Your guide's got a hot tip on where the big stripers are hanging out, and you can feel the excitement building. We'll set you up with top-notch gear and show you the ropes if you're new to striper fishing. Once we hit our spot, it's all about the thrill of the chase.

And don't worry if you're not a pro – we'll be right there to help you land that monster fish and snap a photo that'll be the envy of your social media feed.
When it comes to hooking into Beaver Lake's stripers, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves. We typically use a mix of trolling and live bait fishing to maximize your chances of success. We'll cruise the lake at just the right speed, dragging a spread of lures that mimic the stripers' favorite snacks. Keep an eye on those downriggers – when they pop, it's game on! If the bite's slower, we might switch to live bait, using shad or herring to entice those big boys to bite. Our boats are decked out with the latest fish-finding tech, so we can spot those schools of stripers and get you right on top of the action. And hey, if you've got a favorite lure or technique you want to try, we're all ears. This is your trip, after all!
Folks who fish with us tend to get a little spoiled. It's not just about the fish – though trust me, when you're reeling in a 30-pound striper, that's pretty darn exciting. It's the whole package. The peace and quiet of an early morning on Beaver Lake, broken only by the splash of jumping fish. The rush of adrenaline when your rod doubles over. The stories and laughs shared with your guide and fishing buddies. And let's not forget the bragging rights you'll earn back home. We've had guests come back year after year, bringing friends and family to share in the experience. There's just something special about Beaver Lake striper fishing that gets in your blood.
Striped bass are the stars of the show on Beaver Lake, and for good reason. These bruisers can grow up to 40 pounds or more, and they fight like they've got something to prove. Stripers are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps, so hang on tight when you hook into one! They're most active in the cooler months, from fall through spring, but we can find them year-round if you know where to look (and we do). In the summer, we target them in deeper, cooler water where they hang out to beat the heat. Stripers are schooling fish, so when we find one, there's a good chance there are more nearby. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the feeling of a big striper smashing your lure and peeling line off your reel. It's the kind of rush that keeps anglers coming back for more.
While stripers are our main target, Beaver Lake is also home to some other hard-fighting fish that might end up on your line. Largemouth and spotted bass are common catches, especially around structure and drop-offs. These green machines put up a great fight on lighter tackle and are a blast to catch. You might also run into some chunky walleye, especially if we're fishing deeper water or during low light conditions. And if you're lucky, you might even tangle with one of Beaver Lake's monster catfish. These whiskered giants can grow to massive sizes and will give you a workout you won't soon forget.
Listen, if you're still on the fence about booking a trip with Ozark's Full Stringers LLC, let me give you a little nudge.
