OKC crappie

[whackenstack]

Hey all I am new to the board.

Been living in OKC for about 5 years and have yet to find any one to talk crappie fishing to.

I have fished all my life and I used to fish in NW OK all the time.

I got to go with my father and Uncle last week for Easter we fished OOlagah and caught about 40 crappie I kept 25 keepers over 10 inches. All were full of eggs. But we did catch about 7 that were really black in shallow water the males were getting the nests ready i guess.


Looking foreward to talking to you all.


I am also looking for places to fish that you dodn't need a boat to get to around OKC

Thanks

I fished the docks from shore around the Lake patrol station this weekend. Sat I only caught 2 crappie, but both were nice size. Sunday I caught about 7 crappie. Had to fight through the perch but those too were several good sized ones. Also netted 2 channel cat.
Was fishing with minnows sat( roseys) and small bait worms sunday. Sunday was better only due to finding a good spot along the dock.

Hope this helps some.

Ack i forgot to mention I was fishing on Hefner Lake.
I went for about an hour before this storm rolled in tonight and caught about 5 little crappie before wind drove me out to seek some shelter.

Around the dam on the rocks? Man what do you think of Hefner I have fished that lake to foam and I get skunked every time. Have you been out on the main board and looked at some of the pvc crappie condo's they are making I have been thinking of making some and slipping them in Hefner at the covered docks.
