Sportsman's Lake (Seminole)

Went to Sportsman's lake yesterday (6/22). Got to the lake around 3:30'ish and fished until almost dark. We didn't do any good, could catch Bluegill all day on a small jig throwing at the bank but that was about it.

My trolling motor quit on me so we didn't get to fish the hour before dark and this will put me out of commission as far as fishing from the boat for a while.

Lake Hefner fishing

Went to lake Hefner yesterday, it was mostly cloudy a good part of the day and the temp was in the low 90's. The water surface temp was in the mid 80's.

We got on the lake about 3pm and fishing until just before dark. We started trying out the walleye action to see if we could catch us a few big enough to eat but we didn't turn up anything.

We then started Bass fishing on the S side of the lake on the shores around the golf course and didn't turn up anything. We decided to try out some smallmouth and went over to the marinas around the restaurants on the E side of the lake. Anthony, my fishing partner, was able to hang a nice fish but it jumped and threw his lure. He was able to land 1 small largemouth and 1 small smallmouth along with a small bluegill. The only think I was able to hook into was a small bluegill.

I've been wanting to complete what I call the "Grand Slam" of Oklahoma game fish where I catch every game fish in the state. So far there are only 2 fish that I have yet to catch to complete my goal, the smallmouth bass and trout. I'm not counting trout since they are a baitfish in my book, haha.

Sportsman's Lake (Seminole)

Went to Sportsman's Lake yesterday, it was very windy and we took a boat with only a trolling motor for power and needless to say it wasn't enough to hold us against the wind. We found a small cove that we could fish around in and stay out of the wind but that really limited us.

At about 8pm'ish the wind broke and allowed us to get out of our cove and fish around. We only caught one fish but it was a good one. 4.25 lbs bass. That was the only fish and caught him on a windy point about 6ft deep on a purple worm.
