Lake: Beaver Location: Highway 12 Time: 3:00PM-6:00PM Air temp: 55 degrees Water temp: 55 degrees Clarity: Stained Visibility: 12" Wind: S 10-15 Sky: sunny Winning tactic: Casting 1/8th oz swim jigs from 5-25 FOW. Catch: 2 crappie, 2 largemouth, 1 bluegill The water is warming up and clearing up. There were quite a few bait balls, but no schools of fish. There were a few fish on brush piles, but none biting. A friend on another boat caught a 27lb striper on a trotline with brooder minnows from a treetop in 20 FOW to the shore. I think we need to try trolling next time to find where the fish are hanging out.
