Another awesome afternoon at Skiatook. there was
quite a bit more boating activity today and lots more lake lice.
However, that did not slow down the Hybrid bite. I'm convinced now that
all that noise bothers me a lot more than it bothers the fish. I lost
count of the number of Hybrids we caught, I had four anglers from Ponca
City and we had a blast. We found some willing fish about 5 PM and it
was constant "fish on." The fish today liked the bait on the bottom
away from the boat. We would get hit very quickly if you cast the shad
about thirty feet and let it sink to the bottom. All the fish today ran
4-8 lbs. We kept a few for a fish fry and released the rest to fight
and eat another day. Bait is plentiful below Keystone dam right now.
The flood gates are open and the bait is right on the bank. I've found
it easier to get them in a cast net than my scoop net. My trip tomorrow
is up to Sooner.
