Okatibbee 8-8

**ScottV** · 08-09-2016, 06:54 AM

This time last year SteveJ and I were filling the ironing board regularly at Okatibbee. This summer has been tough. A thermocline has set up with the water temps in the upper 80s, mostly in the deeper waters along the dam. The thermocline is from 10 to 12 ft. I made one pass through there yesterday without a bite. I moved up the lake to where the depth was 10 to 12 ft and started seeing a lot more shad. I wound up keeping 23 good eaters, nothing big but all from 11 inch to 13 inch fish. Most were caught on my 4 push poles with the 3oz weights. I was running the crankbaits near the bottom. Name: 20160808_155233.jpg

I need to show that to the Mrs. She needs to find out what ironing boards are used for. Lucky for me she doesn't read CDC.

At 82 I'm now just a has been, just glad Scott will let me go along with him. I do feel I know a lot about the lake and can offer a little info from time to time but my guru days are long over.
