    Skiatook

    Headed down there Sat. to visit my BIL and was going early to get a little fishing in. Is it still tough? Any info that would help, is appreciated.

    Good luck! I don’t think it matters what lake you go fish. They all seem to suck at the moment. Maybe this weather change coming will change it up a little

    Moved to Skiatook about a month ago and my trips have been to other lakes just because of the big ski boat traffic headed that way. I hope it calms down in the fall right now you would have to be way up a creek to get out of waves.

    I'll give up one tip taking my father there this weekend. When you come down 75 when you get to Copan take a right and go west on 20 to Rocky Forge boat ramp on Hula lake. Run up the river after the sun gets up every piece of wood you see will have fish on it. The river stratifies bad in the heat and all the fish will be within 3ft of the surface because of oxygen levels.

    Wish I could, but have to hit Skiatook. My BIL is going to get my wife after a couple hours. She can only last so long on the boat, unless the fish are biting great and by great, means almost every cast.

    Well I do know where almost every cast can happen but I would have to be there. Far as Skiatook I haven't heard anything but someone has to be catching the i passed 3 boats driving through town this morning headed that way. Good luck

    If crappie fishing Skiatook you catch them most of the day. The hotter the day the better the bite with them.

    Made it there around 7am and the parking lot was packed. There was a tournament going out of Black Beard ramp? I think it is called something like that. Caught 2-12" largemouth in 3.5 hours of fishing, then my trolling motor went down. Ultrex and it quit turning, had one minn kota before, but not an ultrex and now I remember why. I have had two and they both quit me while fishing. Lots of guys rigging points.

    Dang that sucks about your trolling motor. I’m on my third Minnkota and I’ve never had a trouble with any of them, ever. currently have the Ultrex and love it so far. Only issue I’ve ever had was recently, and that was from the dealer making a poor connection to the heading sensor, five minute fix for me. Good luck hope it’s easily resolved.

    Congrats on the win, what did it take? I was wondering if there was more than one going on. There were allot of boats on the water.

    We had a 11 boat derby three fish limit. Only five bass caught and we had three of them lol. It was tough although I missed three good ones that just didn't get pinned .
