Giving Up On Lake Hefner

[rockchalk06]

Im just about to give Lake Hefner the bird. I have been out every evening hitting every spot I can think of for the last 4 days. Starting at 4pm and calling it quits at midnight.

Not a single bite. The hybrid bass aren't even hittin the shad anymore inshore. Talked with several boaters and same thing no activity in open water.

Lake is about 6 foot lower than normal for this time of year. You can see a difference everyday. Hundreds of hybrid bass and LM all dead on shore. Even seen 2 SM about a pound dead.

They have all but stopped restocking the lake with bass and crappie. Wildlife officers told me funds are tight so the fishing habitat has been put off. They claim it's more of a boaters lake than a fishing lake.

What was it that Mike Iaconelli said?

Jokes apart, I'm sorry to hear about the fish dying. That is sad. But isn't that nature's way of trying to put things right?

It will bounce back bro. We had a major fish kill in one of my fav. spots a couple yrs ago. Everything is back to normal now.

Fish kills have been happening to every body of water since the begining of time. Dont let it get ya down. Maybe find another spot to fish the rest of the season. Whos knows, it may be your new fav. spot...

True. This spot is nice, its a huge lake with alot of areas to fish and very kid friendly. Its on the way home from work too which is nice.

Around central OK, the LM fishing is not very good. Lake Hefner is the only place I have ever been able to find any though.
