Future Pro and Avid Bass Fisherman Mike Diehl sends us this fishing report from Lake Tom Steed.
Fishing has been really tough this year and the bite has been very slow, but caught a few nice ones this trip. This bass was caught using a Mann1 shallow crank on a Hookhider rod and 16lb test Stren Magnathin mono line.
Mike dedicates this trip and bass to his son:
In Memory of Michael
Fantastic Father
Loving Son
A true example of a man at 23
Fishing guide Bryce Archey sends us this report from Lake Broken Bow:
Fishing has been excellent with quality largemouth being caught. The last couple of outings have produced multiple fish weighing over 5lbs apiece. We have also been catching really nice smallmouth bass with the biggest weighing just under 5lbs.
I am now booking for February and beyond for this year. Dates are already going fast in March, April, and May but I am still pretty open in February. Anyone interested in booking a trip with me needs to call ASAP because the dates still open will be gone soon.
Editor’s Note: Thanks for the picture and report Bryce…nice bass! Call Bryce at 580-494-6447 or 870-582-4561. Visit his website at www.brokenbowlakeguide.com. BTW – Bryce, are you a proud pappa now???
Fishing guide David Clark sends us this report and picture from Sooner Lake:
Here is a picture of a big bass caught recently at Lake Sooner. It weighed 7.8lbs. We caught 2 more that morning, one weighed 5.6lbs and the small one weighed 4.3lbs. In addition, we caught about 40 Hybrids and Stripers with the biggest striper being 10.lbs. It was a GOOD morning!!
Editor’s Note: Thanks for the picture and report David. To say it was a good morning is a bit of an understatement, wouldn’t you say?
Avid fisherman Jason Price sends us this report from Lake Sahoma, just southwest of Tulsa:
I was fishing for crappie at the enclosed dock and landed this guy – nice surprise to nail your line when looking at 1/2 lb crappie all day long!
We weighed him up at the station there right above the dock and he weighed 4lbs. 7 ozs., well on his way to getting to be a big ‘ol fat guy.
The locals say there are bass in Lake Sahoma commonly twice the size he was, so I am looking forward to some decent weather once all this ice and extreme cold goes away to get back there with some of the bass gear and hit some other spots on the lake.
Also there is another small lake directly next to Lake Sahoma, and in November, the Wildlife Department released some odd thousands of trout and catfish into, so if anyone is looking to trout fish, its a great place and perfect time of year to catch them…good luck to all.
Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Jason! Lots of times the smaller lakes are better trophy bass fisheries due to low fishing pressure and your experience proves it. Also, the Wildlife Department link above goes to the trout stocking schedule around Oklahoma.
