08/08 report

[Dan the fisherman]

Well, finally after 2 weeks of being back and catching up on all the things I needed to get done, I finally had an afternoon to fish.  I got to PC at 4. Air temp was 84 and water was 86-87.  I started in cloose hollow fishing trees on a point. With little to so for an hrs worth of fishing.  I managed 2 lil spots.  I decided to try the bridge and that yielded nothing. I then decided to find a channel swing so I headed towards RB.  I stopped on the way there and fished the channel swing and it held some fish.   I ended up with 6-7 spots, a catfish and a big white.  There was some schooling action so I did catch 2-3 on top water.  The rest came off the drop shot. All and all had a great time and was glad to bend a rod.  Nothing crazy good but happy with what I was able to catch after not fishing beaver in over 2 months.  ???

It was a good day to be out. Before long,  the skiers are gonna put it away for the year.  That will b nice.  I'm glad for them to be able to get out and enjoy the beautiful lake that we have, but I'm even more glad when I'm not getting thrown around by the chop. Thanks for the report!

Got out today from 1-3pm.  I drove around for about an hour before actually fishing.   I Caught 10 or so spotted bass the last hr.   I found a nice school of them and just "video game" fished them.  The drop shot did it again.  Nothing big but man, there's a ton of spotted bass in beaver. Here's a pic of my graph.

Nice job finding em Dan. 10 in an hour would be a great time. 

I've never tried drop shotting or the "video game" fishing.  It would have to be pretty slick to watch a fish move in on your bait.  Good times.

It does need to be reasonably calm.  Not dead calm or n e thing.  Winds under 10-12 mph.  A light wind helps with finding them cuz them dudes never sit still.

I was out there yesterday myself, except I was in the Indian creek cove all morning.  Caught a half dozen dinks, had one strong puller that got off about 2 seconds after it was hooked.  I got them on jigs and top water.  I wasn't expecting much, but I was hoping I could get a couple of nice smallmouth.   Little one inch shad are all over the place in that cove.
