What area of the lake were you fishing

Thanks for a positive report about Keystone! I'm out of town this week but hopefully I can get on em when I get back.

Mid lake in between the Arkansas and Cimarron.

Boy that's a lot of area.

I speak sarcasm too. I'm not very familiar with the lake so not entirely sure, but was on main lake rocky banks around the 64 bridge area. That better?

That's specific enough! Don't add any more details! Besides, tomorrow they will be somewhere else! I'm just glad you were able to catch some in Keystone; gives me hope for the future. Thanks for the report.

Done a little Catfishing on Keystone recently and had a excellent time. The fish were thick and hungry. Shad were very easy to get, one throw and you would have hundreds. Found fish in 22' of water all the way down to 4'. No huge fish, but a lot of good eaters. Large fish was 18.8, second largest was 15.4 and then a ton of 9-12 pound fish. We ended up keeping over 250 pounds of catfish. Bait was cut shad (cut in half and used head on threadfin and larger shad we used head and then mid section) Fished off the bottom with slip cork holding bait a foot to 18" off bottom. They were hammering it and setting the hook themselves using Double Action 8/0 and 5/0 hooks from Team Catfish. Guys if you catfish, these hooks are AWESOME!!!! There were times we had fish on 3 and 4 rods at once. Hoping to get boat back soon, so I can jump back into the crappie fishin. Until then... I will target some cats. We did pass over some good full standing trees in 40 and 50' of water that were loaded with hundreds of fish. Assuming crappie, but didnt toss a jig at them so its just an assumption. Also found several good lay downs I didnt know existed.

Josh, thanks for thinning out those catfish! Maybe now I can find a crappie! Lol And I'm glad to know the shad are plentiful-seemed like last year they were in sorta short supply.
