A buddy of mine fished over new years - found some about half way to the boat ramp from the spill way, but no size to them

A couple friends were over there a few days ago, they caught quite a few small crappie...9'' they said. Actually got some nice gills around 8", not bad for Beeds these days. Mostly down lake areas I believe, seems the upper end silted in fairly good, not quite as deep as it used to be. Hope this helps, good luck.

I already have... Maybe when we get good ice @ beeds some of us who are close could get together. I enjoy fishing there.

It is a good place to fish if they are biting no doubt!!!

i was on Beeds sunday, 5 inches out in front of the dam. Caught about 25 or so gills. Ranged from mostly small, to 6 or 8 keepers. Couple small crappies.
Was also on the little interstate lake. A few lookers, no takers. It also had 5 inches of ice.

My FIL is friends with him, and they told him he was nuts for putting it out there.

He says it will be awhile before he puts his permy out for the season

Last time I fished that pit I apparently didnt speak the native language. Seen non legal immigrants keeping everything they caught. Can you get a fishing license if your a "undocumented worker"?
Left a bad taste in my mouth and havent been back since.

Drove past yesterday just before dark and saw a few shacks out there. Anything worth mentioning? I thought about stopping but had to get back to Ames.

Any word from Beed's over the weekend? Takin' the kids out tomorrow and lookin' for some action. Was thinking about Clear Lake also.

crappie98 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 15, 2012, 09:24 PM »

Fished beeds this afternoon and did alright. 4 to 6 inches of ice but still some open water on the lake. Just be very careful along the shoreline as that is where the open water seems to be.

I was at Beeds from 2:30-6 on Sunday and did fairly well close to the jetty. I wasn't very impressed with the idiot punting fish on the lake. Not very classy

Nor was the drilling holes within ten feet of our huts when they had the whole lake to fish. A real LACK of respect for other fisherman.

Were you in the red eskimo? I couldn't tell if those guys were drunk or just stupid

Well it sure wasn't very good fishing there today... At least not for me. Was out there for about 3 hours and all I came up with was one little gill! Moved around some but just didn't mark that many on the vex.

Heading over in the morning. Anyone else going to give it a try?

crappie98 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 25, 2012, 08:50 PM »

3 hours of fishing on the lake today. Only had 6 fish worth keeping and the bite was real slow.

Derek · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 25, 2012, 10:36 PM »

Caught some smaller crappies earlier in the morning then the gills nursery woke up and decided to clutter up the water

crappie98 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 28, 2012, 10:10 PM »

Was SLOW at beeds today. Fished for seven hours and we took home 20 gills and a crappie.

bassfishineric12 · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 16, 2012, 02:49 PM »
