Fish On! Fishonok.com, 8-11-24, Thanks Steve again for second day of fishing Oologah Lake. We tried some live bait fishing today. Wasn’t great but managed to catch a hybird and a few sandbass early on as well as catfish. Once the sun was out enough those groups of fish started moving around running away from boat. Artificial baits was lights out on the second stop. We looked things over at 4 locations and caught sandbass or hybrid at all of them. Had some nice fish slip the hook today. Hybrids on Oologah are extremely large and powerful 6 to 8lbs seems the norm and they can tear the hell out of any lure and rip off in some cases. Things are getting more organized to hit some artificials. If its anything like last summer it will go on for quite some time. Had 9 striper 45 sandbass and 7 catfish today plus whatever we released. Screwed up striper photo somehow didn’t take or didn’t save. Water temp was down to 80 using various artificial lures and live and cut shad. Catfish are biting good so are crappie at this location. Catfish was reel good on keystone now as well. Will just keep on keeping on. Fishing is good enough I’d book one.
Fish On! 8-10-24 Fishonok.com Thanks Steve, Matt and Sierra! Fishing Oologah today, I’ve got days open. I predict fishing to stay good. Water temps were down to 80. Fishing 10 to 20ft of water today. Things are shaping up real good on oologah. Keystone is also fishing real good. We are in some above average conditions for now. We got 6 hybrids today up to 8lbs. Cleaned 47 sandbass and threw back a bunch. 12 crappie. The lake temp has plummeted to 80 crappie got a little slower but bass and blues has shot up. Using minnow for crappie and curly tail grubs for sandbass and hybrid.
Fish On! Fishonok.com, check with me on dates available. John, Frank, Brad. Fishing 10ft using large cut shad on anchor. We caught 50 blue cat and I didn’t have to move or search, we released a bunch. Large fish was 9lb, but a whole lotta 4to6lbs. The last 3 days the fishing has been reel good! Water temp down to 83.
Fish On! Fishonok.com 8-7-24 Thanks Tino for coming back to check out Oologah Lake. We started on a cool morning with stout north wind checking a couple crappie hangouts. First stop bad second stop was ok. We decided to try catfish to get enough meat to feed everyone. That worked great. By comparison to keystone the blues at oologah are hungry probably because the bait fish are stronger and not quite as plentiful. We caught 19 for example in short amount of time and none of them were letting go of the hits and they just kept coming. 15ft. Pretty much filled cooler then went on to some sandbass and hybird striper fishing which they were pretty resistant to our offerings however we come up on a pile of them 5ft deep and a hundred foot long. Probably as many as I’ve ever seen in a group. Yeah We Caught that was 25ft of water. Water temps dropped a little to 83. Very good outing once clouds rolled out and winds calmed down just perfect. Even got a big load of shad for catfish bait on the way out. I’m real pleased with the fishing on the big O and have some dates open just give me a shout is probably best way to handle that. Using minnow, cut shad, crank baits and A-rigs today. With the latter producing the most striped fish. Cleaned 25 crappie, 19 catfish, 12 white bass hybrid striper combo and released that many more.
