Thread: Oologah Archives

Probably shouldn't admit this with the tourney coming up but Dennis and I snuck out there this morning under cover of darkness and fished until noon. With 2 rods in hand and 3/4 of my mind needed to run the TM I caught a triple within the first minute and blue/chartruese and pink/ black kept me busy for 2 hours. Dennis was drowning minners and I had him down 20 to 2 at one point. When they turned off my jigs I converted and caught hitchhikers on a drop shot minnow rig the rest of the morning. When we ran out of minnows I tried jigs for 30 minutes and couldn't buy a bite. We hit some new to us piles today and found fish on the 4 that we fished- in from 12-30 fow. First time in a long time that I used 2 clickers. The first one read 147 total and the second counted 74 between 10-13". Certainly the best keeper to dink ratio I have had on Oologah in the past 4 years. Kinda glad we ran out of minnows when we did- it was hot out there and very little wind. My 5 year old grandson had a great time helping me clean fish. He was the guy who shoved the carcass and skins etc into the bucket as I cleaned each fish. I about had him convinced that we needed to use my big Filipino knife on these slabs but the AA worked fine.
