Thanks again for all of the information. We didn't find any crappie, but that's mostly because of the motor issues on Saturday morning. After that we were just in play mode, so it was a lot of dock...

Thanks cookieman, Kit, & dc53! I'll be getting some minnows and worms, so that should get us in the ballpark. I like the idea of fishing off the dock, but I also think it would be cool to not know...

Thanks cookieman! We're using 4 & 6 pound test line, so hopefully that helps. Now if I can just get the kids to fish patiently in 30 feet of water... :)

Thanks for the info! We'll probably fish around the docks and some deeper cover. I'm used to Mark Twain lake, so we'll have to adjust our techniques a bit for the deeper water.

Hello all! I'm taking the family to Table Rock for the weekend, and I'd like to get them on some fish if possible. We'll be staying at Indian Point Resort, so any suggestions on where to go or how...

All of the fish we caught were thick with fat bellies. I was surprised at how healthy and solid they looked. We only threw back two short fish out of the 27 we caught. This looks to be a good year...

We ended up fishing in Pigeon Roost Creek and caught a nice mess of fish in 2-3 FOW near the banks. Black/chartreuse jigs were the ticket and even outfished the minnows we were using. They were...

If we get into some fish and I have a signal, I'll post on here in case anyone else on the lake is on Crappie.com... Gotta love technology! :)

We'll be heading to Mark Twain tomorrow also. I'm hoping I can get my dad and my son into some fish. I'll be in a blue/silver fish & ski at either Robert Allen or Ray Behrens. Good luck to...

I'd be interested in a cheaper entry fee tourney on Truman too. The trailering part doesn't bother me. Just pick a ramp and use it. Change up the ramps each time to cater to the different areas of...

I agree about the brutal wind yesterday. I took my three kids out to see if I could get them into some crappie, and it was tough to find a spot remotely out of the wind with a decent bank to fish. ...

I plan on trying Mark Twain this weekend too, probably on Sunday. I'd love nothing more than to get my kids into some keeper crappie. They are finally old enough to take the fish off the hook...

Thanks Jason! That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm never disappointed by the amount (and speed!) of help that people on this site provide.

Thanks again!

All right folks, I'm trying to plan my next trip to Beaver Lake and need some help in the lodging department. Are there any resorts/lodges/cabins on or very near the lake that allow you to keep your...

Nice one Stinky! Where do you get the shad from? Do you catch them yourself, or can you buy them somewhere?

So big Daddy, how much did it weigh and what did you catch it on? I'm guessing 15 lbs and caught on a topwater bait...

Am I close?

Only the day after I leave the lake... :D

I'm not sure exactly when I'm coming. I'm trying to figure out which weekend the stripers will be fat & hungry and ready to jump into my boat. Once I figure that out I'll be there. Hopefully I can...

This thread just won't die, will it! :D It's the little devil on my shoulder that keeps saying "go back to Beaver Lake and catch a striper...", so I'm rigging up my boat to do just that! ;)

Thanks guys! That pretty much seals the deal for me. LH on the LH side and RH on the RH side. There goes more money....

Those look like they'd work great for crappie, but how about trolling for stripers in rougher water? The "V" section in the front seems shallow enough that the rod could bounce out of it.
...

I'm going to get some Driftmaster-type rod holders for my boat, but I wasn't sure if it was necessary to get reverse threaded holders for one side of my boat or not. I'll be using the holders for...

Thanks to you and your son for all of your sacrifices. The foundation of this country is built on the courage of men like you and your son. God bless you both, and may God bless all other veterans...

Thanks Minnowman, I've been crying over that one since yesterday. :rolleyes: Maybe I'll start my own guide service - if you want to catch a monster fish you pay me to fish for 3 days before you...

We went out with Beaver Fever striper guides. It figures that yesterday morning they caught a 42 pounder... :eek: Oh well. That's why they call it fishing and not catching.

We ended trolling...

Well fellas, I'd post pictures of the stripers we caught, but we didn't catch any. Zero, zilch. We even had a guide take us out on Monday and we trolled live shad, but we couldn't get the fish to...

I'll try to post pictures when we get back. Thanks again to all of you for your detailed tips. They have given us a MUCH better start than you can imagine! One last question - do you troll with...

Wow, thanks guys! We've heard about the umbrella rigs, but I've never fished them myself - yet! Do the stripers hang out around the surface, or are they deeper by nature? I'm guessing that they're...

Sorry for asking a question about an oversized crappie, but I'll be taking my Dad to Beaver Lake this weekend for his birthday. We'd like to catch some stripers on our own before we hook up with our...
