Fishing

[Oklahomabassin]

I took Dad out fishing on Friday morning and again this morning. We did not keep count of the fish we caught and released on Friday, but at least one of us was reeling in a fish nearly the entire 2 hours. This morning we counted 33 in about an hours time. The biggest was a skinny 5 pounder.
I am working night hitch right now, so we just hit the water for an hour or two in the morning before I go home for a nap.

My Arkansas River stick

. It`s basically a 12ft telescoping cane pole made by B&M (Broom and Mop Co.)...I`m using 12ft of Rio 20lb fly line backing with 4ft of 6lb Trilene for a tippet with a 1/0 Mustad hook. The plan is to dead drift some medium shrimp through the ripples and see what pops but this morning I took it out to Haskell Lake used a 4" Zoom Finesse worm and worked the grass beds with that broom handle and caught three little Bass before the started raining...

Congrats!
Don’t release those crappie back into that small pond. They overpopulate destroying the forage fish the bass need to eat and never get big enough to eat.

Thank you for the info! The bass I have caught are definitely skinny, figured it was just a pond thing.

Well I haven't been out since late March for multiple reasons, and we'd been having a run of poor luck before that. So it was refreshing to go out Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon and have the fish cooperate for a change! We wound up catching 27 overall, with the bulk being in the 2-5# range. Unfortunately we lost several big fish (and about $35 worth of lures), but the rest made up for the losses!
