Great news! You'll have to come fish Oologah with me someday. I like your advice as well....

Yah, they definitely aren't the biggest crappie at Skiatook, but glad you caught a mess. When I was there the other day, I found that it seemed like I caught more in smaller isolated piles over the bigger ones. Thanks for the report.

I think most crappie fisherman have pulled up to a spot that they "know" holds fish, only to have the finder disagree with them, being stubborn as we are we proceed to waste a 1/2 hour in a futile attempt to be smarter than a _ _ _ _.00$ fish finder.

X2 what EB said..... NEVER!!!!!

Well hit Skiatook yesterday for the first time. Put in at Black Dog and headed for the bridge area. Caught about 30 fish all short they ranged from 8-9 1/2" long. Only one over 10". 25 FOW on brush about 2' off bottom. Two fish caught on jigs the rest came off minnows. Will be heading back up there some time to look around some more.
