Lake Vanderwork Bass

by

The Fish Grip at work at Lake VanderworkAvid fisherman and aspiring pro Mike G. sends us this report from Lake Vanderwork:

My father and brother in-law came down from California this week and we have been hitting all the local lakes. Fishing has really been slow with the hot water and air temperatures but we managed to catch eight bass today at Lake Vanderwork.

The bite was slow but we did pretty good by looking for bait fish along the banks and casting small cranks toward the schools.

With the fish being a little small to lip and double treble hooks on the baits, it was a great opportunity to put my Fish Grip to work for me. The Fish Grip was perfect for holding the small bass still while removing the hooks and I even managed to go all day without getting stuck by a fin.

P.S. The little one is my beautiful little granddaughter Haylee’s first fish caught will at the local swimming beach.

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Mike and congratulations to Haylee! A budding Women’s Bassmaster Pro!!

Lake Lawtonka Report

Lake Lawtonka crappie
OKFG subscriber Chris Roebuck sent in this report from Lake Lawtonka:

The weekend crappie are biting on minnows in about 4 to 6 feet of water. Dragging a jig or rooster tail can also spark the bigger blue gills, which are feeding too. Bass are real slow. Dragging plastics at almost a dead stop will get nibbles and bites. Channel cats are biting on stink bait.

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report & picture Chris. Looks like you had a tasty fish fry that night!

Tenkiller Bass Biting

by


Darris Smith sends us this report from Lake Tenkiller:

The water temp is rising and the bass are too! I went last weekend for a 3 day weekend. Thursday night a front moved in. Pretty much tough fishing on Friday, cold and windy. I did manage to catch a few and this Smallmouth on a clown colored rogue. I had another try to kill it 3 times but missed it. I couldn’t get it to hit at anything else.

Saturday turned off much nicer, still windy and cool, but warming in the afternoon. I caught some real nice large mouth. A few 2 pounders, lots of 13 inchers, and this one in the 5# range.

Sunday was another good day. I had caught at least 15 in the 1 to 2 pound range, mostly on jigs. The spinner bait bite turned on after things started warming up. They seemed to have been on the shallow, wind blown, muddy banks. When they hit, you knew it. It was like it was there only chance for a meal and they were taking it now! They would hit it like a truck rolling down hill the other direction. This one almost took my rod & reel with him!

I’m going again this weekend, well, at least Saturday before the front comes in on Sunday, should make for some great fishing.

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Darris! You should go Pro!

Big Bass Biting at Steed

by


Aspiring Pro Mike Diehl sent us his latest report from Lake Tom Steed:

Doug – I just wanted to thank you and

Fishbelly Lures for helping me break my personal best of 6.0lb.

I caught two nice toads today while fishing a Fishbelly Hawg Shad 3.5″ split tail. The smaller bass is 4lb 14oz and my new personal best is the much larger 6lb 8oz. I caught both these bass in less than three feet of water twitching a Fishbelly Hawg shad next to the bank. What a way to start the summer!!!!

Editor’s Note: Congratulations Mike! Glad we could help – Fishbelly lures really do work!!
