Beaver Lake

Me and BanditMan made it out the other day to Beaver -- It felt good to be back on that Lake we idled the big motor all over the place felt good not being on the trolling motor all day long--The fishing about 20 small ones we tried to find the bigger fish but had no luck-Lake is down a bit color in the water temp was in the mid 70;S--And the grass is going away in a lot of places--one boat there with us--It was nice and quiet and very peacefully there--A far cry from all those big engines at Cedar creek-ZOOM ZOOM IM sure a few on here knows what I'm talking about-- You guys take some time out and head to Beaver and you will catch some fish --Baits take your pick Gl to us all :)

do they let you idle around with bigger motors now

The county attorney said they couldn't and wouldn't prosecute, because the way it was worded. Now if everybody would just stay calm and just IDLE, it shouldn't be a problem. Time will tell. Good Luck. :D

That sure does open up the lake to more boats.:) Is there still a sign up?

Yes there is a sighn still up and it should be the final say.....But it's not. Its nice to idle around and cover some of the lake that I usually don't fish. There was a 4.44 pounder caught saturday during the classic. Pretty sad that it was the only keeper caught in 2 days of fishing but that fish won Allen $1,150.
The bite is awesome right now and any bait will produce. I caught fish on a spinnerbait, buzzbait, tube, jig and fluke. Good luck to all and have fun. You will catch alot of fish just dont expect fish over 15 inches. I boated 30+ on sat, and sun.

It's amazing to me that all the fish that are being caught are all under 15 in. I know big fish are still there, but none are showing up. I like the action anyway. :)

i havent been down there in years, didnt want to be on the the trooling motor, but i guess if we can get away with idle speed then i will give it a try....i dont see what harm it could do anyway, i mean, a big motor at idle speed is calmer that a 10 horse wide open right?
what time of day is everyone catching fish? i might try thursday after work till dark, and then if i have luck, ill take the youngin back friday evening after work

All day anytime, right now anyway. I know what you mean on a 10 hp wake with a couple people in the boat. BIG WAVES. Time will tell . Good Luck!
