Hybrids, Sandbass
$ 220/ Person

Hybrids, Sandbass

Hybrids, Sandbass, and Stripers provide an exhilarating fishing experience. While pursuing Walleye, we often encounter these species, although I tend to steer clear of them during dedicated Walleye missions. As evening descends, they emerge to the surface, aggressively targeting shad. Their technique involves thrashing the shad with sharp gills before descending to pick up the wounded ones. The advent of sidescan and livescope technology has simplified the task of locating schools midday. Utilizing a spoon, we can effectively jig up and down to entice bites. Live shad proves to be a successful bait choice, particularly on Skiatook and Keystone lakes. The integration of this new technology has heightened my anticipation for chasing these species this year. Skiatook lake imposes a limit of 5 Hybrids, with only 2 allowed to exceed 20 inches, and an unlimited allowance for Sandbass. Stripers are scarce in Skiatook. Conversely, Keystone lake permits 5 Stripers, 20 Hybrids (5 of which can exceed 20 inches), and unlimited Sandbass. My boat limit stands at an exciting 50 fish per trip.

Catfish Fishing
$ 220/ Person

Catfish Fishing

Explore the abundance of blue catfish in Oologah Lake, my primary catfishing haven. While occasionally venturing to Lake Keystone or Ft. Gibson for cats, Oologah Lake remains my home base for targeting sizable blues. Winter proves particularly fruitful for trophy-sized catches, though blues can be reeled in throughout the year. Navigating their movements requires adaptability, often involving multiple sets to pinpoint their location. Referring to fish under 30 inches as "Box Fish" due to their placement in the live well, Oklahoma's daily limit is 15, with only one exceeding 30 inches. Reservoirs also host flathead and channel catfish, with flatheads favoring live bait and channels displaying diverse culinary preferences. Typically, both flatheads and channels are released, as blues are considered superior in taste. In a conservation-minded shift, I now release all the big ones. Recognizing the potential impact on the lake's trophy population, especially among guides, preserving the wisdom of older fish becomes paramount. By releasing these seasoned individuals, they can continue safeguarding nests and contribute to a sustainable fishing environment.

Crappie Fishing
$ 220/ Person

Crappie Fishing

Experience the evolution of crappie fishing with the revolutionary technology from Garmin. Say goodbye to traditional methods as Livescope, often dubbed "video game fishing" by kids, brings real-time forward-looking radar to your fishing endeavors. Witness the underwater world, strategically place your bait, and observe the excitement as fish strike or gracefully swim away. During the spawning season from mid to late April, the action intensifies in extreme shallows. Engage in fast and furious fishing using minnows and jig with corks set at 18 inches deep. Male crappie, dark in color and aggressive during spawn, add to the thrill. Livescope not only enhances the experience but also allows targeting trophy-sized crappie. Guided by catch-and-release practices for anything over 2lbs, this ensures sustainable fishing. Venture to lakes with large crappie, accepting the trade-off of fewer catches for the chance of reeling in substantial trophy fish. Ideal for smaller groups, trophy trips are recommended from October to February for optimal results.
