Water is now about 72° on our end of Beaver and Table Rock Lake here at Holiday Island. The fishing is getting hot, but the trips were a little slow this last week so the pic this week is a net full of shad ready for the next outing.
Stripers are still doing well at the dam on Beaver Lake, with some reports of limits being caught fishing at night. Still most being caught down around 30 feet when the sun is up high, then moving close to the surface in low light. Look in the mouths of the bigger coves and creeks from the Dam to Point 5.
Here at Holiday Island, that cold northeast wind made it rough for catching for most, but now it’s back from the south so we’re back out here again this week, then back on Beaver Lake for the weekend.
Most talk here is about the walleye and the spotted bass coming to the top in big schools off the flats between the Island and the town of Beaver.
Well, I better go for this week. Going after a big fish for next week’s report and enjoy this 80° day. Keep it safe. Robert Johnson, fishofexcellence.com, (479) 253-2258
