Quillback Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Figured I'd better get out again one more time before the skies open up. Launched at first light once again, and left about 11 AM. Fishing was good from a multi-species perspective. Lot of shad around and the 2.8 Keitech is about the right size to imitate the majority of the shad. Stripers - Saw quite a bit more surface activity early from the stripers, they are moving around a lot chasing shad. Hard to stay on them. I caught one that was in the 8-10 lb. range on a popper and had a few half-hearted swirls. Saw another one caught by another boat right in front of the Indian creek ramp. There's enough of them around to be worth spending some time on with a top water. White bass - Ran into a bunch of them in the back of a cove chasing shad. Fast and furious action on a 2.8 Keitech. Caught a dozen of them, kept a few for the frying pan. Black bass - They are still biting, mostly smallmouth. Caught a couple of decent spotted bass, one on a top water and one on the 2.8. Smallmouth are near the bank, usually around rocks or off the end of submerged logs. Walleye - Caught one keeper sized wallie on the 2.8. He was near where all the whites were, I'm sure he was after shad too. WT 64. Johnsfolly, Ron Burgundy, BilletHead and 6 others 9

Johnsfolly Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Congrats Jeff on a great day! Lots of variety as well! With fishing possibilities like those it would be hard to leave there to go somewhere else to fish. Living the dream buddy! Quillback 1

This end of Beaver has been fishing really well this year and there looks to be a lot of shad around so I'm hopeful the fishing will continue to hold up. Looks like we're going to get drenched with rain next week, hopefully the lake won't get trashed again. Johnsfolly 1
