I took Uncle John and Jacob fishing at Oologah for blue cats. Water temp was 60.5 and shad was pretty easy to catch in 22-25ft of water. We started out fishing a deep channel near a point where I marked a few fish, but they were suspended and not wanting breakfast. We moved to a hump in the middle of the lake and caught a few eaters in 16-22ft of water that were chasing huge schools of small shad. I decided to move shallow and see if the fish were taking advantage of the north wind we had for four days. We picked a spot and marked some good fish and shad on the side image in 2-7ft of water. We caught a couple the first 15 minutes and just as we were trying to decide whether to try a different location a front pole went down with Jacob on it. I looked back and a back pole on the other side went down and Uncle John hooked up with that one. I was getting the net and another pole off the back slammed down for a triple. We got all 3 fish in the boat and took a pic of two of them.
It wasn't long after that Jacob tangled with his personal best of 13 pounds!
It was consistent with multiple doubles for 3 hours and we ended up with 42 good blues. We had a great time and I look forward to our next adventure.
