Oologah 1-7-12

Jacob, John, and Ben joined me on Oologah today.  John and Jacob were running late, so Ben and I went to catch bait.  The fourth throw was the ticket and we had about 100 large gizzards ready for catching some cats.  The air temp was in the low 30's warming up to the high 40's for the day.  Wind was gusty to 25mph from the NE-NW and water temp was 41-43.
We picked John and Jacob up at 8:30 and headed to where we had caught them last weekend since the wind was and temps were the same.  The graph lit up, but the fish were suspended and not feeding.  We tried for a little bit and caught a few eater sized fish.  Graphed a few more areas, but decided to go try an area I have been meaning to look at the last few trips.  Graphed some good fish and caught a handful of eaters before heading to another area.  The next area was a dropoff near the channel and that was the ticket.  We stayed there catching good fish until time to leave.  Nothing huge today, but some really good fish and lots of fun.  I forgot to get pics today.

Scott was in town from PNG and wanted to catch a trophy catfish while he was in town.  We got to the lake around 8:15 and it took a while to get bait.  Air temp was in the lower 30's and got to the high 40's for the day.  Water temp was 41-44. 
Graphed a few areas and tried an area that drops from 4ft to 22ft, but only caught a few small eaters.  Took off to graph the channel and marked a ton of fish, but only caught a couple there, so we headed to a wind blown point and that was the ticket for more and larger feeding fish.  Ben with his new personal best.

And then Scott not to be outdone by his brother broke his personal best and had big fish for the day.

It was a great day on the water with good friends and my father.  We had two other good fish on, but they both found their way in a tree and could not be freed.
