Beaver Lake permit

[bassmanic1]

Hey guys , thanks for all the info . The only problem I have is having to buy another permit sticker for my boat when I may only fish the lake once . Any of the state lake , including Patoka , require the $20 launch sticker so I might as well go fish Patoka . I went out to a friends Tuesday morning and couldnt get any crappie to bite . The bass are active and easy to catch but ol dad wants some fillets ! All my crappie holes are high & stained but hopefully the crappie will start a spawning run next week and be a little easier to find .

An even better reason to try beaver over patoka with the water levels right now.

Do you catch many "good" crappies out of Beaver? Most I have caught are on the small side. On the "go for it" you are probably right. That is just what one of the folks that live there told us.

I have caught a few good ones out there. I have caught enough keepers to have several good meals. I haven't caught many of the big boys that could almost be decent sized bass, but many 1 to one and a half pounders. Thats not too bad in my book.

Yep, those are good ones. I have only fished it a few times and mostly for gills and redears. ended up catching several nice cats on small jigs and beemoths.
