When it comes to hooking into Beaver Lake's striped bass, it's all about knowing the tricks of the trade. Captain Curt's got a few aces up his sleeve, like using live bait to entice those big boys to bite. You might find yourself trolling along the dam, where stripers love to hang out in the cooler, oxygen-rich waters. Or maybe you'll be casting near rocky points where these predators ambush their prey. Keep an eye on your fish finder – those big arcs could be the 20-pounder you've been dreaming about. And don't be surprised if you learn a thing or two about reading the water and spotting striper activity on the surface.

Striped bass are the stars of the show on Beaver Lake, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish can grow to impressive sizes, with some lunkers tipping the scales at over 40 pounds! Stripers are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps, giving anglers of all skill levels a true test of their abilities. Spring and fall are prime times to target these beauties, as they follow baitfish into shallower waters. But don't count out summer – that's when you might find them schooling near the dam, creating some of the most exciting topwater action you'll ever experience. The thrill of watching a big striper smash your lure on the surface is something you won't soon forget. And let's not overlook the eating – striped bass make for some mighty fine table fare, with firm, white flesh that's perfect for grilling or frying up for a post-trip fish fry.
Folks who fish with Captain Curt tend to make it a habit, and it's easy to see why. For starters, the guy's a walking encyclopedia of Beaver Lake knowledge. He's got that uncanny ability to put you on fish when others are coming up empty. But it's not just about filling the cooler – though you'll likely do that too. It's the whole package: the early morning mist rising off the water, the bald eagles soaring overhead, and the satisfaction of learning new techniques that'll up your fishing game. And let's be honest, there's something special about swapping stories and laughs with your fishing buddies while surrounded by some of Arkansas' most stunning scenery. It's the kind of day that has you checking your calendar for your next free weekend before you even get back to the dock.

Striped bass are a prized catch here on Beaver Lake. These powerful fish typically run 10-30 pounds, though trophy-sized 40+ pounders aren't unheard of. Look for stripers near drop-offs, points, and rocky structure, especially early morning or evening when they're actively feeding. They love to chase bait schools, so watch for surface action. Spring and fall are prime seasons as the fish get more aggressive. Anglers enjoy battling stripers for their strong fights and tasty fillets. To boost your odds, try live bait like shad or herring on a Carolina rig. These fish can be finicky, so having a few techniques ready helps. Whether you're after a trophy or just want consistent action, striped bass offer an exciting challenge for all skill levels.
