I haven’t been down there in year or so but I used to park on alameda and 120th and walk down to the water from there. There’s a gate but you can hop it (it’s legal, I’ve chatted with Norman pd out...

I was afforded some free time this week and checked out a few different lakes before and after the heavy rain. Wes Watkins and Thunderbird were both slow for me, but Shawnee Reservoir was actually...

I've fished the little river at thunderbird a few times over the last couple of weeks. Couple slabs including females with eggs but mostly dinks and not very many of them. Sand bass are biting too...

Yes, that's right.

I've camped in random spots up on Little River many times and have never has any issues or been told that I'm not allowed to do so. I've seen others do the same. You can certainly call the park...

Sorry about your bad luck, bdavis. I caught a few up the little river with minnows 3-5' under a bobber around overhanging willow trees and submerged timber. I could have cleaned up pretty well if I'd...

Thanks, guys. And that'd be a 1970 international scout!

Kayaked up the Little River this evening and caught something worth mentioning. 24.25" and 6.15# weighed at denver corner. Hooked into her trolling minnows on a 1/8oz jig. Personal best for me!
...

Managed to catch a couple 9-10" right around dark this evening trolling rat-l-traps under the twin bridges. The water was practically boiling with 1-2" shad from 7:30-8:30

Well thanks for the feedback and advice everyone. Seems like I'm not the only one having a tough go of it on Tbird, but it appears there's still fish to be had. Armed with that navionics map linked...

I just got a kayak and I've been running all over the lake trying to get on the crappie with no luck. I even got a fish finder thinking it'd help me find structure and that hasn't helped much either...

Anyone been getting out?

Well it's official, the water is over the twin bridges. Saw a guy boating right over them this morning. The poor bank swallows were zipping around wondering where the heck all their nests went...

For those who haven't been out there, here's a video someone took on Saturday showing the twin bridges, fisherman's point, hog creek and some other spots.

Walleye have no black splotches on their sides and no spots on their dorsal fin. Sauger have both. Saugeye have...a little of both. Also, Thunderbird only has saugeye.

Caught a few slabs yesterday afternoon and evening on yellow jigs with black/white swimbaits. Females had eggs.Couldn't tell you much about the depth, structure or cover because I was in a canoe with...

Caught a half dozen sandbass and largemouth this evening on live silversides about 3' under a bobber. It was actually pretty good action between 6:30 and 7:30. Couldn't find the crappie but it was...

Did some bank fishing this early this morning. Caught a couple 10-12 inchers back to back on chartreuse swimbaits at 6:30 am and that was about it. Got home and cleaned the fish before my girlfriend...

Anybody been on the bird? Has the bite started to heat up? BTW r7hunter, I'll PM you with a bank spot that's been good for me in the past.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll follow your leads!

Hello everyone! I frequent this forum (reading far more than posting) and thought someone here might be able to help me out. I volunteer with Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Oklahoma, and my little...

I've had good luck with lipless cranks like 3/4oz blue/chrome rat-l-traps, but I haven't been out to TBird in a month so I can't speak to how they're working right now.

Thanks, I'll be sure to be alert out there. And while I'm on the topic.. I hope everyone here as a fun and safe fourth!

Went out yesterday from 8-11. Just a few largemouth on 2" chartreuse swimbaits, no crapps. Heading up to Grand Lake for the 4th and I'll be trying my luck up there. Fishing report looks good so I'm...

In my experience they tend to congregate around points on the leeward side of the lake (north side when there's a southerly wind). On calm days you can see them popping on the surface too. Problem...

Granted it's only one guy's experience but I've been fishing the bank of t-bird for goin on 5 years now and this has been the slowest spring-early summer I've seen. I had a few good days with a dozen...

There have been big schools of silversides all over lately so catching your own with the cast net is a breeze. I don't often use minnows myself but when I bring my little brother out and the bite is...

Can't go wrong frying them like bigbone said. They also make a mean fish taco if you'd rather bake them. The meat is super flakey and mild like walleye though so they're pretty damn tasty all by...

Bank fished the north side from 2 pm to 6:30 yesterday. Caught a few big females, including one just over 12.5". The highlight though was this 24.5" saugeye caught on a 1/2 oz chrome rat-l-trap.
...

Hit a windy point on the north side last night from 7:30-9. Bagged one keeper crappie and 2 17-18" saugeye. Also 2 dinks and a pumkinseed. All were caught on 1/8 oz yellow jighead with spinner blade...
