October 10, 2008 - Texoma
- Submitted by Southern Oklahoma Guides - Cooling water
temperatures this time of year ushers in the Fall fishing season.
For at least the next two months the fish will congregate in
larger and larger schools. Finding the fish during this season
is aided by the migratory sea gulls which have already started
to arrive. We are already catching fish on live shad. Down-riggers
will begin to catch fish as the schools become larger. Casting
jigs such as sassy shads and road runners into the schools will
also produce fish.

August 10, 2008 - Lower
Illinois - FISHING AT THE LOWER ILLINOIS IS THE WORST
I'VE EVER SEEN IT. THE WATER IS FINALLY LOW ENOUGH TO FISH IT
BUT ALL THE TROUT SEEM TO BE DYING. THE WATER IS REAL CLOUDY
AND STINKS BAD AT THE DAMN SOMETHING SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN IN
THE WATER.

July 2, 2008 - Texoma
- Submitted by Southern Oklahoma Guides - Top-water
fishing for stripers is just starting to kick off. I am seeing
many schools of small fish on top now, so, it is just a matter
of a few days that the better keepers will be on the surface
also. Various baits will work, but, the bait needs to have a
hair or translucent tail on the rear treble hook. The fish are
feeding on threadfin shad fry, not mature shad. The dressed treble
hook replicates the fry. When the dressing comes off the rear
hook as it has a tendency to do after catching several fish,
I immediately give my clients a new bait. My favorite baits include
the salt-water series chug bug, the cordell pencil popper, and
any wind cheater/near nuthin type sinking top water bait.
Of course, when the fish go down they can be caught
vertical spooning and on down riggers. By the way, we have pulled
several 14 lb. class fish on live shad during the past week.

Texoma - Submitted by Southern
Oklahoma Guides - Fishing is good on Lake Texoma, though
not as good as we typically expect this time of year. The fishing
can be great one day and average the next. The stripers can be
found at various depths of water so it is difficult to pattern
the fish consistently. I have fished in water all the way from
2 feet to 50 feet this month. When fishing in shallow water we
have also been catching a lot of real nice white bass and smallmouth
bass. In fact several trophy class smallmouth have been taken
in the past couple of weeks. If you plan a trip in the next couple
of weeks, I believe that the pattern will begin to stabilize
in deep water.
Live shad has been the bait of preference, however,
topwaters and sassy shads are producing well in shallow water.

10, 2008 - Texoma - Submitted
by Southern
Oklahoma Guides - The picture is of Steve Frederick of
Wichita, KS. We went on our first long-lining trip of the season
today and pulled several nice fish. We did the best on ledges
adjacent to deep water. The fish do not seem to be on our flats
where we traditionally like to long-line. Of course, this is
relatively early in the season and the water temperature is still
only 47 degrees. Look for the fishing to really improve as the
water temperature climbs into the lower fifties during the next
few weeks. We were using deep-diving thundersticks running in
20-25 feet of water. Live shad is also producing a mixture of
stripers and white bass.

January 1, 2008 - Kaw
- Submitted by Mike
Cook - Four Lake Guides - New Years Day at Kaw reservoir.
Wellllllllll, it started real good, once I chiseled the ice from
my drain hole for the boat and lubed the steering shaft with
w-d-40 cause the grease was so stiff.
The wind was up too much for me to anchor at the
first spot I wanted to fish. Pulling those cold wet icy anchor
ropes in was, well should have hired a guide. The second spot
I caught 6 nice crappie before the wind blew me off the brush
pile that was in 25 foot of water. The third spot produced no
fish. The fourth spot, despite the cold water I decided to set
out 3 anchors in hopes of holding me over the brush pile without
getting blown off. It worked but I still had to contend with
the boat moving a lot more than I wanted it to and the crappie
rods having an east west bend in them like they had 8 ounce sinkers
on them. I caught several more nice crappie under these less
than ideal conditions before crying uncle.
Also in attendance sailing the currents overhead
at Sarge Creek were three mature bald eagles that were beautiful
to observe on the blustery day. So all in all and to put it in
a nutshell and all that. IT WAS COLD AND WINDY! See ya soon.
