C2 and KCMasterpiece are in pending our prefish:banghead next week. Our initial attempt was demoralizing and we don't want to Tiger Woods this thing.
I went down first thing this morning. I started down by the dam, scanned to White Horn, and back down and up through 14 mile creek. I did not fish but maybe 12 piles all day. I was just trying to cover some water. I have only been in the river for the last 2 years. I decided to break out. I found larger concentrations of fish below hwy 51. This will be a tough tourney as the fish have to be 10" and I can not seem to crawl over that! I started the morning in HEAVY rain and cover 45 miles of water!
Papa and I launched at Rocky Point after the rains passed. We spider rigged with minnows and caught two rock bass, 5-6 catfish and three black crappie that went close to 6". We never really saw much for fish and and did not fish any brush.
Fished Saturday and Sunday on the lake and I think a catfish tourney is in order LOL , crappie are running scared right now , only because they have heard some of the Best crappie fisherman in Oklahoma will be after them on Saturday, Aug. 29th , The big ones are out there and I know CDC guys and gals will catch'em

Well I guess after a tough wet weekend of prefishing me and Brandon are still coming back for more punishment but hope to weigh in at least one fish. Hope to see all you guy's there. WSD
Ledge and professional will be there.
With the rain that's still forcasted for today and the possibility of showers in the am tomorrow we are looking at only a light breeze. Probably 6 feet above normal. So since we are in Oklahoma, bring your snow gear.
Was nice to see a few of you fellers out there today. Caught this one so far from the ramp that I honestly don't think we will get back to untie her tomorrow. If you come across one tied to a cinder block you are welcome to it. Good luck to all- especially KC Masterpiece!
???.
Did they cancel torn.? Haven't seen any report !!!!!!!
Come on, guys. At least tell us what tactics didn't catch fish. Jeff and Johnny's results look pretty good. What worked and what didn't? Looked like a decent turnout.
That's all I know. I'm use to poor follow up about a tournament in OK forum, lol.
Spider rigging steep banks netted 1-10" and 1-13" fish.Quote:

I think my nervous shaking spooks the fish!
Brian and I caught about 50 crappie with 8 keepers. 5 that were 10 inches and 3 about 12 inches. We spider rigged minnows all day and caught fish everywhere we tried. At 1215 we had 3 keepers that were 10 inches, we moved to a shallow flat with stumps in 8-11 fow and caught 5 keepers in less than an hour. We caught our last fish at 1315 and it was our biggest of the day. We headed back immediately after that to make the weigh in. I wished we would have moved shallower earlier in the day. We also caught about 20 bass that were 8 inches long, 5 catfish. a sand bass, and hooked numerous 5-6 foot gar that we quickly broke off to avoid a total disaster to our spider rigging set up. All in all we had a great day, the quality fish were just found too late in the day.

Dusty and I spider rigged minnows, double dipped jigs, and cast n dragged jigs on banks that had brush....fished from 6ft to 14 ft of water....caught dinks, had two fish that measured out but did not weigh in....caught lots of bass, drum, catfish etc....never could find good fish....even drop shot minnows into brush and standing timber...no luck for us that day

We drop shot minnows and jigs in brush 8-16FOW. We fished the river. I was scanning for laydowns. We caught fish everywhere we pulled into. Like Oddie, we hit probably 40 fish that day, but only 6 measured 10". I fished south of hwy 51 Friday and the Sunday before, almost nothing down there!
