Oklahoma Indoor Crappie Fishing Spots
In my search for winter accessible crappie I ran across an article by Bob Bledsoe which started my searching several lakes in Oklahoma to find the spots he talked about.
Here is a statement from the article:
"Boatless anglers can also fish in one of the many heated crappie docks available at some Oklahoma reservoirs. Texoma, Grand, Fort Gibson, Eufaula, Tenkiller, Keystone, Hudson and Oologah are some of the lakes that have heated docks; at these, anglers can fish for a daily or annual fee. There are probably public docks at other Oklahoma lakes as well.
I perused Google and had very little success. Don't know if the crappie barges in Oklahoma are an intentionally well-kept secret or if I'm just a klutz when it comes to putting the right stuff in to do a good search.
I did find some possibilities and will probably call to check them out.
Grandpappy Point-Texoma,Little Mineral -Texoma & Cedar Mills-Texoma were three that popped up in my search. I've heard tales of great crappie fishing at Eufala, but have never been. Apparently Grand Lake is very well-developed and may have several indoor spots, but I couldn't find them.
If any of y'all can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. If it is a "fer piece" from the house it would probably be best if there were accommodations for lodging. Anything over a two hour drive is a "fer piece" for this old codger & the wife may insist on coming and bringing a couple of chihuahuas.
Hope everyone is staying toasty and catching lots of slabs.
I'm not doing real great here in Texas, but am catching a lot of dinks. Sometimes a hundred or more with only three or four keepers. I've read of folks catching lots of crappie and hope they aren't just fish tales. I've seen some pics of nice strings of crappie on the TFF Crappie section, but I don't know if I'm ready to pay a guide or able to navigate some of their creeks or lakes in my kayak. I dread the thought of a dunking in cold water/weather. Might be my last fishing trip, and I'm not in any hurry to depart this good ol' earth.
Wishing all a Happy New Year with lots of "thumps" and the resulting tasty fillets!!
