What to Expect on the Water

Alright, let's talk fishing. Depending on the season and what's biting, we'll be targeting a mix of species. For paddlefish, we might be doing some snagging - it's a unique technique that's a blast once you get the hang of it. If we're after crappie, we'll likely be using light tackle and fishing around brush piles or other structure. Bass fishing could involve anything from topwater lures early in the morning to working soft plastics along the bottom. And for sand bass, we might be chasing schools in open water. Your guide will walk you through each technique, helping you refine your skills or learn from scratch if you're new to it. We use top-notch gear, so you'll be fishing with quality rods, reels, and lures designed to put fish in the boat.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing these Oklahoma waters that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of battling a big paddlefish, or the satisfaction of filling a stringer with tasty crappie. Could be the peaceful morning spent casting for bass, or the excitement of a sand bass feeding frenzy. Whatever it is, our guests often tell us this trip scratches their fishing itch like nothing else. Plus, with our guides' local knowledge, you're not just fishing - you're getting an insider's look at these lakes and learning tips you can use on your own future trips.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's break down the stars of the show - the fish you'll be chasing on this trip. First up, paddlefish. These prehistoric-looking creatures are a sight to behold, with their long, paddle-shaped snouts and hefty size. They can grow over 100 pounds, though most you'll catch are in the 30-60 pound range. Paddlefish are filter feeders, so we use a special snagging technique to catch them. The season is typically in the spring, and hooking into one of these giants is an experience you won't forget.

Crappie are next on the list. These tasty panfish are a favorite among anglers for their delicate, flaky meat. In Oklahoma, you can catch both black and white crappie. They typically hang out around structure like brush piles or fallen trees. Spring is prime time for crappie fishing when they move into shallow water to spawn, but you can catch them year-round. They might not be the biggest fish in the lake, but landing a limit of crappie is always a good day.

When it comes to bass, we're mainly talking about largemouth bass in Oklahoma. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. They can grow up to 10 pounds or more in our waters. Bass fishing is great year-round, but many anglers love targeting them in the spring when they're in shallow water or in the fall when they're feeding heavily. The excitement of a bass blowing up on a topwater lure is hard to beat.

Last but not least, we've got sand bass, also known as white bass. These fish are famous for their schooling behavior, especially during their spring spawning run. When you find a school of sand bass, the action can be fast and furious. They typically range from 1-3 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and fighting spirit. Catching sand bass on light tackle is a blast, and they're excellent eating too.

Top Catches This Season

Every season brings its own fishing highlights, but this year we've been seeing some exceptional action. Paddlefish have been running strong, with several of our guests landing fish over 70 pounds. The crappie bite has been hot too, especially around deeper brush piles where we've been pulling out slabs over 2 pounds. Bass fishing has been steady, with several 5+ pounders coming to the boat on plastic worms and jigs. And let's not forget the sand bass - we hit a few schools this spring where it was literally a fish every cast for over an hour. Whether you're after size, numbers, or just a great day on the water, the fishing has been top-notch.
