Help with Oklahoma trip PLEASE

Kansas boy here. Live just north of the state line.

Thinking about a winter fishing holiday on Tenkiller or Eufaula the second weekend in January of 2011. Going to take my boys out (9,5,2 yrs old). A heated crappie dock would be good on Mama. They're gonna get new ultra lites for Christmas and I'm looking to drown a few minners / jigs.

I noted there is a heated dock on Eufaula at the state park. Anyone have any reports / info?

Noted that Tenkiller has trout fishing below the dam - possible alternitive if the Crappie are not biting. Is there a dock on Tenkiller?

Mama wants to stay in a hotel - any good 'uns in that area? :confused:

Thanks for the help!

Anyone know anything about Pettit Bay cabins?

If you decide to fish for Trout, take a look at this place.

She might enjoy some cabins instead of a Motel room. I'd check these out if I was heading to Tenkiller.

Tenkiller State Park

Belle Star Marina on Eufaula is one of my favorites! I almost always catch some really nice crappie there. the town of Eufaula is pretty close by and has a few hotels there you can stay in.

Trout fishing below the Tenkiller dam can be good. Caught my biggest Trout last January, it was about 17 inches long.

I think we settled on Tenkiller - beautiful country baised on the pictures.

Now, just looking for a hotel.

Found location of 2 docks - http://www.tahlequahchamber.com/form...-Guide2010.pdf

I'm gonna check out those cabins. Thanks for the help.

I have been reading about stripper fishing. Can you do that from the bank below the dam this time of year?

You can striper fish from the bank, but them seem to hold in the deeper water down at the mouth of the river. Where it dumps into the Arkansas River.

You may want to look into Greenleaf for some crappie fishing they have but on dock, but it does produce fish this time of year.

There are fishing docks at sixshooter, burnt cabin, elk creek I believe. Sixshooter, elk creek on east side of the lake, burnt cabin west side.

I would look at staying at Marvels. Its a great place to stay. Me and my family really enjoy it. Great trout fishing also and its buitiful there. Good luck and have fun fishing.

Tenkiller is a great choice, I live here. For jan. dock fishing try caney ridge on the norht end of the lake. keep the 10 in. lenght limt in mind. Your trout idea is a good thought. The trout a fairly easy to catch even for the kids the acess is well maintained and yes marval trout camp would be a nice choice. (there are other things to do there as well). Dave"s bait in gore is a friendly place that will have all you need and when he sees the kids you will get all the info you need.

I fished lower illinois yesterday and me and my father had a blast, got our limits and kept fishing. Trout were jumping everywhere. Was a blast!
