Thread: 2015 SW Okla Lake reports

I had a few hours between chores yesterday and got out to explore some new water for me. It's gonna be my new close to me lake. Lawtonka. I got to be on the water about 2.5 hours so didn't cover much ground. I did find quite a bit of structure and some brushpiles. Some even had fish on the piles. It remains to be seen how decent the crappie fishing is. They have a length limit - I think it's 8". The lake looks nice, with some beautiful scenery in the background. Lots of great rock structure. I'll be targeting crappie, of course, but it's a great saugeye, walleye and smallmouth lake and i basically fish the same for all species - jigs. The current state record smallmouth comes from here, caught in 2012 - weighed 8-7. Since I was exploring I didn't even wet a line. Water temp was 44° and visibility was about 4'. I'll be back. Here's a photo of the smallie.

I do remember when this was caught. Made me want to small mouth fish, lol.
