lake beaver tournament

oubassteam23 · 01-28-09, 04:20 PM

Hello everyone! I am on OU's college bass team and we are attending the University of Arkansas' tournament Feb.7 in northwest Arkansas on Beaver Lake. We have been the past two years and done well as a team. However, last year they held it in February... early and it was snowing and we didnt have a lot of luck. What fish we caught were barely keepers. We still finished third in the tournament, but I was just looking for some ideas for crystal clear cold water conditions! If anyone has any advice I would be very thankful.

PS I will post pictures as soon as I figure it out.

my guess would be jig and maybe a wiggle wart if he is wanting to powerfish. jigging spoon/drop shot if he is after the deep bite.

and i would figure a shakey head would be a wild card.

but i am just basing this on table rock which is on the same chain of lakes and fishes quite a bit like beaver.

well i JUST can't let this go without saying......ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! but hope ya'll do good in the tournament.
really clear water tells me to use something REAL DEEP. shad color? or at least something in a chartruse/green yellow.

i almost forgot.......a jerkbait should be hot too, especially pointers or rogues.

I have heard that a chartruse shad jerk bait on slightly windy days is really working. I appreciate all of the info. P.S. does it not notify you by email when you get a reply to your thread on here?

I won't be any help with the fishing, but I can help with the email. Click "User CP" at the top left of the page, then on the left you should see "Edit Options." Click that, then about 1/4 of the way down the page, there is a drop-down box that will allow you to select email notification.
