Fish and Useful Baits at Big Beaver Pond

Fish reported from Big Beaver Pond include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

Largemouth bass in Big Beaver Pond can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For Big Beaver Pond crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Big Beaver Pond are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Big Beaver Pond are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

After dark, try a nightcrawler or cut bait near a channel turn when fishing Big Beaver Pond for channel catfish.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Big Beaver Pond

Make the first pass with a moving lure, then return to the most promising cover with a jig or soft plastic on Big Beaver Pond. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Big Beaver Pond that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Big Beaver Pond

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Big Beaver Pond fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Big Beaver Pond may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Big Beaver Pond fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
