Thread: Favorite Spots

This thread is designed to give newcomers to the Okie section a chance to find out what lake, area of lake, best times of year to fish it, and the average size of Crappie to expect. Not to mention, productive colors.

I myself prefer Talala Creek on Oologah. Mainly because of the ramp at Vada point is very wind friendly, and there is an abundance of structure, deep water, shallow water, points, drop offs, etc.

BLUFF LANDING

Any color will werk there,, as long as its White/Chart....

Mainly Thunderbird is where I do my most crappie fishing at.

Y'all know I'm going to have to mention Carl Blackwell. I am a boat-less student at OSU and have fished it for the last 2 1/2 years. I've had my best luck in cold weather fishing from the heated and enclosed dock. January and February seem like the best months, and although the dock is heated, you'll need to fish the outside walk often, but you won't regret it. Wear your Carhartts and gloves and it's comfy. The best depth always (in my experience) has been around 12 to 15 feet. Tie on a pair of 1/16 oz. jigs and work them slow. The dock is on Highway 51C, inside the park and you have to pay a fee to use it. It's 3 or 5 dollars, I think they just jacked the price. Must have something to do with rising tuition costs and T. Boone...

I got the fishing bug when I got transfered from OKC to Checotah. Being 5 mins from several boat ramps on Lake Eufaula made me give up golf! The 69 highway bridge is hard to beat. Now that I'm back in OKC and having spent some time on Thunderbird, I don't miss it quite as much as I did at first.

Gonna put in this morning at Hawthorne and fish the sides of some huge boulders that fell off a cliff earlier this year when the ground water reached the cracks in the rocks. These are some huge rocks that create shear drop offs off 9-16', that sit in about 18' of water, just off from the main river channel near skull cove. I think I am going to drop some structure in the area before spring so that the fish have a hidey hole to run to from the monsters that lurk in the deep.

The wifes new favorite spot is Shawnee twin lakes. By the towers on either lake. Here is a pic of a thirteen and a half inch and a twelve inch and we caught 23 lastnight that were over 10 inches. we threw back several dinks.

Good mess there Grubby, this is a geat time of year to be out.
