More than ready! Redge has to fish with one arm tied behind his back so that some of us won't look so bad!:biggrin
I plan on following him and tying up to his boat.

Heads up, I'll probably drop in at some point.
Would love to fish Pine creek again, not sure about the rest of the KS group.
dkv...Come on Down! Keep tuned to this thread for more details. We've been told that the work on the dam has been completed and the Lake area is getting rain. We will continue to monitor the lake levels and keep everyone informed. We have selected the Little River Campgrounds, but we're not sure about which campsite area yet. Spawn should be in full swing during the GEEZER Camp!
Talked to Machine today, said lake was good to go!

Thanks Redge and Machine. Looking forward to another GEEZER Camp in March! Details to follow......
I am putting this on my calendar. I hope that I can join everyone. I will be staying at my cabin.
[ just a warning] looks like crappie jinks and I (6lbtest ) are planning on coming.
tj...great news...tell cj that he has to bring his own Braum's ice cream! We can no longer afford to feed his addiction....see you in March.....dave
Willing to trade ice cream for honey!!!!
DEAL!!!!
Thanks Dave but Hat is bringing ice cream. Looking forward to seeing everyone. What is the name of the park?
CJ...we're trying to get into the Little River Campgrounds on the West side of the Lake (where the showers are!). The Campsites on the North end of this Campground do not have electricity and 13 of the 30 plus sites with electricity are reserved. Our problem is we don't know what the remaining sites look like. I will be fishing on Lake Texoma on February 16-17 and plan on going over to Pine Creek on Sunday the 18th to look at the sites. I will contact the Corps tomorrow and see if I can drive to the remaining sites. If the gates are locked and I can't drive in we will just have to go ahead and make our reservations. Until I leave for Texoma, I will monitor the Corps web site and check on any additional reservations being made before I can get down there. If it starts to fill up, we will need to go ahead and make reservations.
The northern loop of the camp ground is all nonelectric with no shade.
A Loop has 12 50 amp full hook up sites shaded and close to bathrooms.
G loop has 5 30 amp sites with water and electric. Located on waterfront but long walk to bathrooms. Little shade.
E loop has 9 30 amp sites with water ad electric. Near boat ramp. Close to bathrooms.
There is another loop that I think is "H" loop that is all first come first serve. There are 10 or 15 sites or maybe more I don't remember. The sites all have water and electric and are on the water. These sites aren't listed on the COE web page since they are not reservable. Long walk to bath rooms.
There are three campsites on the far East side of the park next to the group shelter that have water and electric but parking and access is limited.
Camped and fished there several times a year for many years till old age and health issues caught up with me.
bigjon, thanks for the information! I think E Loop is going to be our best bet. We usually need about 6 or 7 sites. Several of us are tent campers. Do you know if the sites in E Loop are reasonably suitable for tents? We may also have a couple of travel trailers.
Do you live in that area? Thanks again for you help and come fish with us......dave
E loop is OK for tents and smaller campers or RV's. Fairly level with a few rocks good shade. Lots of raccoons so watch your food. You can check the pad lengths on Recreation.gov. I prefer to camp at one of the walk in sites on H loop but you have to take whatever is open. For some reason E loop is always the last loop to fill up. I live in Tulsa and I would love to come fish with you guys. However I have medical issues that prevent me from fishing or camping any more.
If you can’t come fish with us, come over and have dinner, shoot the breeze.Quote:

Appreciate the invite, but it is a long way to drive from Tulsa to Pine Creek to eat dinner and shoot the breeze. I don't mean to come across as a smart ass but I have daily cancer treatments that pretty much dictate that I stay close to home. Plus I am physically unable to make that long drive any more. My fishing these days is done vicariously through the posts on Crappie.com and other fishing sites. I thoroughly enjoy reading the posts on this site. Hope you have a great geezer camp and catch one for me.
You certainly don’t come across as a smart ***.
Just wanted to make sure you knew you were welcome at the geezer camp.
I understand now, hopefully we will have lots of pics for you.

Looking forward to the pics, they will make my day. I have never met anyone from this site but I know just from reading your posts that I would be more than welcome at your camp, your table or in your boat.
My plans (subject to change) are not to make a reservation for the last weekend in March, but to try and get in one of the H loop walk up sites. If not there I'll find somewhere. These plans are contingent on my RV going down there. If that falls thru I'll be in my tent with the bunch. I do have reservations for about a week down there beginning the 2d of March. I just wanted to go down and explore there and maybe Broken Bow. I'll also get a good feel for the campsites for Geezer Camp later that month. The weekends in March and April are getting reserved pretty fast so there might be a bunch of people on the lake.
I talked to David Stewart, the local Corps person for Pine Creek Lake and he said that I would be able to drive to the Area "E" campgrounds and to the ramp. He said it was the only campgrounds and road open during the Winter months. I will go there on Sunday, February 18th, after my Striper trip to Texoma, and report back on how Area "E" looks for tent camping and RV sites. As I stated in an earlier post, I will monitor the Reservation web site if people start reserving sites before I get down there, we will need to go ahead and reserve sites quickly. Be prepared to reserve a campsite. If you see Area "E" activity on the Reservation website..please send me a text or call me......

I think I met you at the Grizzly jig show. My wife and I were there from Paris, Tx. and you were telling us about this get together at Pine Creek.
We are planning on taking you up on the invite to come up and camp. I saw all the reservations on loop A and figured that was your bunch, so I made a reservation there. We are going up and look at the sites after the 1st. and see if we need to change sites.
See you there.
Jim F.
Well not sure if I can pull it off but if I can put off knee surgery til after camp couple of us jayhawks may come down for 2 or 3 days...if you would keep posting how the reservations are going I'd appreciate it...probably just going to do a tent this time....shortdraw
Crappie Shooter, Great that you folks are coming! We haven't made reservations at Little River yet. Area A has been reserved by other campers for several weeks. We are looking at Area E and as of this morning all nine sites are available. Our concern is that none of us have ever seen the campsites. Most of us are tent campers and need somewhat level areas. I will be at Pine Creek on Sunday, February 18th and will look at all the Area E sites and report back by posting on this Sub-forum. We are monitoring the Recreation.gov web site daily and if someone starts reserving Area E sites, we will alert everyone to go ahead and make their reservations. We will have to just take the risk on the sites. Don't change your reservation until we have more information. Again, glad you can make it!....dave ..... (Would you PM me your phone number?)
DATE CHANGE NOTICE; We had change dates to April 5-8 because of Easter Sunday is April 1st this year. Lake is in good condition. Little River Campgrounds Area E is where we will be camping. The following campsites look good E2, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8 and E9. You need to reserve as soon as possible at Recreation.gov. More info later
I have E4
E7 is reserved
I reserved E5Quote:
