Weather
Cold north breeze; ~26° this morning. Gulls diving — possible early thermal-shock shad on the upper (shallower) end; cats there may slow first. Typical Christmas-window shad kill pattern.
Hunting
Firearm done — lots of nice deer around the lake; big ones from Spavinaw / Eucha / Jay area. Family hunting more SE Oklahoma than up here. Late archery (last 3–4 weeks through mid-Jan) can be excellent over feed if cold/snow; acorns breaking down after heavy rains; green browse fading.
Fishing outlook / holidays
May skip next week’s report for Christmas — pattern holds: same docks, deep brush, Twin Bridges whites/Crappie, below-dam when generating, Eucha and Spavinaw good; Paddlefish improve as water cools. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
