Tecumseh Lake

Went to Tecumseh lake yesterday to check out Greg's boat and make sure everything was working as should be. It turned out to be a good trip in that there were no events with the boat and everything worked as expected. The water temp was 80 and very very muddy. Tecumseh lake is very shallow and we didn't expect to really catch anything. I ended up catching 2 small crappie and that was it.

Okemah Yesterday

Went to Okemah again. Caught several small fish in the 1-3 lb range. Water temp was 75, clear and sunny air temp in the mid to high 80's. Had about 6 fish total. Pic is Greg with biggest fish of the day. Most of the fish were on a white/char spinnerbait. One on the black/silver shad rap. Just on the outside edges of the grass on the point across from the boat ramp. Fished the cove where the "big'uns" came from but no luck in there yesterday.

Okemah yesterday

Second trip to Okemah this year. First one was around the 1st week of January and was cold windy and didn't produce a single fish. Luckily yesterday was different. We were on the lake about noon and stayed until dark. I ended up catching 5 small bass and one channel catfish. Greg hung a nice fish that jumped and threw his lure, I would guess he was in the 6-7# range. Overall it was a good day, clear skies, mid 80's, water temp was 70.1.

Been negleting the blog

I've been neglecting my blog lately and not updating with recent fishing trips. So here is the scoop. Last week I went with a friend on Thunderbird and was able to table 20 crappies. Had 6 that were in the 1 to 1.5 lb range. Yesterday we went back and were only able to table 4. They were a lot smaller this last trip but they were still in the same spot. They were in 8ft and could not figure out why they were in that spot, there was no structure or any reason we could see for them to be there but they were. We also caught a couple small sand bass but that was about it. Did a little Bass fishing but didn't turn up anything.

Today, this morning, went to Hefner to see if we could catch something and ended up with one small sand bass and one small walleye before the wind changed to the north at about 20-30 mph.

Thunderbird on 3/8/09

Got on the lake about 4pm and decided we were going to try for the largemouths. Went down to the 1st or second cove from the dam on the south side of the lake. Anthony hung one that was a pretty good one and then I caught one that was between 4.5 and 4.75lbs. Anthony did hang another nice one but had equipment failure and it ended up getting away. Wind was low and the water temp was 57.6.

Haven't been

Haven't been to the lake in a while. Went to Hefner a couple weeks ago, it was cold but at least the wind was not bad. Spent a good 2-3 hours fishing along the dam. Trolled some crankbaits hoping to come up with a Walleye but no luck. Fished the dam, the lighthouse, and the marina near the lighthouse for large and/or smallmouths and didn't turn up anything. Didn't even get a hit the entire time we fished. Better luck next time.

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.
