I'm waiting on a warm(er) day when I'm off and I have the itch. Don't know where I'm going to even go as I don't usually winter fish. I want to start, because I now have the year round crappie fishing itch.

Kaw has been my favorite lake for winter fishing, Eufaula least favorite. I dont know why, but I cant seem to put any kind of winter pattern together at Eufaula. The only reason I went on this last trip was to get out of the wind. Gaines creek area lets you find cover from almost any wind direction. Keystone, Skiatook and Fort Gibson can be good in winter too if the water is stable and clear. I take a chainsaw and galvanized heavy gauge wire with me when I go out in winter, if the fishing stinks, it turns into a brush day.
