Thread: Oologah Archives

We got out to fish a little while yesterday morning. We fished from 0730 to 1030 on the south end of the lake. Would have fished longer but needed to put new bunk boards on my buddies boat. We caught about 30 fish with 10 keepers over 10 inches. Biggest fish was 14 inches and weighed maybe 1 1/2, didn't weigh it. Was disappointed in overall size, lots of 3-4 inch fish. We must have caught some of those baby crappie that Schifendecker caught in his net. That was an interesting story, maybe that is what those fish we were seeing on the ledges were. I sure couldn't understand that many shad and not a hungry crappie with them. Water temp was 53.8 and we fished strictly with jigs. Best colors were electric chicken and black/chartruese. All caught over brush, none on my favorite ledges. Hope to see several of you next Sat. at our tournament.

had a half day. Fished Will Rogers area. Catching suspended fish 20-22fow. BLue and chart minnow thing from wingnan bait. Just finding a ball on graph and fishing them. Those are nice baits. The plastic is a little soft. Wind was tough. Lots of dinks.

Inspiring picture! Thanks for posting it. I have heard of following bait balls and swimming jigs through em but how do you recognize which ones are crappie or have crappie feeding on em? Keep your flotation gear handy in that wind Ledge. As you know that area can get some huge rollers in a hurry.

hit and miss. shad will be a bunch of yellow and red. sometimes you can see the arcs (crappie) in them. when the crappie are in thick, like they were, you will see blue layers relating to the bottom. yesterday the layer was 3' thick. that is about average of what i like to see. you will know very quick if they are bitting crappie.

this is what it looks like on DS. did not take a picture of sonar.

This is what make structure scan so great, you can distinguish the crappie from the baitfish. Also it shows you the brush. Good picture Ledge! EB
