Oologah 11/23/12 Blue Catfish

Took my dad out on a windy day on Oologah. Bait was a little more difficult this morning and had more hookers than chunkers than I would have liked. We decided to hit a few areas I had been eying looking at navionics on my phone during a Thanksgiving day coma. Got there and the lake was getting a little dicey. Anchored up, caught a few small ones, and bam the north wind really started gusting taking a few over the bow. Time to head to an area a little more protected. Graphed for about an hour and found what I was looking for...broken up bait with blues around them on the 2d and on both sides with the side scan. Anchored up and for the next 2 hours we flat wore them out. Dad set a banana on my seat for a snack as we were baiting rods and I didn't get to eat it for at least an hour. I was cutting bait, netting fish, hooking bait, netting fish, tossing lines out, netting fish, and even reeled in a few myself. Had a blast with my dad and then brought home a few and enjoyed a nice meal with family.
Water temp 54 degrees with a strong NW wind. All fish caught deeper than 25'. I only took one pic today and should have set the video camera.

Took guests Joey and Tommy out to Oologah this morning. Bait was easy where the wind was blowing in at about 15ft deep. Water temp was in the mid 50's. Joey had never caught a blue cat before today. We didn't end up with any giants, but did release a 12 pounder. We caught most of our fish anchored up on drop offs at 20-45ft. Some came early on a shallow wind blown point. We caught around 40 and they kept 28 today.

Took my brother and father this morning doing a little scouting on some areas that should be holding fish as the water temp drops. It is at 57-60 degrees now. The fish biting well in the 16-24ft range where the north wind was blowing in. We left the fish biting in several areas to go scout others. We kept 15 for a family dinner. Even got a nice flattie on cut shad as a bonus. It was great to get out for a morning with my dad and brother. Good times and nice weather. The blue cat are really starting to group up and put the feed on.
