Thread: First Oklahoma Fall Crappie Camp Scheduled !!!!!

Is there any visible timber or structure on this lake? If I bring my boat it is electronically challenged for the time being and if there is no visible timber or structure I might as well be fishing blindly.

There is some but most is underwater. This includes Dept of Wildlife unmarked spider blocks just west of Rocky Point on the south shore in front of old boat docks. It can be a challenge at times even with good electronics.

Been talking with the wife and coming up with the family Thursday night with the mother-in-laws camper and making a weekend of it.

Re: Timber and structure near Rocky Point, Ranger09 would also be a good resource to ask. Several of us will also be learning the lake. We are preparing maps of "good fishing areas" to be available at the Camp. We're also going to try to convince someone to mark the Corps fish attractors with a "Camp" marker (I don't think the are marked). We have the Corps GPS coordinates. ANY VOLUNTEERS?? We can furnish the markers.

Sounds great. Looking forward to at least landing 1 big ole black slab daddy!

All I can say about Ft. Gibson lake is to put your aluminum props on and bring a spare.

That much going on under the water?



Plucked this off the Wildlife Department website. Don't know if any of this is still located at these coordinates.

What I was referring to was the amount of rocks/boulders underwater. You really have to be careful leaving the area at Rocky Point. We camped there a few years ago and I beached my pontoon boat several times by our campsite (really paying attention to depth finder - unfortunately, no imaging). It was about the 9th or 10th time I backed off the shore, WAM, smacked a big rock with the prop. Luckily I had my aluminum prop on - it bent pretty good but at least I didn't damage the LU like I would have with a SS prop.

I'm sure Ranger and others will give really good directions on how to navigate out of that area.
