WT is still 63 to 64 degrees and the upper end has gotten off colored some. From Standing Rock up and my Tenkiller crappie do not like off colored water. We had 13 blacks and 17 whites today and closed the LW lid at 2:45. We caught about the same number of short fish today as well. Biggest today was 1.11lb which was a white and all the blacks weighed between 1.3 to 1.8lbs...had a few nice whites too in the same size range. Was a beautiful day to fish but I am already ready for shorts and flip flops again cause I hate to fish in bibs and coat. If you was throwing a Slab Bandit in pearl/truse today you was getting bit.....Ranger

Ranger, have never fished Slab Bandits, but have some on order. Can't wait to try em out ! Think they will work on Keystone?

Ranger is there anywhere in OK that carries the slab bandits?

Kirk I have talked at length with Robert Howell owner of Crazy Angler Tackle and he is trying to get his baits here locally. It would help if the local fisherman would talk with their tackle shops and have them contact him and have his baits added to their inventory. He has said he would send a box of samples to each shop ( I have provided several tackle shops that I use) so they can see his baits and try and get it started here in Oklahoma. He has several Pro Fisherman fishing for him and they have done well in the Nationals and Crappie Masters on his baits. Call Robert at 903-363-2506 and talk with him and give him a Tackle Shop addy that you would like to see his baits in......Ranger

Ranger, good information. I'll talk to the folks at Woody's Bait Shop and see if they are interested. Maybe mention it to Joann Sat.

I talked to lucky lure in Okc today, he said he had never heard of slab bandits. I talked em up told him to hurry up, guess I will call tommorrow and place an order!! Thanks for the info Mark. One last question are you using the 2.375 size?

**Ranger09** · 11-07-2012, 08:19 PM

Kirk I have both of course and use them both. Up on Gibson I have been using the smaller one since the shad fry is about 1 1/2" long and I have been doing well on it. Yesterday on Killer I used both sizes and it didn't matter which one I had on. But if you use the bigger size you need to up size your hooks cause a #4 crappie jig hook isn't big enough. I use the #2 hook all the time when I pour and it works well with the bigger size. Again it depends on what the crappie tells me which size I use.....Ranger

Just save some for me guys. Going through a very difficult time with my father right now and fishing has been put on hold until things get better.

**Redge** · 11-09-2012, 06:33 PM

Sorry to hear about your troubles Jiggin. I'll leave plenty of fish for you!! You might have to watch out for Ranger though! Just kiddin Mark.

Well finally made it to the water today! Fish were biting good, BGBlue thunder ruled the day, SSbaby perch was second. 18 to 20' of water was the ticket all day. I thought they would move up to the 10-12 but they never did? Fished from 82 bridge to petite bay.

Had 4 throw backs and the rest were pigs!
