Good Friday, had repeat customer Allen and his boys it was busy day at the grand river. We started off catching sandbass on the first stop the fish were pretty small so we moved on and continued to catch fish at every place we checked out except one that was a gar hole. We did get our bigger fish. At least one large catfish broke a line at the boat then turned around and caught another and a 30lb spoonbill . I’d say about 20% of the sandbass were female. Wind and waves were pretty bad in a few areas. Fish caught in 12 to 18ft of water. Didn’t get great photos had to leave and get to hospital. Thanks for choosing FISH ON! I’m pretty sure I had 3 groups on the water today lol. At one point we counted 30 boats just the ones we could see.
Boat 2: FISH ON!!! I did a trip today for Larry's Hook Line and Sinker on the upper end of Fort Gibson with Jeff and Shawn. It was non stop action from the time we started til they cried uncle. We fished for 2 hours and caught right at 100 Sandbass. Some reel Lee good size females. We caught all on fresh Shad in about 12fow. Water temp is 56degs.
Boat 1: Went to Ft. Gibson again yesterday to guide a trip for a wedding party of five. Couple good friends at this point on the boat. Meant to mention everyone can check out our new fishing report section at fishonok.com if you don’t get Facebook. We did the trip after school trip yesterday we put the brakes on some spoonbill then went on to catch sandbass. Once we got them going it was nonstop doubles and triples all I could do to keep up till cooler got full and we went to clean fish. It was awesome! I’ve still got 2 days open this month or more especially if Dave wants to take some calls. Let me know let’s get em booked I’m officially addicted to catching sandbass. Sooo many awesome reports today it’s at its peak or getting that way.
We had a fun day at Fort Gibson lake today. With Garry his group got sick but he went on with me and I’m glad he did. Down from Kansas thank you for spending your time with Fish On Guide Service. Spoonbill was just as easy as it can get in fact we just did most of it with one rod and couldn’t seem to keep the fish off the hook, then we moved to the sand bass which was more difficult starting out anyway. Tied on more weights to combat massive water flow and figured a few things out on technique then we caught fish fast as we could feed them till we had enough. Conditions today were some of the worst I’ve ever worked in. 30 mph winds with opposing 8 mph current. Massive swells and roller waves lots of trash in water. Just lovely. We had fun.
Killed it on Ft. Gibson yesterday. With Lukas Miller his two sons and two business partners.. Started out on spoonbill as primary objective they are getting pretty scattered as the season winds down we got our fish and moved on to some catfish in the same area got those as well. We needed something more exciting for the youngsters so we went to find some sandbass and we got them going quickly after a little patient sonar reading.. love it. Kids caught fish till they said they was just done lol. Got some nice wipers too! I’ll add more photos as they arrive.
Fish On at Skiatook Lake Yesterday Friday the 9th, Water temps was about 52 degrees and down a little due to a couple days of north wind. We Used Livescope and Lures to test fish for a couple hours they wasn't having it. Most fish around the banks was holding about 12ft. I switched over to bait tactics and found some fish glued to the bottom at 27ft and they were sandbass. They would only hit down lines with fresh live bait. We started picking up catfish as well on lines cast away from the boat on cut or whole baits. The fish would only hang out with the boat about 10 minutes then loose interest. Marked fish in deeper water but if they showed separation off bottom they would not bite. White perch would not bite. Found 3 spots that would work and it had its moments. We broke one off and Caught one hybrid had one fall off the hook at the boat. One legal brownie and I cleaned 15 fish. Thanks Steve and Mario great repeat customers. We had fun.
