Made it out this afternoon. Even fighting the wind I managed to catch over 50 but only 19 keepers. Glad to see they are moving back to the shallower trees makes 'em easier to find on windy days.

Went out to Shell with my daughter last Sunday for a few hours. She caught quite a few dinks off the intake tower. We went down the East creek arm and found some on the brush piles 5 to 6 FOW. Fish were in the top 2 to 3 feet. Most were typical dinks but there were a couple nicer ones.
Went out yesterday kept 20 between 8 and 13 inches threw back at least as many as I kept
Went out Friday surface temp was 65 so I tried shallow for most of the day found a few in 2-6 fow. On the way back to the ramp I decided to try around where the old docks used to be. Found some structure in 17-21 fow and pulled in 6 12-14" and lost 2 more that size before I could get 'em in the boat. Wound up with 12 keepers between 8-14"
dinobot...shell lake is over by sand springs right?
Yes, it's north west of Sand Springs. If you take the airport road it takes you around the airport then right to the dam. If you take 177th turn right on shell creek road and follow it across the dam. Lake is full of dinks but you can find some nice slabs there too. I'm usually out there on Fridays. There is a nice bait and tackle shop called woody's just a couple miles away at 209th and the highway if ya need to get anything on the way. There is a $2.00 fee for fishing the lake. If you ever make it out there and see a blue over silver 54 Lone Star aluminum v with an 82 9.9hp or 46 5hp Johnson pull up and say hi.
Hey Dinobot,
Is the $2 all that is required to launch a boat or do you also have to get a permit from the City?
Just the $2.00 fee there is a pay box at the ramp. It's kind of a honor system no envelopes or tags to fill out and hang you just drop your money in the box and launch. It's actually a $2.00 per person fishing fee but boat launch is included.
Thanks! I was over that way today on other business and when I was done, I decided to make a little detour to check it out. A good looking lake from what I could see, but the access to the ramp looked rough! :eek: I think I saw a flat bottomed boat in the bottom of that pothole! Doh
