Here Are A Few From The Spawn

With the exception of the last two weeks. I'v fished two - three days/nights a week since early March. we only had four good days, low water killed it this year. The river is much healthier with regular flows, the fluxuation of big water to no water keeps the river loaded with shad plus it allows the big fish to move up for spawning activity. When the big males came up this year they shut the Keyston dam for two plus weeks in late April at what should have been the best fishing of the year. We still caught some good ones five or six 16- 18lbs and one well over 20 . Oh well, thats why they call it fishing and not catching

I envy you, I wish I lived closer to Tulsa. I have not pulled anything out of the water this year that compares to those in your pictures. Sometimes it is better to have a quality over quantity day, especially when it comes to the fighting power of these fishes.

Nice fish! I'm glad someone has got into them. We went out several times and never could get on them. We r switching our efforts to the Lower Illinois for the remainder of the run if we can get time to get over there.

Get down to the NFoW we are catching them in the river, I can tell you right where they are!

Good to see a report where someone got into a few. I was begining to wonder.

I've only made it out 3 times this year because of the water situation. Only hooked one good one. I am really disapointed after the good spring we had last year.

I lost my striper vision and focused on small stream SM instead.

Rick,

It looks like you and Brian got into them again. I've got to get out with you guys sometime. Nice fish!!

We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.
