Thunderbird 2/27/2010

Was a nice day on the water, the wind was low and it was in the mid to upper 50's. Water temp was around 41.8 degrees. I got there before Greg and looked at the humps we fish for sandbass, there was no activity on them. We bass fished for a little while with no luck and even looked at the brush for crappie with no luck there either.

We just couldn't seem to find the fish, I have no idea where they were, we didn't even see any shad anywhere. It was a tough day without a single bite but it was nice to get out on the water.

Thunderbird 10/31 & 11/1

Went to Thunderbird on Fri and Sat. Friday the lake was covered with birds and the sand bass were exploding on top all over the lake for about 2 hours in the evening. On Sat there were not many birds on the water at all and the sand bass didn't repeat the top action like they did the evening before. Water temp was 67.

I'm still here

I've been neglecting making posts lately and I'm making an effort to be more active with posting.

Thursday I went fishing with Dad on Oolagah lake and it was tough, we tried Bass, Sandbass, and Crappie. The lake appears to be turning over, the water level was 3ft high and falling and the water temps are cooling now that fall is taking hold. Not exactly the best conditions however, we were able to pull some very nice slab crappie out of some brush piles. Oolagah is full of monster crappie. We fished from about noon until around 5:30. We had to work for the fish we caught but ended up with 1 sandbass and about 5 big crappie.

Friday we went back to Oolagah at the crack of dawn and attempted Bass, Sandbass, and Crappie again. This time we were not able to turn up anything worth keeping. We were not even able to get a Bass to strike. Trolled for Sandbass to no avail and hit the brush piles again but only turned up a few small crappie.
