Lake Lawtonka Report

Lake Lawtonka crappie
OKFG subscriber Chris Roebuck sent in this report from Lake Lawtonka:

The weekend crappie are biting on minnows in about 4 to 6 feet of water. Dragging a jig or rooster tail can also spark the bigger blue gills, which are feeding too. Bass are real slow. Dragging plastics at almost a dead stop will get nibbles and bites. Channel cats are biting on stink bait.

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report & picture Chris. Looks like you had a tasty fish fry that night!

Tom Steed Crappie Report

Lake Tom Steed crappie caught by Mike Diehl
Aspiring Pro Mike Diehl sends us this report from Lake Tom Steed:

Well, the bite is starting to happen at Tom Steed Lake. Catfish, hybrid, small bass and crappie can all be caught with a little patience and good timing. The cats and hybrid can be found on the flats while the bass and crappie are hiding near the banks and surrounding brush and cover.
I have fished for crappie before in Illinois but for some reason I have had a hard time figuring out Oklahoma-style crappie fishing. So today after landing six bass and one crappie on my Fishbelly Helix Buzz bait, it hit me! These crappie can be just as big and aggressive as bass, so let’s go crappie fishing bassin’ style and try what I know best. I rigged up a small spinner on my bass pole and gave it a shot with good results for a somewhat slow day.
Here are the nicest two of five I brought home – 2.0lb and 1lb 12oz.

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Mike! Nice to know that the Helix Buzz works well on crappie too. I bet those slabs tasted great!!

Great Salt Plains & Canton Reports

Great Salt Plains carp are biting
March winner Mark sent us this report from Great Salt Plains Lake & Canton Lake:

I was finally able to get out and try out some of the new lures. I used the Lead Babies Slabs that I won; one was a blue & silver Pee Wee and one was a yellow & black long minnow. I had some success with the Pee Wee at Canton Lake. The white bass are still biting and I caught several in just a couple of hours.

I also got a chance to go to Great Salt Plains Lake, which had a lot of water running through it, hopefully the fishing will get better. To my surprise I caught several carp on both of my Lead Babies Slabs! Even though they are not really desired fish, they were sure fun to catch.

Anyways, thanks a lot, I love this web site and all the lake updates!!

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Mark and congratulations on winning our box full of goodies! We knew the lures would work — just didn’t expect it on carp!!

Lake Texoma Smallmouth on the Bite!

Lake Texoma fishing report from GW Chisholm of Trails Guide Service says the smallmouth bass bite is on!
Fishing guide GW Chisholm of Trails Guide Service sends us this smallmouth bass report from Lake Texoma:

Yesterday was a good smallmouth bass day! These are a few of the over twenty smallies that we caught along with several black bass.

Most of them looked as if they are post spawn so this bite won’t last but a couple of weeks longer.

Now is the time for a trophy, if that is what you are after!
