Found the dawks... Crappie 7/3/20

[Lance34]

Back again closer to home yesterday.  Last week up north fishing with a friend and enjoying the change of scenery...  That livescope is some crazy technology.  Love it or hate it until you experience it for yourself you can’t bash the thing...  Eliminates a lot wasted time that’s for sure.

So got started about 6am and fished till about 11:30am.  That’s when the rollers started and poles get to bouncing...  They don’t like that bouncing...  

It rained the night before and dirty up the area I’ve been fishing.   The back part was  mud to stained and then to clear.  The group of fish I found were hanging around the start of the stained water to where it got muddier.   Bunch of bait because of that too and catfish.  I think I hooked that 50 pound flathead I seen swimming under the surface a couple weeks ago.  It had my pole bent over all the way close to the handle.   It eventually broke my rig off a after few minutes.  

Best depth was 20 to 18 feet and about 13-15 down.   Caught a bunch of shorts but them big thick white crappie were roaming with them too.   Beavers white crappie seem to have two moods.  Ones that constantly are roaming eating (the long skinny ones) and then the ones that stay put or don’t move much...  The thick ones...  That dirty water seemed to get them roaming to eat...  I don’t know it just seems that way but love when I can find them.  Makes that trip extra memorable 

WT was 83 and quit with 12 dawks 

God bless and good fishing Lance

Nice fish and thanks for the report.  I found a few this afternoon just before dark but didn’t find the numbers I was after.  Did manage to catch Walter though!  

not very big but the first walleye I’ve caught in Beaver.

@Greg B. 

Same here several more walleye caught just no keepers yet.  Try making passes in long creek arms along the channel.  The water so high they haven’t left.
