Sooner Lake Hybrid Fishing Oct. 20 , 2012

I had the pleasure of fishing with Justin Beto and his father - in- law  Gary . We decided to head to Sooner Lake in search of some hybrids and it got wild for awhile. We had about 2 hours of  a good and steady bite. When we got to the lake, there was about a 15 mph wind out of the east. Then, about 2 hours into it, the wind shifted from out of the south and the bite died quickly. Justin and Gary put 28 fish in the boat and they decided to call it a day. It could not have been a more perfect day to be on the water. The weather was great.

Catfishing on Keystone Lake Oct.14 2012

 
Took a trip with Stacey Callahan out on Keystone Lake for some blues. It wasnt as good as last   Friday but we still caught 6 nice catfish.1 around 20lbs.,12lbs and the rest were in the 3 to 5 lb. range. Most fish where caught in 8 to 15 ft. of water. It was a great day to be on the water and there is never a bad day to fish. The fishing for blues is going to do nothing but get better.

    

Decided to take the afternoon off and go in search for some blues on Keystone Lake. Took a good friend of mine Mark Morris. We splashed the boat around 1 pm, caught bait and we were off and running. First stop yielded a couple of 3 lbers. into the boat. We got tired of playing the waiting game and decided to make a move.We stopped the boat in 8 to 10 feet of water, baited up and it was just a few minutes when Mark had one coming in over the side. We waited there for about 3 hours mainly because we were to lazy to pull the anchors and move. The biggest was about 15 lbs. We had a few in 4 to 6 lb. range. When we had finished we had 12 blues to send home with Mark. One nice thing about fishing with a friend is that I didnt have to clean any fish. It was a pleasure fishing with you today Mark and we will do it again soon

Skiatook Lake Oct.1 2012

I had the pleasure to take the Gillean family out on a trip to Skiatook Lake. Now this was 3 generations that I had in the boat .The oldest being 94 years young,.Trust me this man still could keep up with the 2 younger ones. We ended up catching 11 hybrids and all of them came on free lines in 20 to 30 ft. of water. It was a great day to be on the water with good company.

Sept. 21st. Fishing with the grand kids

The wife and I hitched up the camper and went to Skiatook Lake this past Thursday. The grandkids came out Friday night and we had enough daylight left  to get them into some hybrid action. Life- jackets on and off we go. Stopped on some decent looking fish activity and put out some down lines and free lines. It wasn't but a few minutes and the first fish was on with Landon ( who is 5 ) doing battle with a little help from papa. As soon as that fish hit the boat,  Kylie ( who is 9 ) had one. It took a few minutes of her doing battle to figure out who was going to win, but she finally got the fish close enough for me to scoop it out of the water. This went on for about an hour and then the cleaning started. It was a great time for my wife and I to spend time with our grandkids. For me this is what life is all about. I do have another grandkid Zach who is 2 and he is going to have a little sister in the real near future. I can't wait to be able to do it all over again with Zach and his little sister. 

Skiatook Lake Sept 22

Had a chance to fish with a good friend of mine, John Giessler, out on Skiatook Lake. We splashed the boat at 7am and we were off and running. On our first stop, John started putting fish in the boat. He caught round 10 and then the screen went blank. We headed on down the lake and  found some fish in 30 ft. of water and John, once again started to put fish in the boat. When that spot ran dry we made one more stop and started catching fish right away. John finished his limit out and with time left on the clock we went looking for some catfish. Found some in 40 ft. of water and he put 13 in the boat that ran around 2 to 4 pounds. It was a great day to be out fishing with a good friend.   

Sooner Lake Sept. 12th

I had the pleasure to take Dave and Sherry Kielhorn fishing on Sooner Lake today. It wasnt a real bad day, but it wasnt by far the best day I have had. We started at 7:00 am and found a decent bite in 16 to 18 ft, of water. That bite died out fairly quick but Dave and Sherry still put 7 fish in the boat. We made a run down to the dam and about the time we got there the wind really started picking up. Made a decision to run back where we had come from and found some fish in some 20 ft. of water. We caught half our fish on downlines and the other half on free lines. We finally got tired of fighting the wind and called it quits. I still ended up cleaning 20 fishing.
