Blll Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 I've been able to get out often the past 3 weeks. I've watched the WT climb from low 50's to low 60's. I've caught plenty of bass but almost all smaller males. Have I missed the females coming in? Just when I think I'm getting a handle on Beaver, it makes me feel like I just moved here. Have they spawned in so shallow I can't get to them? Still catching most fish on ned with a few on Keitechs. No steady spinnerbait bite that I've found. Water temps going up & down more than I've seen the past few years. No complaints on just catching fish but after several years with no FLW and high water spawns, I thought the size quality would improve. Just ranting now and looking for some solid 2#-3# fish. Just when I thought I had Beaver dialed in. Grrrrrrr..... How are you guys doing?
bferg Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 I am by no means an expert but I don't think they have spawned yet. I know of a lot of people catching lots of fish but mainly similar experiences that you have had- lots of bucks up shallow. I think the full moon this week could get them really up shallow... Beaver is a mysterious b*** that is for sure!
Sore Thumbs Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 We were catching post spawners over 2 weeks ago. They were coming out of the river section. They have been spawning near the dam for several weeks already. I believe that there will be a big wave come up to spawn during this next full moon.
sfiser Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 I fished in the clifty area Sunday and caught multiple pre spawn fish on mixed gravel points. I am sure there are fish in all 3 phases of the spawn right now but there are still alot of fish coming in that haven’t spawned. Quillback 1
Members TrophyFishR Posted May 8, 2020 Members Posted May 8, 2020 They should be spawning again, but they don't follow the rules, you know. I saw another boat catching them left & right on spinner-bait in Rocky Branch on monday
Members Jaguar 97 Posted May 8, 2020 Members Posted May 8, 2020 I saw bass on bed's 3 weeks ago in Indian Creek and water was 56 + I was surprised at how many I saw. I'm sure there will be more. Quillback 1
