    Default Labor day crappie in Oklahoma


    My buddy and I had a pretty good day on the water over Labor day weekend. The crappie gave us a good preview of whats to come this fall as they try to bulk up for Winter. We caught 64 keepers 10 inches or better with quite a few over 12 inches. The crappie were in one of those rare moods were they bit throughout the day and we finally decided to go when we ran out of minnows. We caught the crappie fishing brush piles in 15-16ft of water. We used jigs and minnows and the minnows outproduced the jigs. Bobby Garlands baby shad in Licorice was the best jig we found today. The wind blowing 10-20 made it pretty tough fishing, but the fish didn't seem to mind. I finally figured out how to post some pictures and the wife said she'd let me use her camera if I promised not to get any fish smell or slime on it. The fish looked a lot nicer before we put them on ice. It looks likes we're in for a great fall on Oologah lake.

    Heckuva catch!

    Were most of the fish keepers, or did you catch an equal number of smaller crappies?

    We caught at least 60 or 70 smaller fish that we didn't keep. We threw back a bunch of 9 inch fish.

    Now that's how its done!!
    "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 25:15

    Sounds like one of those days you'll remember for a looooong time. Congrats on a great day of fishing.
