get more responses than I did. A couple of weeks I asked the same question since it will be my first trip to Beaver. Almost 200 views and only 1 response.

Good to hear youll be back after it Dan! As for the fishing I would think this cooler weather and rain would make for a good bite. Maybe some topwater with cloud cover or moving baits. But thats just a guess.

Its really hard to answer a question like that, the answer stump gave you was about as good as it gets for beaver in my opinion. This lake is tough this time of year. It is absolutely a day by day lake. If you keep up with the weekly posts on here there will be enough info to try and piece something together.

Lol it's no biggie. I was just trying to wake up the forum.  I fish beaver a bunch normally.  Guess I'll just have to dig in my memory bank and go to what I do in the summer.  I'm thinking drop shot and spoons will be the key for me.  Maybe a little deep cranking.

I really like fishing trees this time of the year.  Deep tress though.

I fished a little last sunday in the blazing heat and managed a couple of smallies in Indian creek but that was it. Tough stuff. lol. Ned fish though so it was fun, ive been trying to get comfortable with that rig. Didnt get anything on the dropshot which really surprised me. I also think finding fish was my issue. I suck at summer fishing. Haha. I cant wait for winter to roll around.

I suggest you fish in the water near your boat and I have heard most people have been catching them with experience.

The drop shot usually works good for me this time of the year.  We'll see though.  I'll throw the tackle boxes at them though if they don't hit it.

I'll be there the first week of August, launching out of Lost Bridge Marina. I have a red Tracker deep v tiller, with MO registration and a couple of Walleye decals on the back. If you happen to see me, stop and say hi, I'll gladly share any info I figure out.
