First trip to beaver

[pomm muskie]

we are coming from Odessa mo for our first try at beaver lake.....My only other time that i had been there was with my father in the late 60s if that tells you anything ... so any info on where to start looking for stripers or white bass would be very cool......  we do troll a lot on pomme with small spinners but not on the scale that you do on beaver..... also thought of staying in Rodgers or wherever you might suggest we stay... thank you for all of the posts that everyone does to try and help each other.... very cool   thanks again........................................do have flicker shad and other diving baits.....  not sure what spoons i should get..... and to get bait???????????? I  will send report end of next week    thanks again

I wish I had something for u.  I haven't fished sense New Year's Eve.  I'm usually out 2-4 times a week and could direct u in a general direction.  But lack of water time the last 3 weeks keeps me limited on the info.  If I was to go today, I start at PC and work my way south, hitting major creeks, points and channel swings till I locate them.  Sometimes it takes a couple of hrs to find them, but sometimes it takes a couple of days ?.   Stripers move a lot, u just gotta be willing to move with them and hunt them down

Welcome! Not in the loop on stripers but someone here might be able to help out. 

As for your gear and bait needs, Hook Line and Sinker on the east side of Rogers will hook you up. I will be out this weekend bass fishing but always on the lookout for stripers. Will let you know if I find anything

When I get a few minutes,  I'll send ya a message.  I haven't been out since Christmas Eve.  When I put the boat up, I was very disappointed and thinking I might not fish till spring. But I have rejuvenated the hunt and found a cure for what was causing me pain.  Hope to hit the lake soon.  Maybe a few weeks off will do more good and get me back in the hunt.
