Beaver Lake

Sputnik · #1 05-04-2008, 03:40 PM

For those who fish Beaver Lake just South of Caroline. Went out today to have a look and the ice is just starting to break up. The near shore is free of ice and there was one guy out in a belly boat and three more gearing up while I was there.

The guy in the belly boat said he had no luck and did not see anything on his fish finder.

I think I'll be out next weekend with the pontoon and have a go while the fish still firm, maybe there will be a little more room to move.

I've attached a few pics to give a better view.

I know a couple guys who were ice fishing there last weekend and they said on Sat. the ice was pretty rotten and they didn't want to chance it Sun. The ice fishing was pretty good for the time it was open.

Fished it Friday and Sunday. Total fish seen caught 2 - guess the ice fishermen cleaned it out.

Or you had a bad day. Common Don you're better than that. Don't be so ignorant

Tako,

How about we try the 15 other fishermen + me got 1 in total. A loon got the other. Guess the ice fishermen didn't clean it out but left 2. Even the ospreys few over and disappeared in disgust.

Was there last night, caught one about 17-18 inch male right by the launch and than a 13 and 20+ inch off the point. Blood worms under indicator seemed to do the trick.

Don, I get where you're coming from but there is no need to be so ignorant. I could say the same thing about Dragon every spring. 25 boats in a bay and one guy catches two fish all day long. Happens every year. Open up your eyes.

Is this typical for this lake... that is usually fished out by spring of each year?
Is it worth checking out in May or are all the fish available the freshly stocked fish?
