GM,
Normally Lake Hefner can be pretty good. I've been skunked twice, one being 5-9pm yesterday. Previous years the water has been historically low and I think it's hurt the spawn. So, Overholser...

How deep were you fishing? Were you out in a boat or dock fishing?
Thanks,
Steve

MIKE G,
Welcome. Bell Cow does have a decent Crappie population but don't go for Crappie. It contains pure strain Florida Bass, and has for probably 15 years. The current lake record is over 12...

If you go to Skiatook Lake this weekend I would plan on a long wait to launch your boat. Besides all the campers, just as many recreational boats come to ski, jet ski, swim and party for the day....

SKIATOOK is just over 6 feet low. It has steadily been 10 to 12 feet low for a long, long time. This lake can be ok for Crappie. Under the hiway bridges, find some brush. It is an excellent lake for...

If you want flooded timber go to Black Dog. We have limited on Bass in a Tourney there and caught a couple of nice Crappie on crankbaits while bass fishing.
I personally know a Cat man who catches...

The MAIN issue with the flooding is the restrictions put on releases in our Oklahoma Lakes to prevent downstream flooding. Period. Too much rain is too much to manage with restrictions downstream. I...

Hey Reaper, Thanks. I didn't read anything about the Catfish post. I saw new "Hot" Crappie posts, got excited and then found the Cat stuff. No hard feelings and I apologize if I came across as rude....

I really prefer to have Crappie posts on the Crappie thread and the Catfish stuff not on the Crappie thread. There are plenty of Catfish places for those pictures.

Hefner has risen about 5 feet total now from the rains. It has a long ways to go. You can see detailed reports on the Lake Level on the net. Google "Lake Hefner Water Level". This should massively...

There are no "Slab Spots". People who have brush piles catch some Crappie. In my opinion there are too many Hybrid Stripers in Skiatook for the Crappie population to flourish. I've never caught very...

It is a bit of a drive to the East, but do you guys know about the Crappie numbers and quality comiing out of Elk City Lake (near Independence, KS). It's a "Pig Pen".

Sky.
That is special when someone shares so much detail and specifics. I've had to move away from my NE Oklahoma "Green Country" creeks. I had 5 lakes to fish multiple creeks for spawners within 40...

BIGFISHMAMA (and husband)
Is it better early and late, at night or does it vary? How deep are you fishing? Is anyone catching crappie off the rocks around the Marina area or only in the dock? Thanks...

WC. I went the S. side in the State Park due to strong winds. I didn't try the N. Side. I found water too shallow around the banks everywhere I went. Some guy ran me out of the end of the Marina...

Hey wc. Thank you very much. I can do some walking. I use aerial photos online and "scout" as much as I can. It will probably be mid-week before I try the spot but I will post a report. The new...

Hey Slab hunters. I moved from NE OK to the OKC area, sold my boat and had a knee replacement. So, can anyone give me a tip on a bank fishing spot or 2 to try at T-bird? And can anyone give me a...

Ok Nip, before you just show up at the Dealership you need to have a Lawyer call them first. Any Lawyer who will communicate to them that anything short of a full refund will instigate legal action...

Launched in Blue Creek Friday at 4. Fished about 4 different spots with shiners until 8pm. "0" Crappie. Two 1 1/2 pound largemouth. Three people fishing with 6 total rods. I can't even spell Crappyie...

Dr Nip. That is freaking insane. How have you not gone from Dr. Nip to Dr. Jekyl? AFTER you get a motor or a refund I would unleash some terror on that "dealer". Now, due to absolutely excellent...

I launched in Big Creek on Tuesday at 2 pm. Fished up in Big Creek and then went to the river. Multiple spots. Used medium shiners. I did not even get a crappie bite. Totally skunked, not even a...

Well, damn. I've been fishing way too shallow then. On the side, I launched at Birch on Sunday. Fished from 1:30 -7:30 with medium shiners. All over the place, except up the main creek/river. Score...

Thanks Gun, hope you did well Saturday, nobody at Osage Plains did. I caught 2 in 7 hours. One keeper. I moved all around and even fished the concrete by the road. I'm giving up on Copan right now...

OK, took the boat and launched at Washington Cove at 2pm. Fished up in Wash. Cove then a main lake cove. Then just outside the entrance to Endicott's. Then in some standing timber in 5 feet of water....

Let us know some details. Depth. Main lake, coves, creeks, timber or ??? Minnows or jigs or ?? Depth. I personally need all the help/tips I can get. I just got home from Copan, getting ready to post,...

How deep are the Crappie being caught? Is the depth varying much from day to day and colder to warmer temps? Thanks.

This is a new thread for Copan Lake. PLEASE contribute factually. Remember, many people need fish for both health and financial reasons. And the joy of actually "catching" really boosts a persons...

***FYI***. Jims Bait Shop in Nowata appears to be closed down. No signs of life yesterday (Thur 3/20/14) at 1:30. And Allens at Winganon is closed down for good. A 110 mile drive from B'ville to Big...

NEWS,
Rain, winds ranging from E to E/SE to E/NE with Rain this weekend, and hi temps 60"s. If everything has lock-jaw, the Cats should still bite some in sheltered coves, probably out to 5 feet...

Launched from ramp by Tackle Store at 9am. Used Med. Shiners trying for Crappie in the Coves along the S. side of the lake to the West. No Crappie.
Caught 3 Blue cats & 2 Channels from 1 pound to 3...
