I fished with Vic and Coco last year pulling cranks and they where that bad or worse it was a tuff day fighting them
we put in at clear creek and was instantly covered with gnats. couldn't get away from them. someone told me yesterday that they were covered with them at enid too.
RDucks and I got into them last year. Pure misery trying to fish. Went straight to Walley world and bought two of those head nets and put in the boat.
i swallowed a mouth full of em at Enid
They were terrible on the south side of Enid on Saturday. Bad enough that I moved to the other side of the lake, even though I was catching fish. Very few on north side of the lake. Fishing was more pleasant, but I never really found the fish again.......
time to go home
The only gnats I want in my boat is Crappielogic gnats lol
Creek that new boat probably needed a good cleaning anyway! Yeah I heard it was horrible......
Supergooser told me the bugs were bad at Sardis. When he got to camp he opened his compartments and the swarmed out. Weren't gnats, though. Tiny skeeters.
Got into them things last weekend. I didn't go this weekend. They were horrible last year and covered up the water when they started to die off. They'll be dying off soon. Usually lasts a few weeks and they're gone.
BTW, they DO NOT taste like chicken!!! :)
Never saw the first one Sunday at Enid.
They were as bad as I've ever seen around holiday Saturday morning....moved down lake and got covered up again. Moved back to holiday around lunch and they were gone. Catchum deep was around lezpedeza pt and they didn't bother him.
Yep, I ate a few also. read somewhere to wipe vanilla extract on your skin and that would keep them away. I found that to be complete BULL Crap. they loved the stuff. My boy and I smelled like home made snow cream though. we went to the bank and swam awhile, to wash the dead ones off. could not get away from them
A friend and I were fishing in the atchafalaya basin about a month ago and they were killing him. Did not bother me at all. I guess I stunk too bad. Anyways, he stilled kicked my butt on catching fish. 11-2.

They like shade when the sun gets up!Back of your head, shoulders, seats. I drove back from Sardis last year and after getting home they were pouring out from the back deck right at the transom.I always carry a head net and cap!
They were at Enid friday
Never got into the gnats Friday but have been run to the other side of the lake on more than one occasion
We've been into them 4 times in the past 3 weeks on calm days. I'm sick of em.
I think they're everywhere. I went outside my camper before daylight this morning and so many came in when I opened the door, I had to get the dust buster out and vacuum them off of the ceiling. That's at the campground at Okatibbee.
You were in the wrong spot then!!!! :)Quote:
