Went to GF yesterday with my dad, man was it windy :mad: Tried lower end of the lake, cove creek and the big dike with little success. the water temp was 54 there. Might try later as it warms up. Went back to middle fork and hill creek and finally caught some :D the water temp there was 60, go figure.
Worked the brush along the shoreline, caught 6 keepers and one 16" walleye.
Dad's chompin at the bit to go back.
D-ray I think this weekend and next week should really be good on the north end of the lake so be sure to take your Dad back up there.
I agree Creekslick, unless they change the forcast this weekend looks good, have you tried chocktaw or the far end of devil's fork? middlefork and hillcreek are getting fished pretty heavily.
Good job on getting your dad out fishing....keep up the good work
No I have been fishing the main lake. All I have been doing is trolling.Quote:

I guess it might have something to do with the water debth or the sheer size of cove creek. Something else that was different was the water clarity. some of the brush we were in was water that was 6 to 8 ft deep and you could see all the way to the bottom.
Way to go D-Ray nice catch, always good to get out with your Dad on the water. CP
Good to see you out with your dad, I know he's really been wantin' to go. I bet he's the one that caught all the fish :D:D:D
Sounds like you've got him bit now...won't be able to get him out of your boat!:D Thanks for the report and pics...
Glad you had a good time with your dad. Good to see a G3 in the back ground :DQuote:

I'd give anything to have just one more fishing trip with my Daddy.
Take him while you still can, buddy.

All you boys follow the example and load us Dads in the boat and take us fishing. It is also permissable for you to pick up the tab....:D
I would love to be able to take my Dad fishing again. He has been gone 20 years and I still miss him.
Taking my dad fishing on Greers Ferry tomorrow. It will only be our second trip together.
Your stained water is always going to warm faster than the clear stuff.Quote:

Gotta chase the green carp for the derby this weekend. I had the long rod in my hands the last couple of days with marginal sucess. Devil's fork is pumping with current and we saw very few crappie's landed in there on the flats. Sugar Creek Camp area was slow as well.
Fished very hard yesterday and today not much luck. Wind has been rough. Caught 18 today, good crappie but not major slabs. Everyone of them were males. Fished in BB, front eadge of BB and out in deeper water. Everyone we caught was out in water that was 5 to 10 feet. No one catching any females. I am not expert, but I think it is overwith for this year. There may be a few stragglers, but for the most part I think we are through with the spawn, good or bad.....good I hope. What do you guys think?:confused::confused::rolleyes:
I went out to choctaw this morning and fished until about noon. My dad and I just finished cleaning 13 big slabs and all except two were females with eggs. We caught all the big ones in 10-20FOW.Quote:

D-Ray save some slabs for me to catch when I come back.

Thanks for the info.
D-Ray, don’t tell them the will leave the state.Tell Longarm to keep up the good work.
