Howdy anglers! It's Todd here with your Beaver Lake fishing update. The summer bite is in full swing, and the bass action is heating up along the rocky points and submerged structures. Early mornings and late afternoons have been prime times to target largemouth and smallmouth bass using soft plastics and crankbaits. The catfish are also active, with some hefty catches reported near the deeper channels using stinkbaits and cut bait. If you're looking for a variety, crappie are schooling around submerged brush piles in about 10-15 feet of water. Remember to stay hydrated, pack your sunscreen, and be ready for some exciting battles on the water! Tight lines, and I'll see you out on Beaver Lake.
