Good job C2.
BIG fish, C2. We're headed over there tomorrow, but no fishing. The grandson is starring as the lion in Narnia (the play) up at NEO.

Finally remembered how to post pictures so I figured I better practice some before my old brain forgot again Reaper!
I'm hitting Skiatook from the bank tomorrow. Targeting smallmouth but bringing my crappie gear. Going to float n fly jigs and being winter, even though its warm, how do you all feel about a drop shot from the bank. So basically my lure will be about 12-18 inches off the bottom.

Wife and I took our two 12 year old Great Grand children out yesterday first time in three years. Put in at Twin points ramp fished bridge and up river for three hours. Not the first bit, using Bobby Garlin and minnows. Water depth from 16' to 30'.
Anyone guide for crappie on Skiatook? I think I need help.

How were you fishing with the minnows ?
Timy: Used single and double rig for minnows. Alone on a jig & with different color & style plastic lure. Fished all depths of water. Thanks for your question.
Think I can help you out here and make your next trip a little better. There's no better time to catch big crappie than February. Don't know is you tried drop shots with double minnow rigs but it is the best way to catch big crappie. Try using a 3/8 ounce drop shot weight. Before you tie on the weight, just slide two 1/0 hooks on the line then tie on the weight. Set the first hook above the weight about 15 inches and set with a double loop. Set the second hook about 12 inches above the first hook. Keep your loops small in the winter like an inch to limit the minnow to a lot of movement Watch your graph close. Crappie may be in a very small area of a brush pile. If the water is choppy, let the weight set on the bottom with a little slack in the line. This way the bait is not jumping up and down. Last never go fishing without crappie niblets on the hook with your minnow and get bigger minnows not small ones. Tail hooking the minnow is much better than nose hooking in the winter. Best of Luck!
timY: Thanks many hidden jim's in your info. I sure felt bad not putting Grand kids on fish. Almost never fish this time of year.
