White Oak Lake 5-30-18

Dad and I went to White Oak Lake, near Camden, Wednesday morning and caught them biting pretty good. Kept 25 total and threw back several big boys. Both fish pictured were released to fight again. I don't like them big uns for eating......I prefer the one pounders.

I did best on Crappie Magnet "Greers" and Dad caught his on "Dude Special." He caught more, but I lucked into the big uns! They liked the Grape Ape, as I call it. :)

Oh they're in there. That murky green water grows em big! But, there have been many days when I left saying I was done with Dead Oak.......then I wait a while and go back.

I took my son this morning and we only caught 9, but 5 of them were good uns. GTT

Congrats Good ones.

Yes, that's all I do. I mostly use jigs, but sometimes I use minnows just to see the cork go under. :)

I'd like to fish that lake sometime. I used to have a friend whose family had a cabin on White Oak Lake. He talked about it all the time. His name was Steve Foyle, I think that's how you spell his last name. He died in an electrical accident about 20 years ago. Thought you might know the family. Great job.

That name doesn't ring a bell for me, but there are lots of people living on the lake. My dad and three uncles went in together and bought a cabin on Upper White Oak back in 1985 and did we ever have some times up there fishing, grilling, running trotlines, playing cards, etc.

My father bought several lots on upper White Oak then Built houses that he sold .. He liked to have folks that lived there build them because there are not many Jobs to be had. Back in the 80s Late one evening I caught The Bream and crappie rising on the surface. Using just the hook and worms with no weight I filled a cooler in about 45 minutes before dark

My favorite time to fish White Oak this time of year is from 6 p.m. until dark. It's almost like someone throws a light switch........many many times from 6 o'clock on you can catch em just about anywhere you want to go.

Really nice fish and I totally agree about eating the little one's, but love to catch the big uns.

Looks like some nice ones . :highfive
