Skiatook 10-19-14 Hybrid Stripers and White Bass

It's been a couple of months since I've been able to be on the water because of my other job. It was really nice to get out and enjoy some family time! We kept the gut hooked ones for dinner later this week.

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.

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.

Oologah 11/17/12 Blue Catfish

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.
