Thread: Beaver Lake

water temp plays a big part in the equation. the lake fills from that end that your fishing, so it will warm faster down there and you are right on in what your doing. as the water warms you will be able to move north up around prairie creek and such at this time you will find them near boat docks very near points near deeper water. any thing with chartruse in it on a 1/16 jig head will usually work for you, minnows over a slip rig will work good

go to blue springs area and put in great crappie fishin there this time of year

Prairie Creek arm, Blackburn arm and Monte-NE are all good places to find crappie. This time of year they hang close to brush piles near creek channels. On warmer days they suspend above the brush piles or under blown down trees and can be caught with a jig under a float 4 to 6 feet deep. If they are holding tight to the brush a jig fished along the pile will work best. I target piles in the mid lake area 15 to 35 feet deep.

Well bless my soul, Stinky's Daddy, long time no see. We need to plan another crappie outing. I need plenty of notice because its a long drive over there.
