Lake Kaw Bass Biting

March 16, 2007 by Doug Lay, Editor and Avid Fisherman

Scott Ramage sends in this report from Lake Kaw:

I was at Lake Kaw today shore fishing for bass and anything else that was interested. I am new to Oklahoma and it was my first time fishing Kaw. I did well fishing around the west marina using a Texas rigged 7.5 inch curly tail watermelon worm with a small sliding tube weight on the line to bounce it off the bottom. Attached a photo of a nice largemouth I caught which appeared to be full of eggs. I know that Kaw is a good crappie fishing lake so when I hooked a 4 pound Drum I thought I had hit the jackpot!

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Scott!

Tom Steed Walleyes

March 6, 2007 by Doug Lay, Editor and Avid Fisherman

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

The fishing on Tom Steed has been tough lately for both Bass and Crappie, but it looks like my luck has changed just a little. I caught my first Walleye today, 6lbs. 24″, while fishing a 1/8 oz spinner bait on a micro light rod and reel with 6 lb test.

The Walleye are starting to spawn and are making their beds close to the bank. I was really shocked when it came to the top and I started to lip it like a bass – good thing I didn’t because this thing has got some teeth!

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Mike. Glad you didn’t lose any fingers!
