Oologah 12-8-12 Blue Catfish

I took 5 guys fishing saturday in search of catching a trophy and some blues for the dinner table.  We had an east northeast wind 5-12mph, water temp 52ish and air temp mid 40's all day.  It stayed cloudy all day.  Bait was really scattered today, but found some good schools of blues anywhere from 20-58ft deep on channels, ledges and points.  We'd catch a couple at each spot and then we'd have to move on.  Trenton had big fish of the day with a 22 pounder and another in the teens.  Everyone caught fish and had a great time.

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.

Oologah 9-29-12 Blue Catfish

Fish were scattered at all water levels all over the lake. I caught blues in 2-58ft of water. We could not get away from gar stripping our lines today. I have never seen gar in so many locations and all water depths. We were fishing the river channel getting ready to leave and I decided to throw the net to get a few lively fresh shad. Threw and got 2 gar, 2 drum, 2 blues and about 70 gizzard. We the water temp to drop about 10 degrees and then it will group the fish up better. The cormorants are not in the trees yet, only water turkeys. It was a catch 1 or 2 at each area day, but got enough to make a nice dinner. Come on cool weather. Water temp was around 71 today.

Dad and I decided to try out our new green light set up and beat the heat night fishing for crappie. Bite was good right after dark for about 45 minutes and then the wind picked up from the east. Crappie shut off or moved completely and the small blues and sand bass moved in. We were fishing brush on a drop from 17-26 ft deep. The crappie were caught about 7 ft down and the rest were on the edge of the thermocline at 12ish. It was a nice night and it was good to relax catching tonights dinner with my dad.
