Oologah 10-20-11

It's been a while since I posted.  We moved to Owasso, OK the first week of July and I have not been fishing much and it has not been good when I have gone.  The water temp is coming down and the fish are biting now though.
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!
Another double.

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.
