Any frogable moss this year or have they already spray it?

Not sure if I understand your question but FWIW was there last friday and the moss was frustrating to me . couldnt get too close to shore without having to pick it off.

Does any of that moss come to the surface and if it does, does it extend out in the lake 6 to 10 feet. If it does then you have frogable moss. If not you have a mess.LOL

I was there last Sunday and there isn't really anything to hit with a frog...yet. Another week or two and it could get there? There are a few "mats" mixed in with the taller grass. Could be a possibility. Not sure if they have sprayed or not. Good luck!

Thanks for the info guys I may just give it a couple more weeks, I'll just go on to cedar this mourning.

The frog bite will never be what it used to be.

Man you got that right, back then it would rival gunnersville rat season(well almost). The lake was at it prime then bass,crappie,catfish,shell cracks and bluegill were all larger. That was before the grass carp was put in. Now all the bass are taken out to stock other lake and the stunted bluegill have taken over. I think I just talked my self out of going.lol Hey Charlie is the any place left that has a good frog bite. Wish i had a small boat I bet you could still catch them on Sapes in the dollar pads.

I know what you mean about Beaver back then. I think the state messed with it to much over the years.

I was talking about Sapps the other day and wishing I could go back sometime.

Lake Reba gets some grass on it in the summer. It has produced a few frog bites over the years.

After I posted on here I went to Google earth and found sapps under Oakland lake. When you zoom in on it it look like they may have added a ramp, saw two boats on the water and a truck and trailer in the parking lot. I wounder if Mr Duggen still owns it and still sells keys.

so i've really been interested in in trying beaver lake. i live in shelbyville so it isn't to far of a drive for me. just curious what is worth trying to catch there? i've heard it's a good panfish lake. what about bass? and are there boat restrictions? i thought i read it was a trolling motor only lake but from looking at the map that would be a long haul to get to certain areas.

There are plenty of eager bass in Beaver but they tend to run on the small side. I fished it all my life its harder now to catch a 15" keeper than it ever was (for me). There is no launch fee and the lake is idle speed only for motors larger than 10hp.

Thanks. So how long would it take to idle from one end of the lake to the other?
