Hello Grand Lakers!

Have we ever had a worse winter for weather than this year?

I know we have, but it seems like it has been a while. The weather has sure messed up the winter fishing, however there is still some good crappie fishing to be done in and around the boat docks. I am becoming more and more optimistic about the crappie fishing. I am hoping they truly are coming back in a big way. I'll be home from Mexico in a week and I'm going to find out.

We had Grand Lakers Rodney Stites and Fred Malone on a guide trip with us in Mexico this week. Rodney had his personal best bass at 11 pounds, 1 ounce, and also managed another at 10 pounds. Fred caught a 9 pound, 8 ounce bass as his largest for this trip.

The best tackle show of the year is coming up for you serious fishermen. The Claremore Tackle show starts next week. I will be in the Elk River Jigs booth. Stop by and visit. We'll talk fishing!

For additional information about the show, visit http://www.gctackleshow.org/. The show is billed as "The #1 Tackle Show in the Mid South". It is located at Will Rogers Downs Cherokee Event Center, 20900 S. 4200 Rd., Claremore, Oklahoma 74019 and will be held February 18, 19, 20 & 21st. Admission is $10.00, Kids 12 & under $3.00, Kids 5 & under are free. Friday, Feb 19th, 2010 from 10AM-3PM is Senior Citizen and Military Day. Seniors 60 and older will save $5.00 on admission and Military personnel will save $5.00 on admission with Military I.D.

See you on the lake soon!

Hello everyone!

I've been making calls back to Grand Lake but I'm not hearing about much going on. I guess the cold and snow are keeping people off the lake.

I have talked to some folks who are catching crappie, but I've also talked to some who haven't had a single bite. Of course, that is just how it is -- in one part of the lake they're catching them and in another they aren't getting a bite.

I haven't been able to reach anyone who has been after sand bass in the river so you will have to wait until I get back to learn about them.

I have one more week down here in Mexico. We have been catching some big fish! The weather has been good for the most part, but then one of those fronts will come through. That's fishing. You just have to work for them to have any success.

Check out some of the fish Rodney Trites, of Pittsburg, Kansas, got with me last week (see the Photo of the Week page). He worked for them -- and he got them! It was slow on the numbers, but the big ones did bite. He had an 11.1, a 10.5, an 8.6, a 7.14 and an 8.1. He had a good week for big fish. He said he has been going to Falcon Lake a couple of times every year but he's never had one over 10 lb. Now he has two on just this trip. He said he knows where he is going to go from now on, and that's Lake El Cuchillo.

See you soon.

Until next time, Tony says, “Good Luck Fishing!” See his recent Photo of the Week selections!

Hi folks:

I was finally able to get out this week. There is still a lot of ice on the lake, but we found some really nice crappie. We caught them in 25 to 30 feet of water, on the Langley Bluffs. We also caught several sand bass in the river below the dam.

I caught one really nice hybrid. I caught the crappie on jigs. If you will send me an email I'll tell you which Grand Lake bait shops carry them.

It won't be long until the Sand Bass start the run up the river and below the dam will be a real hot spot.

Until next time, good luck with your fishing!

Hey folks!

 

If you are going to be snagging spoonbill this year, be sure to read the new regulations.

 

bullet

No more snagging from Highway 60 bridge north to Kansas in the Spring River.

bullet

Mondays and Fridays is catch and release only.

bullet

Sign your permit on the back with date and time a fish was kept.

 

I went to the fish and game meeting the other day and listened to their reasons for the new rules. They told me the fish population is down on both big fish and smaller fish because of missed spawns in the past and other reasons. The Monday and Friday law, I thought was a good idea so the fish can go on and spawn.

I do not agree with shutting down the Spring River completely, but they said it is to establish a refuge. If we will all quit killing the sows we will have more spawning fish. You can pretty well tell a male from a female: the males have small bumps on their heads.

I have never made it a habit to keep the sows. My customers keep the males to eat if they want one.

Whether you agree or disagree doesn't matter. The new regulations are in effect and the public meeting was to convey the information to interested parties.

This is all just meant as a heads-up.

Good snagging to everyone. They are bunching up in the lake, so if the weather will let us on the lake, it is a great time to go.

Remember, my Taxidermy shop is doing deer this year. We do deer, fish, fish replicas and some birds. I have 21 years of experience in the trade. You can call for info at 620-719-0939. View samples of Mark's Taxidermy Services

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 Sporting Goods, 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 ya on the water!

Now would be a good time to snag spoonbill above Sailboat Bridge when the weather allows you to get on the lake. Use your locator and you should see them between 30 to 40 feet deep.

Crappie are good in and around docks.

See you on the water!
