Lake Hefner

I have in the past used my permit for two boats. I have a ski boat that i did not ever put the stickers on and i would just carry them in a ziplock with me when i was using my fishing boat.....but, like luck always runs....it would have probably caught up with me. I just buy them for my bass boat and put the stickers on it now....I have been fishing Hefner by boat since 1986 and have never been asked to produce a permit by ocpd....I was not going to buy one last year...but i figured if I had boat trouble and needed a tow by the police boat...i better have a permit...I got a tow from the lake ranger last year at eufaula and they collected all my information on my boat and registration for their paperwork....pays to be prepared!

Does Carl sell permits?.....Last i checked he did not sell them

I thought I bought them from him last year? Maybe it was at BPS. FunMart at NW hiway and Meridiam used to sell them too.

well....maybe i am wrong....I just know the last time I was there...He had a sign on the door saying he did not have any?????? I just have always gotten them at the funmart

I am wrong. I just talked to Carl's and Brandon said that he did not have them yet. He suggested Academy at the front desk, Funmart or Walmart and you have to go to the Sptg goods dept. So I am headed to Academy.

I purchased the boat permit yesterday and got my stickers. There is no mention of boat registration number needed on the permit. I wonder if a person could put one set of stickers on 2 boats? You get 2 sets and put one set on the drivers side. I wonder if you could do that w/o getting in trouble????? May better to put in ziplock and always carry with you. Anybody have any thoughts on this?????????

I used to always just carry them in the ziplock with me between the two boats...But, like I mentioned before I never got checked....since 1986!....The worst thing that could happen is you get checked and have to actually put them on.....

Yes,that was my thoughts too. They boat police can't really hang you on anything if you tell them you have not gotten around to attaching them. Although they will probably stand over you while you attach them.

Well, I went today around 3pm and fish till 5:30pm along the dam.

I tried all kinds of colors and my home tie jigs also. All we caught are couple of sandbass and my dad caught only 1 crappie. I really don't know where they are at or they may not be biting at all, really slow today. I saw a boat out there at the big bend but he didn't catch anything.

I was the boat at the big bend and we ended up catching four crappie and three sandbass. Two of the crappie were skinners but overall fishing was not good at all. I was marking alot of fish between 35 to 45' but they had lockjaw, I tried everything from my homespun jigs to a variety of plastics, hopefully tomorrow will produce a little more im going to also try some minnows tomorrow. Will let ya know, good luck to all.....
