Headed out Saturday night to try and scrounge up a few bigger Blues or Flatheads, anyone had any luck lately? If so what were you using for bait? We've had the best luck with cut perch ( sunfish) on the lakes lately. I got a few new rigs put together and hopefully get on some once the sun drops down
Lake Thunderbird for the last 2 weeks have filled my ice chest with blues and Channel cats.
Cut shad.
Only landed 2 flat heads in that time and it was on cut shad.
Daytime fishing.
Good luck.

Haven't caught diddly squat lately, all I fish for is perch that I use for flathead bait, rod and reel only and bank
fishing Caney river. Wild life department says Oologah is good below the dam.
Good looking rigs you have there . Out of 40 some odd rods and reels I don't have 2 alike but they all work
for what I use them for.

I've got a couple of identical reels, but on different rods.
Kind of like guns, got one, get something different.
Waurika Lake been a bit slow, in this heat. Live perch and shad is about all they are taking, in deep water.

I had bought two of those Daiwa sealine 47H reels off eBay from a guy in Michigan who used them on the great lakes & after talking to him got him to sell me a 3rd one he was going to keep for himself.
The rods are just cheap Daiwa FT boat rods (med/heavy) that are like $20-$25 rods so I just bought 3 to match the reels so everything was the same.
Things shut down here when the spawn hit & is just now picking back up. I "think" the bigger fish have moved back into the deeper waters & are there during the day escaping the heat & come out into the shallows only after dark to feed. That's in lakes I can't speak for rivers & I'll test that hypothesis tonight

Found fish all night suspended between 20-40 feet deep but couldn't get them interested. Found school's of shad in different parts of the lake but no decent fish after them.
On the water from 5 pm to 1:30 am & only managed to catch one little channel cat around 1.5lbs

We had no luck on the NW side of Kaw lake this weekend.
I'm going to try the Arkansas river this weekend
I went to Thunderbird Sunday and caught 11 cats 3 were blues and rest channel and only 1 channel that had eggs in it.
Late layer for sure.
1 Alligator gar was caught.
Fishing during the day with the sun straight overhead.
8-14 foot of water.
They all wanted filet of shad and no cut heads or tails.
