December 10, 2004 - Keystone
- My cousin ( John ) and I ( Dean ) are avid jug fisherman.
We have gone all over Keystone Lake looking for the best spots.
We have pulled out some nice fish. A dozen or so flat heads,
and countless blues. Recently, with the weather like how it is,
the fishing pattern hasnt changed much, besides more catches.
Last weekend, the end of Nov. we set out ten jugs, using large
shad. Out of the ten jugs, we had set ups on all but three. On
one jug, we caught two cats, a flat and a blue. the normal sized
blue for us is 15 pounds + . We caught one a while back that
weighed 26 pounds. For good bait, wait till the Keystone damn
has a few gates open, and and go on the south side. might as
well bring a small pole and catch some nice sand bass while your
at it! set the jugs between 18 and 25 feet of water. I like to
set jugs in water with a rough current, blues like the current.
use only three hooks, one dead bottom, one in the middle, then
one towards the top. iI will even cut the shads throat and tail,
make em bleed a little. Good luck juggers! Dean Martin and
John Barker.
September 2, 2004 - I am trying to locate
a vendor for live shad in the Oklahoma City, OK. The city ordinance
prohibits the use of casting nets or I would catch my own, like
my Father used to do. If there is a place where I can buy them
I will be able to use my Father's proven technique for catching
large catfish with rod and reel. Please respond to my home e-mail
at pahdocoj@cox.net.
July 13, 2004 - Submitted by Doc Walker, Guide - Top-waters,
verticle spooning and down-rigging are all producing fish. However,
fish are also being caught still on live shad.
Top-waters: Salt water series chug-bugs and near-nuthin type
lures have been the baits of choice. Color does not matter, but
make sure the bucktail is replaced often. Strikes will go down
considerably with no hair or plastic on the back hook as that
is what they think is the small threadfin shad they are pursuing.
Spoons: 1.5 - 2.25 ounce Hopkins, as well as various "slab"
type baits.
Down-riggers: Double jig rigs.

PS!
Jack Harris and Bruce Roth, both of Wichita, KS, brought this
young man down to Texoma in May, 2004. This is what it is all
about!

