The 2012 Beachwood Park Thread
 

Was at Beachwood Park for about an hour today...Threw a few different artificials with no luck...

I did see one guy bring in two YP while I was there...One was on the smaller side, the other was a good 13" though....

Of course they were caught on minnows, bobbers at about 1.5 to 2'...Right off the concrete slab by the pilings...

Hope tomorrow brings me better luck.

I was at Beachwood park in the Magothy and it ain't happin there yet. We caught lots (25-30) of sunny's and four yellows and one white (all small).

Were you there this afternoon? I was taking my daughter and her friend to the batting cages on Mountain Rd and drove right by Beechwood......saw a few vehicles there around 3:00 or 3:30. I wish I could've stopped for a few minutes.

Lou was there from 7:30am:eek: until we left about 3pm. I was there from 10:30 til 3pm.

p.s. I sure hope Skip went trolling today; I want to see some bigger fish than "sun fish".

While I still love panfishing, I too look forward to something more than small slimy sunfish. Even my son gets easily tired of catching small to medium White Perch now after putting him on a few nice Rockfish last year.

Mike and I hit Beachwood today from for about 2 hours from 11:?? to 1:30

When I got there, there was 7 or 8 vehicles there. As one fella left I inquird how he did. He said he'd caught nothing but was there only a short time. said he saw some Bluegill caught and one monster White Perch.

After about 10 minutes I caught my first fish; a skinny 12" Pickerel. At least I got the skunk off my back.

Next came a small Bluegill, full of color. They are really pretty, regardless of their size.

Finally, a Yellow Perch!!! Certainly no world record (ok, not even a keepr sized fish) but what the hell.... I was catching fish and none of the other 5 or 6 people still left were catching anything.

I was floating a 1/16th ounce chartreuse jighead under a bobber with a grass shrimp on it for all 3 fish. The fish never hit when the bobberwas still; I had to retrieve and pause, or give it a few twitches to get the fish interested.

We caught the end of an incoming tide and once the tide stopped moving...well you know what happens. The temp also dropped about ten degrees as the clouds rolled in.

Now what are ya goin to do with all the left over shrimp:D.

You should hit Tuckaho in the morning, then go to Bill's open house in Denton for Judge Yachts tomorrow.

Shrimp for Dinner !

:)

One week from now that would be possible. But tomorrow we have our last basketball game of the year so I have to be in Mayo at 10:30.

The leftover shrimp went home......and by home I mean back in the water.

We used up all of the big ones first. The little ones might hopefully attract some more fish for the next people. :rolleyes:

I really want to get down to Bill's shop, but every year it seems that my commitments conflict with my fun time.

And DAMN do I ever want to get back to Tuckahoe soon, too!

So it's Tuckahoe one day next week:D. If it doesn't produce, I can take you to another "secret" pond of mine:).
