Thread: Oologah Archives

Took an 86yrs young friend with me today and we managed 16 keepers. We fished mostly brush 12 to 8ft deep with minnows, hit and run. Instead of the 5 or 6 per pile we would only manage 0 to 2. Using minnows and started on the south side of kite hill and moved towards blue creek as the day progressed. Only got a couple of bites after 12:00pm. Water temp averaged 70 degrees.

Been on vacation this week, so I'm able to fish and post.

Went out 10/10 around 10am, and started out hammering them. Within an hour I had 8 nice fish, and then I had to fish for them. I ended the day with 17, but I had to fish until 6pm and I rotated between three different brushpiles. Caught them from 6-12ft deep on blk/wht and blk/yellow/wht tube jigs.

Made it out again today, and didn't do as well. I fished from 2pm-7pm and ended up with 6 nice keepers that lived to see another day. Some of the areas that yielded fish yesterday had nothing for me today. Fished the spencer creek area both days.

The fish seem to be coming in waves. I might catch two or three nice fish and then nothing, and 45min later I'll catch 2-3 more. They definitely are no longer schooling up, so running and gunning my be the best way to catch a mess. It should get better as the water temp continues to cool.

What is the Latest for oolagah??

I paid part of my dues for Oologah Monday. Fished Hawthorn, Kite Hill and Goat Island for four hours, never got a bite fished water depth of 8'-25'. When I put in there were 4 boats at Hawthorn & 3 at Redbud. Two or more boats were fishing for cat fish saw one land a cat about 24" long. The wind came from all directions and from 0 mph one minute them 15mph the next.

I'm new to fishing for crappie in the fall, so guess I still have more dues to pay.

Just getting a chance to post but I made it out 10/14 and 10/16, and did pretty good both days. I had 25 good fish on 10/14, and caught 18 nice fish on 10/16. I was jig fishing both days at 10-12ft deep. I was too lazy to take pics of the fish on friday caused I fished for about 9 hours. However, I took a shorter trip on Sunday and here is a pic of those fish.

Went out for 4 hrs today and brought home 15 good one. One jig fish and the rest minnas. Caught around 30. Blue creek brush in 18 ft on the bottom.

Hmmm.... getting deeper, thanks for the report.

I am new to the Forum but not new To Oologah Lake. I have fished it off and on since the mid 70's. (that would make me an older Model. lol). I Fish Exclusively for Crappie. Had Lots of Vacation Days in October and have been Catchin Fish in Blue Creek 10-12 FOW bigger fish Right on the Bottom on smallish minnows a few on jigs but mostly minnows. Avg probably 10-15 keepers per trip lots of Dinks. Did get shut out cpl of days when the wind was just too much
But my Question is Has the Deparment of Wildlife started Stocking Black Crappie in Oologah? I had NEVER caught a black crappie in Oologah until about 5 years ago i Caught 1 and i mean 1 up near Hawthorn
I know Black Crappie Thrive in Clearer Water and Oologah has Cleard alot over the Years due to age i guess but this fall i have been catchin a cpl every trip. Several have been keepers(10"+) and some were dinks suggesting they have spawned the last few years or have been stocked.

Just Curious anyone else catchin any Black Crappie or is it just a fluke
