Thread: Oologah Archives

I'm going to launch at Big Creek on the very N end of Oologah in the morning. I just HAVE to check out what's up the creek.

My fishin buddy and I went out on Oologah Saturday but got a late start, we got there about 9:00 - 9:30. It sure was a pretty day, but I couldn't seem to keep my balance all day from the lack of wind. First we boated around to see if any of the boats in the area were catching fish close to the banks and they said they had caught a few but nothing impressive, mostly small fish. We did see suspended crappie in the creek channel as we boated around. We decided to go try a brush pile in deeper water. We got set up over the pile in 19'-20' and saw fish on the graph. We started catching fish right off and caught 15 keepers in about an hour and a half and missed 4 or 5 fish. Funny thing was we didn't catch any dinks. We had one good fish that was 14 inches and the rest were 10 to 12 inches. The bite stopped about 11:00 - 11:30, so we moved to some other piles and caught about 5 more dinks on two other piles. We caught most of our fish vertical fishin with either straight minnows or jigs tipped with minnows. Seemed like cajun cricket and electric chicken were the best colors today. We did catch a few drop shotting minnows. Most of the fish bit at a few feet off bottom. I wish we had got there earlier than 9:00, we may have caught quite a few more.

Anybody done anything here this week?

Last weekend I saw some guys with several very nice Walleye, caught below the Oologah dam. They were 4-5 pounders! Nice Walleyes!!! I gotta find time to go!!!

Went to strip pits in blue creek yesterday(Sat). I didn't catch but 3 keepers but saw a few guys with nice stringers fishing from the bank. Looked like they were using jigs and or road runner types. They left as i was getting there. I fished from 1pm to 5pm.

Anyone catching crappie on Oologah?

Peke

My wife and me caught 9 last night. Biggest one 2 lbs. in the last 20 minutes of daylight 7ft deep in 8 ft of water in Talala Creek. I caught 15 the night before the same way. the wind died down probaly around 0700 pm each night.

I am new to this site although i have been reading the reports for a while now. I am going to try to make it out to Oologah this tuesday and will probably try the Spencer creek area. I have not had the pleasure of catching the crappie on the bank for many years now due to work and school but am looking forward to getting in on the shallow water action. Any tips on location and depths would be appreciated in that area. I have also heard from some people in the past that the creeks up north like lightning and panther can be productive this time of year. Any input would be great.
