Thread: Okatibbee 11-2

Good job... I broke a tip on the same rod today catching one of the baby 14" MO crappie. A 14" up here might weight 1 1/4.

Ha, those 8' B&M trolling rods are as limber as a spinning rod. I tried to lift a 1/2 lb catfish in with it and "snap".

Glad you caught some fish but man, that shouldnta broke that rod.

Well guys, I ain't too sure about this longlining thing. I caught one decent crappie and several dinks, one catfish and several stumps. A busy of mine was pulling cranks and he wasn't doing much either. Maybe they just weren't biting.

Took my daughter to Wolf today, Scott. We longlined from 10:00 till 2:00. Hooked one fish. Started fishing 5' water around trees single poling and caught 8 good ones in about two hours. Wrong time of day? I don't know.

There's always MINNERS!!!Thumbs Up

I'm still trying to get the technique down. Plus I didn't fish but about 4 hrs. I think I'd do better at Okatibbee spider rigging jigs along the stumps on the creek channel.

I had to give up on ll'n and go back to what I knew would keep my daughter happy. I'm like you, trying to learn, and it is hard to concentrate on ll when you know you can catch fishes the old way.
