In deeper water, big worms, jigs and spoons are three good weapons.

Striped bass are a favorite of many locals and fishing guides at Beaver Lake, as they are plentiful and grow to bragging size. In fact, the state record striper was caught from Beaver Lake. Fishing for stripers is a matter of locating schools of bait, and the wolf packs of stripers is likely to be nearby. Fish finders are a big help in locating these roaming schools. Live bait is very effective here, and stripers can be caught year round.

Crappie fishing is excellent and they are often running in sizeable schools. Crappie always like cover and structure, so locate shallow brush and vegetation. In spring and fall focus on the 8 to 12 foot range. As the crappie move deep in summer and winter, follow points out deep, as well as find ledges near channels in deeper water.
