Kingston’s Fuller going to the Dance!

by

Jay Fuller of Kingston Oklahoma qualifies for the 2008 Bassmaster ClassicLake Texoma record holder and Kingston native Jay Fuller is headed to the Big Dance – the Bassmaster Classic!

As the current record holder for Texoma smallmouth bass, his goal has always been to make it to the Bassmaster Classic. As a member of Team Alberta, Jay racked up numerous regional championships and captured 3rd place in the 2007 Central Opens, qualifying him for the Classic. He finished in the money in all three professional BASS tournaments he entered including one Top 10 finish. In addition, he will be featured in an upcoming Outdoor Oklahoma TV show about fishing for Lake Texoma smallmouth bass.

“It’s very exciting for me, just a dream come true to be able to fish the Classic. I really have to pinch myself sometimes still because I am actually going. I’m going to try to stay calm about it and go out there and do my thing fishing. It probably won’t hit me until I’m out there and lined up with all the big names in bass fishing.”

“I think everyone told me that I ought to be grateful that I am there and that I’ve accomplished a lot by being there but that’s not good enough for me. A Top-10 finish would be successful, but I want to swing for the fences – I want to come home as the next Bassmaster Classic Champ.”

Jay has lined up a number of sponsors to help him swing for the fences including Berkley, Abu Garcia, Fenwick, Alberta Creek Resort & Marina and others. If you would like to help Jay swing for the fences, please contact us here at info@oklahomafishingguides.com.

Broken Bow Bass Report

by

Lake Broken Bow Oklahoma fishing guide Bryce Archey.Fishing guide Bryce Archey sends us this report from Lake Broken Bow:

Fishing has been excellent with quality largemouth being caught. The last couple of outings have produced multiple fish weighing over 5lbs apiece. We have also been catching really nice smallmouth bass with the biggest weighing just under 5lbs.

I am now booking for February and beyond for this year. Dates are already going fast in March, April, and May but I am still pretty open in February. Anyone interested in booking a trip with me needs to call ASAP because the dates still open will be gone soon.

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the picture and report Bryce…nice bass! Call Bryce at 580-494-6447 or 870-582-4561. Visit his website at www.brokenbowlakeguide.com. BTW – Bryce, are you a proud pappa now???

River Bottom makes a fantastic line of soft creature baits including Possum Craw, Craw Pad, Get Shad, Getsems, Finesse Worm and Get Stick (my favorite). One of the things I especially like about River Bottom Lures is that they all float. I plan on using the Get Stick around the lily pads – mimicking a small snake – to land my huge Hawg this year.

Texoma Fishing Report – Catfish

by

Lake Texoma fishing report, lake texoma catfish, blue catfish, catfish tipsAvid fisherman Jason P. sends in this fishing report on catfish at Lake Texoma:

These are some catfish caught down at Lake Texoma on Friday. They were both pulled off juglines. I don’t wanna tell my spot, but I will say we are catching them at about 40 feet right on bottom on top of submerged railroads and old roadbeds that travel across deep channels.

My father and his friends have been running the lines during the week and they said they have been catching lots of smaller fish in the 4-10 lb range using the same methods and same areas. Also, we use only worms to catch them. We have tried many other baits including large live baits to NO avail.

Worms have been the only success story to date. Well, until next time, hope everyone is having a terrific new year and getting outdoors enjoying some of this abnormal warmer weather…..

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report and pics Jason! Those are some nice blue cats. How much did they weigh??
