I'm just praying for some stable weather in August. I have a cabin booked at Broken Bow plus I have plans of going to Eufaula.

Nip, get with Hat55. He's holding back on us ! Lol

It's either has to get hotter or it's just the year. Fished over 20 piles so I would say they just haven't moved in yet.......Ranger

Mark,,This sounds like my last outing on Gibson in mid lake. Very confusing because this is usually a good time on Gibson

Anyone? I hope to have some data Sunday/Monday. Going to do everything I can to get my wife on some fish while we are house sitting her parents place.

Fished gibson from 6-8;30 yesterday evening for the first time since may due to work and family stuff fished the main lake and up to long bay fished the normal stuff they are usually on this time of year shallow brush piles and rock in 8-12 fow and laydowns in 3-5 fow and it was tough ,, 1 here and 1 there kinda deal ,,,no help here im sorry i havent been able to keep up with them fish anywhere this year due to a busy schedule

good luck i hope you find em and load the boat

Went out late yesterday after Burn Camp with Ledge so we only had a little time on the north end of ft Gibson. They were pulling too much water to fish so we marked wood until dark but the current was down and fish were on this morning! 8-14 fow, cast and drag or double dip worked about equal. If you didn't get bit dragging doesnt hurt to try vertical. I caught most of my fish on salt and pepper G-Daddy bait and Ledge got the job done using a white Crazy Angler soft plastic. Both of us also caught a few good fish on our hand tied jigs fished vertical. Ledge will have to post pictures since it seems beyond my capabilities!

Good to hear Pro!! Now if we can get Ledge to post a pic! Glad you all got the fish to bite.

We fished until 1:30. Had 20 of these. lots of short fish and sandies!
