If they're running water like they were a couple years ago, I'm sure the bite will be on. I never caught so many monster crappie in my life.
holding off fishing fever while loving on my new baby girly. Can't wait to get out on the big O and have a beer and relax and catch a slab.
I fear no fish
Penny they were running plenty of water yesterday and I'm betting today as well. It was also much clearer water than I'm used to seeing discharged from dams. I'm thinking the sandbass should be there even if crappie are not. Good luck
I fished the south end today and had a tough time. Water temp was 48-49. I had one little 9" fish take pity on me and kept me from getting skunked. I spent about half my time cruising around watching the structure scan unit. Found lots of brush but only got a couple of hits. Most of the shad I saw were 40-60 feet deep. I tried drifting jigs through the deep shad schools with no success. Very strange fishing day... for me anyway.
I drove down to the dam on my way home to see if anyone was catching anything. I watched for about 15 minutes and didn't see anything. Didn't see any stringers in the water either. I didn't go all the way to the end of the rocks so maybe those people were doing better than the ones I saw. Froggie's right, the water is really clear/green. It should be pretty good after it warms up a little.
Thanks Froggie. I have been out a couple times this past week...crappie still haven't moved below the dam. Im sure they will be there soon, then it will be on!
Does anyone know how to go about getting a seasion pass to the corp boat launches?
I fear no fish
Online at the corp website or any of the local corp offices at the lakes. If your close to ft gibson lake go into the office thats just above the dam. Thats where i get mine at.
Take a man hunting or fishing for a day he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to hunt or fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.Thumbs Up
Yep, walk into the corps office at Oologah dam. They'll sell you one. Bring cash, it's all they accept.
Went out this afternoon from about 4pm-7pm. We went below the dam first, they were running water and we watched the people there fishing. It appeared that the fishing was very slow. I talked with a few people who said they didnt even get a bite. We drove over to spencer creek and saw 2 boats fishing the south end west of the ramp. They did not catch anything while we were watching. We fished from the banks on the south side using slip bobbers with white/chr jigs. We fished at various depths but didn't get a bite. I might go out tomorrow and fish specific brush piles I find.
