Oklahoma road trip

I went to Oklahoma yesterday to hop in the boat for a Wister trip the weather wasn’t the best but we did wack some decent fish. Started in the lake until the wind pushed us to the Fourch and into Holson Creek and the fish were definitely there it was still a little tough but without Livescope almost impossible to target the fish we ended up catching. The 9’ Todd Huckabee Hot Rod rigged up with K9 braid and Timmy Toms 1/16 weedless with Beaver Bottom Baits in an Ashdown Smackdown , White Lightening, Frosted Mug and WSD's most successful today Milkweed. Fishing submerged trees in 10-16 fow. All the Tackle we used you can get at Robs Tackle in Simple Simons in Heavner. Thank you WSD for the invite . Was great trip fishing with one of the best fishermen I ever fished with .Thanks for the baits too . Always great when I can visit with great fishermen and don't have to run the boat . You will always be welcome to visit Arkansas and you can run my boat .:fish About worn completely out by the time I rolled into Russellville last night . But it was well worth the trip .. A road trip to Oklahoma to fish all day and back in one day was rough on an old guy .

Thanks for the report. Have heard good things about the lake but have never been there. Late last spring we were planning a trip and it rained over three inches so we called it off.

I mostly dip using longer rods but that Hot Rod is good for flipping a jig out with a spinning reel . I will be using one this winter with a spinning reel fishing brush piles in 25' to 50' on Dardanelle for sure . Maybe you can make a short road trip down here this winter . Always an extra seat in my boat for you .

Nimrod I know your preference in jig selection but was interested in your thoughts on the Beaver Bottoms you used at Wister. I have tried them and other larger bodies but seem to fall back to the 2-inch or smaller sized ones. Does water clarity matter?

I think it is more what mood the fish are in . We caught fish with those Beaver Bottom baits but just let the fish tell ya . The Livescope will let you see how they react . Some days they follow your bait and other days they seem to hit anything .

Would love it..Family and church things this time of year..High water on our lakes mean out standing fishing in the fall..Fish have full bellies...

Got an invite up here to..Clear lake fishing have to pitch or cast here..Fish are spooky..
See folks pull their trolling motor over brush and wonder why fish don't bite..With their motor running..We catch a limit...
