Crappie Wall Hanger II
Fishing SW Okla
Fished Altus/Lugert friday caught 22 crappie;8 sandbass;4 carp? well they do put up a good tussel. I fished Tom Steed last week and it is still slow fishing water is murky no one catching much. I stopped by Lake Lawkona a few days ago to buy permits talked with some folks around lake fishing still slow but starting to improve. Permits are only available at a few places some of which are closed at this time,the Lawton city lakes dept near the lake has them check the Lawton website for contact info. People starting to catch them from the dam. That's a little different kind of fishing standing shoulder to shoulder cranking fish 30 feet in the air after you hook them, good tackle is a must along with a bucket to put them in and wind resistant clothes there are no wind breaks on top of the dam. A nice thing about Lake Lawtonka is if bite is slow Medicine Park Okla. is right near the dam with good places to eat and places to shop. The best part about fishing Lake Lawtonka is driving from Altus I get to drive through Witchita Wildlife Refuge so I can enjoy the scenery and critters.

Not too many on board from your area. Welcome and keep it up. There could be some folks from other parts of the State want to come boost your local economy.

Welcome Mikie, do you ever go to Arbuckle lake? I'll always remember my grampa taking me there during the spawn. I can see it now, chunking corks an minnows to buck brush in a secluded cove. We absolutley killed the crappie. I've been hooked ever since.

Mikie glad to have you on board from SW Ok. I was at the dam yesterday and it was slow. It is usally better on the days that most people stay home. Its really differnt type of fishing. Ive fished it for years and its fun. Good luck fishing and glad to have you on board.

Hello, from Western OK myself, nice to see you had a good day! Keep up the good work! Last I saw that lake it looked like it was 20 feet down.

I think Altus/Lugert is about 27 feet down but that means fish have fewer places to hide. I went today and fished for about 2 hours with out any luck, not the fishes fault a little windy and I don't fish well so I need luck saw some bank fisherman catch a few. It stills beats the heck out of work.

Hi Mikie, I live in Altus and also fish Lake Altus and Tom Steed. Nice to see someone else from this area. Nice job on the winter crappie haul. That was after that week of warm weather wasn't it?

Anybody know how the fishing is inside the refuge? I remember seeing some good looking ponds and small lakes while there a few years ago, theres a nice campground too. Might make for a fun trip sometime.

There are a lot of little large mouth bass in those lakes in the WMWR and I've caught some nice size sunfish from Rush lake. Years ago I caught crappie from Lost lake, but nothing recently.
