Brennan O'Donohoe went fishing with Jon Conklin, owner of FishOn Guides, and landed one of several good-sized stripers with War Eagle Spoons on Beaver Lake. Stripers were good before last week's storms. Crappie were also hot last week. The water and temperature change has affected the bite this week.
