Too many people catchin easy fish from Sardis, Enid and Grenada, so I took my stubborn self to Butla Saturday morning. I was on a mission.
The line at Kelly's crossing "ramp" was long and intense.

So I went back into a cove as far as I could. Fished all the way back into the woods til I hit 3 ft of water and fished some more.

Spent about 3 hours in those woods with only one bite. And missed it cause I'd gotten rather bored and was texting!Doh
Thought for sure that the hungry fish would be hanging out at the fridge

WOW, that water is trashed!!!!
This guy was ready to bite though. Saw four of them. Actually less than I figured I would

So I finally decided to leave. On the way back to the ramp I figured what the heck I should find some flooded fields and give it a shot. I just need one keeper to make all yall shut your moufs. So I found me some prime territory flooded fields, 4' deep.
Just knew I'd find one in this blind ready to ambush

Set out the trolling rods and trolled about another hour with one bite.
So.. Around 5 hours on the water, two bites, zero fish:o Skunked. I'm sure there are some folks that know the lake better and could or did find a few, but I'm not one of them. Good call on canceling the FJ. It's one thing for me to get skunked since I live 15 minutes away. It's another to have 15 boats that traveled across state just to come up fishless.
DD is by far the smartest 2011 lakemaster we have ever had!
I really wasn't that bad. The picture with the fridge was kinda a funk collection spot. Overall the water was fine, just muddy. Last time I went into that cove at Kelly's, it was 5 ft deep. Same spot had 30 ftQuote:

So, does anyone know if the Pleasant Point ramp is open? Hernando Point is a little farther for me.
Well you are now offically the new wb,guess i might get a chance to go one of these days gas prices just to much right now with all the uncertainty going on and the freakin wind.
The only reason I'm picking Arkabutla today is because of the gas prices and it's only 20 miles to the ramp from my house. Otherwise, I would probably be at Sardis or Enid. Just going out for a few hours this afternoon. Maybe $20 in boat gas will get me over to Muskonee or Cane creek.
One of my sons friends caught a 18"on a trot line yesterday cat-fishing in the Coldwater river yesterday.
Went yesterday and cought only 4, but they were nice fish. The largest was 14.5 inches. All had recently spawned and had small amounts of eggs remaining.Attachment 61835
the cleaning board is a 2 x 12.
Making me look bad. Good job Reb
Reb didn't do that, you do that to yourself...... jus' sayin' ;)Quote:
