Northern Oklahoma Lakes

[TKE381]

Anyone had luck on crappie this year. I've hit them very sparactic, but the temps are still in the low 50's. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you fished Eucha yet this year? Any luck? How about Lake Hudson, is that a good lake?

Re: Northern Oklahoma Lakes

I am more north central (Stillwater Area). I fish Sooner, Keystone, Carl Blackwell, Kaw, and sometimes Grand and and Oolagah. I have been to hudson several years ago. I remember it being a good lake, but crowded in the summer. (like all lakes in Oklahoma). Eufaula is a great lake, but I rarely get down there. <br /><br />Right now the crappie seem to be staging up in the 8 foot area near drops and cover, but I have caught a few very shallow too. Temps two days ago were in the 50-52 range (surface). I suspect with the near 80 degree temps this week it will get the crappie moving again. <br /><br />Then it's bass season. I might try Hybrid fishing up at sooner this summer, but I have never done that so I'll have to learn the ropes.<br /><br />Nate, I take it you are a fireman? I am with the Stillwater PD. Liked the website link..... NEVER FORGET!

Re: Northern Oklahoma Lakes

Don't go to Cushing Lake (aka to me as Lake Cast Alot have never caught a fish there) have you been up to Boomer or down to stroud or Chandler/Bellcow? Lone Chimney was supposed to be good but alot of timber. I also heard Pawnee lake is ok

Re: Northern Oklahoma Lakes

Jim, I just wrote you a long winded reply and it looks like I screwed up somehow since it didn't post. <br /><br />Summary:<br /><br />Cushing Lake - I agree, probably won't be back there.<br /><br />Boomer - Good for bass, crappie (but very small)<br /><br />Bell Cow - Where the h*%$? Didn't even know it was there. I'll have to get down there.<br /><br /><br />Where do you work out of? I'm with SPD.

Well, I'll be. I need to bring you 137 to look at (horrible squeak). We can talk fishing then.
