Thunderbird yesterday

It was a scorcher. I think the heat index hit 105, the water temp was in the 90's all day. We got on the water around 11am and stayed until dark. Caught just about everything the lake has to offer. Ended up cleaning 2 nice saugeye, 2 cats, and about 1/2 dozen sandbass. Also caught 2 small crappie, 1 small bass, and several small sandbass. Greg had the big fish with his 22" saugeye.

Okemah on Father's Day

Was little windy, the water temps were 89 in the shallow calm parts of the lake and 86 on the wind blown side of the lake. Picked up 4 small fish 13" to 14". Phil caught one small one about 10" or so. That was it. Caught all the fish but one after the sun went below the horizon. It was a tough day, just couldn't seem to buy a bite until almost dark. Couldn't find a big one either.

Okemah Friday

Had a decent day on Okemah, was a little windy but turned out to be a productive day. Landed 2 nice fish and one small one. Greg wasn't so lucky. Had a couple decent fish get loose as well. One weighed in at 3.5 lbs and the other at 4.0

Okemah Yesterday

Went to Okemah again yesterday, caught several little ones. Only had one of any size, was about 3lbs. Caught fish on Black/Blue jig and watermelon lizards.

Okemah yesterday

Was a tough one on Okemah, only tunred up 3 small bass. Nothing over 2 lbs. Just couldn't get them to bite anything.

Thunderbird

Went to Thunderbird today. Was a nice change from the long drive to Okemah. When we got to the lake it had started raining on us so we went ahead and unloaded the boat and headed out. We trolled around our normal path and by the time we got to the other side of the point the rain had stopped. Greg picked up a small sandbass and I picked up a small crappie while we were trolling. We decided to come back to the bank and do some bass fishing. No sooner than we go back to the bank and the sandbass started busting the top in front of the boat. I was able to get one cast into them before they stopped and picked up one small one. We then went to the southwest end of the lake and started bass fishing again. I picked up a small saugeye on a crankbait and then I switched to a watermelon lizard to fish the upcoming sticks. My lizard netted me one nice 22" saugeye. We were able to pick up several small bass throughout the day and later in the day the bass started busting on top in the sticks, unfortunately all the ones we saw were small. Overall it turned out to be a nice day and I got a meal out of it.
