Looking To Float Big Sugar Or The Elk This Sunday For Smallies

[dgames]

This Sunday, a friend of mine and I are planning to drive from Tulsa to the Noel/Pineville area and float/fish for smallmouth as long as the stream doesn't get blown out from rains. I am not the most experienced smallmouth fisherman and am looking for suggestions on what might be effective this weekend. I was planning to use spin tackle and/or a baitcasting rig. Stuff I would normally try would be crawfish colored finessse jig/soft craw rigs, texas rigged plastic lizards, baby spooks and floating rapalas.

Would also look for suggestions on what stretch of the Elk or Big Sugar to float.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

PM wacky worm (Russ). He is an Elk outfitter, good guy, and always knows the skinny.

Wackyworm(Russ) and myself floated from Owl's nest to Sugar Island on the Big Sugar. We caught a bunch of smallies, 2 largemouths and about 20 goggle eyes. They are hitting on tubes. Big or small, a good color is watermelon red. We floated from Sugar Island to Hog Heaven on tuesday and caught alot of smallies and some were a pretty good size. I think anywhere you float on the Big Sugar your gonna catch fish. Come on down we are gonna float somewhere. Have a good float.

It's a mile or two up the road from Craig o Lea, if you know where that is.
