Thread: Oologah Archives

Thanks Redge- I'm feeling pretty blessed right now to be catching fish in a boat stable enuf to bring the family along. Fished today with my son, Zeke (crappiefool41) and caught 126 total. We ran two clickers- one for dinks and one for fish over 10" and ran about a 2:1 ratio. We were catch and release all day today, figuring that gave us a little more time on the water- turned loose a lot of happy 12" crappie! Caught two fish that I wish I had taken the time to photograph- about an 8" black crappie, my first on Oo and an 11" snow white crappie with zero markings, also a first for me. I haven't had any luck with plastics for a month so I went old school and did all right with my Oologah Orange tho I stuck with shiners most of the day. We had to move around a lot today but every pile we hit produced fish. As soon as we dropped there would be maybe a 20-30 minute feeding frenzy followed by a dramatic slow down so we moved on and repeated the process. We had some real pole bangers today with the hardest thumps I have felt since spring. On the other hand we have never had so many hitchhikers either. I think we would have caught a lot more once the word got out that we were giving away free minnows along with a thrill ride to the surface to see the world but I don't think fish hear very well - maybe because their ears are full of water.
