Weather
Recorded Thursday morning, October 1, in the rain. It's opening day of Oklahoma archery deer season, so bowhunters are probably getting wet. Once it breaks, cooler air and maybe a north wind should roll in, with lower than normal humidity, light breezes, sunny skies and mild temperatures. That should mean a fantastic weekend and good deer movement.
Catfish
Lots of people drift fishing and anchor fishing for Catfish in front of Jeff's house this week, and he's seen fish caught.
Haydn
Haydn is still fishing some, but slows down this time of year. After running so many trips from January to now, this is his vacation and he gets deer on the brain.
Lake-wide
This late-summer, early-fall stable pattern (sunny skies, normal water temps, little lake-level fluctuation) makes for excellent, very predictable fishing. Unless there's a flood or strange weather, you can catch fish again where you've caught them before.
White Bass
Get out on windy points. Try the Sweetwater area, the Governor's Island area and the islands around Sailboat Bridge.
Crappie
Some anglers caught nice Crappie under Honey Creek Bridge, in the shade around the pillars, on minnows.
Drift fishing spots
Anywhere in the Three Fingers area all the way down around Shangri-La, the flats at Bernice, south of Bernice Bridge between there and Governor's Island, and Snake Island.
Bass
Tommy says tournaments are still catching plenty of fish but struggling to catch any size. Jeff shared a Fish Lucke video about a buzz bait kit (three colors of buzz baits with trailers — economical for a pond, stream or Grand Lake). Fish Lucke also has lizard kits, curl-tail worm kits, ring worm kits and spinnerbait kits at a very economical price.
