Hello Grand Lakers!
|
|
Last Thursday I took Kelly Bostain, the
outdoor writer for the Tulsa World newspaper, on a guide trip on Grand. I
had been telling Kelly about the great summer white bass fishing here but
he had never experienced it. Kelly took over the outdoor section after
moving to the area from Alaska.
We invited another local guide, Tony
Coatney, to go with us. We caught about 200 whites in about four hours,
including some big ones. We then took Kelly fishing for black bass for
about thirty minutes. We caught eight 2 to 4 pounders! Kelly was kind
enough to publish a nice article about our trip in the Tulsa World Sunday
edition.
Folks, fishing is really good! |

See you on the water. |

Hello everyone!
|
|
Well folks, the weather is nice and hot,
just the way I like it!
Everyone says, "Bet you're not catching any
fish." However, that simply is not true. The hotter it gets, the easier it
gets. They bunch up more and when you find them, they are loaded up.
Sand bass and large mouth get on the points
real good. You just have to fish deeper for them as it gets hot and stays
there. The sand bass will school at the top of the water. You can throw a
top water lure, which is always fun.
When they stop surfing a lot of people say,
"Well they're gone." But that's not always true. Drop that spoon down to
the bottom and you should catch the bigger ones. Its a blast for kids, or
anyone for that matter, to catch them when they are like that.
Large mouth also start schooling some when
it gets hot like this. A lot of people say those are just sand bass, but
don't always think that. Many times its large mouth, and you can catch
some good ones.
We've been catching some crappie around the
bridges.
Haven't heard much about catfish, but spoon
bill are jumping everywhere so be careful. |

Hi folks: |
|
Fishing Report for South Grand Lake, the Grand River,
Spavinaw Lake and Lake Eucha.
CAUTION: THE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE BRUTAL.
IF YOU FISH, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!
Grand Lake Elevation 745.96 feet. And slowly falling, temp
is in the high eighties, water is stained as of 9:30 A.M. on 06-23-09. The
boat ramp between the spillways is closed, but should re-open in the next
couple days. Generation full and one spillway gate open one foot. I expect
the GRDA to close the gate late today or early in the morning.
The bass fishing is good. Spinner baits, crank baits,
plastic baits, are producing fish, early in the morning and at night.
The crappie are back in deeper water. We caught fish around
docks and over brush piles in 14-18 feet of water, most of the Crappie are
being caught on 1/32 and 1/64 oz. Jigs, and minnows. We caught fish on
black, blue and white, and of course purple Bluewater Jigs.
The Sand Bass are in the lake again several good stringers
have been reported this week. Rat-l-traps, rooster tails, jigs, and
vertical jigging a spoon and trolling a shad-rap has been good. Fish are
being caught on windy points.
The catfish are on the spawn. Areas with rip-rap will be
good, Sail Boat Bridge is a great place for spawning catfish. Shrimp under
a bobber right on the rocks is good. The spawn is just about over.
Fishing in the river is great. The sand bass fishing is
very good. Cat fishing is good, drifting with shad has been best, but
chicken liver will work too.
Spavinaw: All fishing is fair
Eucha: All fishing is fair
|
Until next time, good luck with your fishing! |

Hey folks!
|
|
|
Just back from my Canada trip, with some of
the best smallmouth and walleye fishing I have seen in the seven years I
have been going. My partner said we better not tell the real story because
no one would believe it anyhow.
Well, as for Grand, I must have gone the
wrong way last week because we couldn't catch the catfish we were looking
for. We caught a lot of nice sand bass on grubs in about 9 feet of water
one day and nothing there the next day. Go figure.
The catfish can't hide too long. I plan on
finding them in the next few days. I have heard of a few being caught, but
nothing great, they should be getting done spawning. |

Check out some of my past trip
pictures. I usually snag from
October into May, depending on weather and water levels. This past winter
was fantastic in the deep
water. Check out more
pictures, and get your trip booked for the season now!
Check out the new catfish bait Jeff
Williams is promoting. You can find it and pretty much anything else you
might need at Littlefield's Bait, at the entrance to Monkey Island.
Remember, keep only what you need and release the rest for
another day.
If you would like a guide trip call Martin
Guide Service or
email me.
See you on the water!

Hello Anglers, |
|
Upper Grand Lake Report:
Here's the Upper Grand News from my
customers to you
Lake Elevation 745, a little above normal.
Water temp is 88 and clear.
Still catching largemouth on crank baits,
lizards and frogs, plus worms on shaky heads. All greens and red. Lots of
small fish, but there are some big ones (6 lbs.) out there too.
They are catching a few smallmouth on
spinner baits, 3" grubs, black head/green tail and pearl white, up the
Neosho and Spring Rivers.
Whites are doing great all over the lake on
white sparkle tails, white grubs, black/green grubs, Texas slabs (vertical
jigging). Shiner minnows are showing great results also. Try early morning
and between 7 & 9 in the evening. Green and white lights at night are
working out for folks too.
All catfish are being caught on live shad,
black perch, goldfish, shad strips & guts, night crawlers and shrimp.
These guys are hungry!!! They're still found in the rocks and around 25'
deep. I've had some reports of folks bringing them up dead from 35' to 40'
on jugs and trot lines. Wonder if the lake is getting ready to turn over?
Try your jugs and trot lines deeper, see if that helps, and let me know
how it works.
The crappie are out there. There are a lot
of small fish, although I've had some reports of big ones being caught
too.
They're using shiner minnows, Grandpa's
Jigs and Bobby Garland.
Perch and bluegill doing well on redworms
and nightcrawlers.
I haven't had crickets for the last week
because my last shipment of 5,000 were all dead. I'll try to get more this
week. Hopefully they'll come in alive and ready to go to work for you.
A few spoonbill are being caught on jugs
and trotlines. I have some reports of them being caught below the dam,
snagging. Watch for them out on the lake; they're jumping like crazy. Cool
to see.

Hey folks: |
|
The white bass continue to bite fantastic -- if you know
where to find them. Guides Tony Coatney and Ivan Martin are limiting-out
most every day using one ounce jigging spoons. Several folks are trolling
for them and doing well.
The size of the whites seem to average a lot bigger than at
this time last year.
The black bass fishing is holding up also. Crank baits,
jigs and shakey heads are all producing well. |
|
Good luck out there!
Trish |

White bass are great, as are black bass.
We're catching catfish with fresh
shad in the
mid-lake area while drift fishing. The sizes aren't real big but there are
some
keepers.
Crappie are okay in places. We caught some
working ledges using jigs and grubs,
especially around docks.
See you on the
water!