June 19, 2004 - Eufaula
Dam - Submitted by Outdoor Adventures Guide Service
We had a great week of fishing this week below Eufaula Dam.
With very little water released the conditions were great for
Hugh stripers, With fish surfacing in the morning hours. It was
a site to behold. Imagine seeing hundreds of stripers exploding
the water chasing shad and herring. It was enough to get any
fisherman's blood boiling. Outdoor Adventures Guide Service teamed
up with one of Oklahoma's best known Striper guides J. B. Bennett
of Okmulgee. J B, runs Jig Blue Guide Service. Best known for
winter time striper fishing with light tackle. This week has
been one of the best weeks for striper fishing in along time
with more large stripers caught than we can remember. Catching
5 fish limits each day of stripers 20 to 30lbs with one whopper
that weighed in at 38lbs. It was truly a great week. Cedrick
Smith of Morris landed his first striper, a nice 10 pounder not
bad for a young fisherman that just turned 10 years old, Catfish,
are feeding on shad and worms using a float with a 6ft leader
with many fisherman catching lots of blues. The hardest thing
this week was finding live bait. But if you could get your hands
on a large herring you were surely on your way to landing a nice
striper, White Bass are still hitting slabs and small jigs on
the humps in the main lake. It looks like its going to be another
great week of fishing so if you get the chance get a big one!
June 10, 2004 - Eufaula Lake
- Submitted by Outdoor Adventures Guide Service
Another wet and windy day. Oklahoma's weather this weeks has
been very wet and windy. Out on Eufaula Lake White Bass are still
biting great. Most of the best fishing is in the main lake. With
fish holding on humps in about 30ft of water. Were getting great
results on slabs and small jigs even picking up a few hybrids
in the deeper water along side of dropoffs.
Crappie fishing is good along boat docks and bridge pillars.
With minnows and purple and white jigs producing the most fish.
With all the rain lake levels are on the rise. This can only
mean great fishing in the next few weeks. With summer in full
swing Eufaula Lake is the place to be to relax or to enjoy a
day of incredible fishing.. Larry
May 25, 2004 - Grand Lake - Submitted
by 'fishinfarmer' - Went back to Grand Lake on May 21,
22, and 23.
My wife and I went out with Ivan Martin from Martin's Landing
Friday
afternoon and once again he didn't let us down. We kept 60 White
Bass that
weighed from 1 to 2 lbs and threw back a lot more. Ivan does
a great job
keeping track of the fish and knowing where to find them. Wife
and I went
back to Ivan's spots and boated another 35 on Saturday and 25
on Sunday.
Was real windy on the lake but the water was not rough on Elk
River. Had a
big fish fry Saturday night and still stocked the freezer. We
were fishing
on the Elk River, near the Highway 10 bridge in 15 to 20' of
water on the
ledge where it dropped off to the river bed. Water temp was 75
degrees and
we were using 1/4oz jigs with blue/white shads and grubs, mostly
jigging
off the bottom. If you want to catch fish, call Ivan. He's one
of the best
guides I've ever used. When I want to catch fish, I go out with
him for 1/2
day then go back to same places the next day or two without him.
I've told
him that's what I do and he doesn't care. He also posts a super
Grand Lake
fishing report and keeps it updated 2 or 3 times a week. You
can find it on
the web at www.grandfishingreport.com
Stayed at a place called Blue Bluff Harbor on Elk
River. They are family
owned. Not fancy but cabins were clean and beds were fine. Had
nice boat
slips available. At one time they had a cafe and fuel at their
dock but
don't have them this year. Prices are reasonable. 2 bedroom cabin
is $80 a
night plus $5 for a slip. They have a web site at www.bluebluffharbor.com
if you're interested. Good luck to all.

May 4, 2004 - Grand
Lake - My daughter and I went down to Grand Lake on
April 24th and slaughtered the White Bass. Went out with Ivan
Martin from Martin's Landing on Monkey Island and he did a super
job. Rained all day Friday so we didn't go out but Saturday was
only overcast and we hit the lake. In 4 hrs we caught 60 Whites
that weighed 1 to 2 lbs and threw back about 20 more. Quite often
we had 3 on at a time. We also caught 12 Crappie that were 12"
or more. Super day. We were using 1/4 oz jigs with blue/white
minnows. Ivan runs a nice
resort and is a great guide but the beds in his rooms are the
worst I've
slept on. Next time I'll take an air mattress. (Editor's note:
Sorry you found the bed uncomfortable. We've stayed there and
were pleased with ours)

 March
18, 2004 - Texoma - Submitted by Doc Walker, Guide - Long-lining
for stripers is in full swing. This pecture is of Harold Stafford
and Bill Freidline, both of Wichita, KS. The fish were taken
3/15/04. As is typical for March, we are dragging deep-diving
thundersticks about 200 feet behind the boat. We are working
18 - 25 foot ledges adjacent to creek or river channels. Water
temperature is about 50 degrees and climbing. With the warm weather
we are having, black bass fishing should pick up real soon!
February 29, 2004 - Texoma
- Submitted
by Doc Walker, Guide - Jug-lining for catfish has been
ok! We have caught fish up to 45 lbs., but, not the monsters
we caught last year. I did have one fish on last week that pulled
my jug at least a mile off my jug line. As fate would have it,
we got the fish next to the boat, and, it broke the leader line.
It was conservatively 80 lbs. plus! Longlining for stripers is
looking GOOD! Last week, I took my son and his friend out for
a couple of hours. We hit one spot and pulled all our 20 inch
fish. They ranged from 8 to 15 lbs! Needless to say, it has me
pumped about long-line season. Tight-lines, Doc Walker 877-664-2208
