Thread: Oklahoma City Waters 2017

Went to TBird over the weekend. That cold front messed us up. Ran up the river. Nothing. Caught a few dinks near a marina. Hopefully things pick up after all the rain we get this week.

Fished on Saturday afternoon, on the East side of the dam, off the rocks. I caught some walleyes, sand bass and 1 slab.

Tried Overholser before the rain. No crappie, but got a number of bluegills and perch. Other guys doing NG, except guys throwing shrimp were getting an occasional hybrid and some small sandies.

I tried yesterday evening and this morning caught nothing lost tackle in the rocks though frustrating i need to use stronger line

The spawn is close. I can feel it. I am hoping this rain will raise the hefner lake level a bit. Actually, I hope they have to let some water out of canton after all this rain and fill Hefner up. there are some good crappie spots I know of when the lake is full.

I hooked a nice walleye didn't have any pliers or gloves so I grabbed my line to pull it up and broke it off was fishing with six pound line that needed to be changed out a rookie mistake

My friend and I caught some walleyes between 20" - 25". We fished right at you park on the east side of the dam. The bites are best around 8-9 AM and 3-4 PM. We caught more fish on windy and cloudy day (Saturday). We just caught a few sand-bass on Sunday.

It's good to have a net when walleye fishing. But you can reach down and grab them under the gills. The big ones have a pointy gill plate so you have to watch out for it sticking you. Just grab them right next to the jaw inside the gill though. Like this
