Thread: Skiatook Lake

Yep...I ventured out to the Dead Sea this afternoon for a few hours. I had several brushpiles that I had set last year and had never ventured out to fish. Guess maybe I should have fished them sooner. All caught on Jigum Jigs.

Very nice mess of crappie. Good to see the bit is on again.

What depth are your brush piles Gambler?

24ft. I actually put these out for a night bite. The fish were 18ft. deep. I tried shallower earlier in the day, but only caught dinks.

WTG G-Man! Those have some really nice coloring, is that a black on top center?

It sure appears that way in the picture. There are a few blacks in Skiatook, and I caught some dinks, but that one was the only keeper.

Gamblinman,

Don't give up too much information about our brushpiles. Lord knows I worked my a$$ off dropping them in the lake last winter. At Skiatook, there are waaay too many jerks out there that call themselves fishermen, that wouldn't stop at anything to ruin a guys fishing if they're beat to the honey hole. Whatever happened to the 50 foot courtesy rule???

I love Oklahoma but this is the reason the Arkansas people have better luck! They are more than happy to share holes, share experiences, and share in the work involved in producing trophy holes for white/black crappie. I am not saying I disagree with the fact there are way too many people that are jerks but REAL fisherman know where to find fish even when they are not biting in the "honey holes" -- That being said...I have lived in Oklahoma for 2 years, I have put over 15 brush piles in Lake Skiatook and a few in Oolagah, and have only been fishing maybe once or twice on each lake. I have told several people where my spots are located in hopes they will give me feedback. When I finally get a boat I will start hitting them and put more out. If you ever need to know where a few really good "honey holes" are that I assure you nobody knows about, just PM me....I would be glad to share. The thing that makes me the most upset about fishing in OK is that the boats are not considerate at all to fisherman on the banks and the recreation boats, ski and wake boats, are very rude to smaller fishing boats while on the water. I believe if everybody pitched in to start making people more "aware" of their surroundings this would not be as big of an issue at least in our lakes. I like the pic, nice fish and congrats...they are also clinging to bluffs in skiatook right now about 15 feet deep in about 25 foot of water hitting on shiney hiney jigs of all colors... Hope this helps! Minnowman
