Two limits on Beaver

Long line trolled 1/8 oz jigs on beaver Saturday and Sunday. Fishing 13-20 Fow next to channel. Fish were super aggressive and wanted the jigs pulled fast. Mostly trolled 1.5 mph to 1.6. Kept a limit both days and released the rest. All kinds of fish were using the same area. Caught 5 species and lots of cats on jigs. On 6 pound test and 14 foot rods those cats were more than we could handle. Landed a few around 7 pounds and broke off a few bigger ones.

If you like to troll now is the time.

I’ve been trying to figure Beaver out since February. Most of my trips have been 5-8 crappie in 4 hours. This time I made an educated guess based upon what I knew and where I thought the fish should be. I may not have em figured out forever but the last two trips have sure been good. I was also amazed at how aggressive these fish are. If I slow down, no go. Have to be moving fast and get the jigs up in the water. I’m still learning but that’s half the fun.

Very nice. Congrats.

Never give up something usually works . Just up to the fishermen to figure them out . Good job

What were you using and what part of the lake were you at?

I have been finding them in 20-30fow on cedar trees. I have been fishing from Prairie Creek all the way into Big Clifty. Just about in any cove I have been in. You just have to find the one or two trees in that cove.

Sorry I didn’t see this until now. I long line troll. Lately 1/8 oz jigs in natural colors. I was up the white river.
