Oologah Tournament Dec 15th

DOUG, I am pretty sure no minnows allowed in the tournament. 1 pole w/ no more than 2 artificial baits.....Check the posting of the Fall/Winter CDC Tournament Schudule.......Ranger

Oops. That is true this is a one pole 2 artificial bait tournament. Thanks.

Looks like a decent day so far. Wind 10-15 out of NW and 50's for high. We will continue to monitor the weather.

If I decide to show up and fish even though don't have a chance because I don't know Oolagah or how to crappie fish. Unloading at that ramp will it put me on lake and is it dangerous running around never been on main lake

I used the north Spencer ramp saturday and it is okay, but trim up when you are coming on and off the trailer. I hit one good rock with the prop when loading because I forgot to trim up enough.

Team McClish will be there, won't get to prefish, just showing up Sat. and fishin'.

As we all sit and discussed the Tournamnet Schudule and made plans for the 2012-13 Okie CDC Trail, we all decided at the Classic Meeting and Fish Fry that under no circumstance would we fish a winter time tournament and not air to the side of safety and caution for all involved. After fishing yesterday with Doug and Brian prefishing for Saturdays Oologah Tournament I became very aware of the bad shape the lake was in as far as water levels and ramp access. Only 1 ramp that I am aware of is open on the North end at Spencer Creek and we trailored to RedBud to fish the South end later in the day and thats atleast a 30 minute drive from Spencer so that makes it even more non user freindly. We were able to catch fish in most places we fished but with winds only in the 15 to 20mph range we were awfully limited where we could fish. The 3' rollers and white caps we were not able to hit any main lake piles or ledges which made for a tough day as far as fishability. So with that said Doug I commend you for the decision to postpone til Jan.5, 2013..Hope all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year with family and friends......Ranger

After visiting with EB and Ranger 09, the Oologah tournament is being postponed until Jan. 5th. They are calling for 15-25 mph winds on Saturday and that is treacherous on Oologah. Another thing compounding the isuue is due to the low lake level, several ramps are closed. This eliminates being able to unload at Talala Creek, Blue Creek, Allens Point, or East side. The wind then makes fishing any of these areas impossible because you have to run across the lake to get to them. If the lake was normal we could unload and fish one area then load back up and fish another area. Right now it is either Spencer Creek or the dam area to unload at then you would have to cross the main lake to get to any of the other areas.

Ranger, EB, and I fished up here yesterday in 10-20 mph winds and were VERY limited to where we could fish. We put in at Winganon ramp and fished some in Spencer creek then had to load up and drive all the way to the dam to unload due to the wind not allowing us to get out on the main lake. Gonna be worse Saturday than yesterday. We just had a drowning up here last month due to wind and it is not worth taking the risk.

We are going to shoot for Jan. 5th but that will also depend on weather and lake conditions. Hope to see several of you on the 5th.
