Chris S Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 A ned rig is half a stick worm on a small jighead, it catches about anything that swims. Smallies at Melvern will eat about anything right now, but the Ned will catch a smallmouth as long as you can get your line in the water. We caught a lot of ours on traps and jerkbaits Saturday. I think I am going to pull the hammer spoon out next weekend!! Quote
BassThumbAddict Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Tenkiller is a great place to fish. Nicest lake in oklahoma. You might give some consideration to ft Gibson. It's a pretty underrated lake. Arbuckle is awesome. It's small but it doesn't get a whole lot of pressure. Grand is great to fish on weekdays. Whole lots of fun timber to flip. 1 Quote
BigBassBarry Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Of the three lakes in Oklahoma that you mentioned, I would recommend Lake Tenkiller. I have never fished Arbuckle but it is only 2800 acres. On the other hand Grand Lake is huge, at about 47,000 acres. Although the bass fishing can be pretty good, it is always rough because of all of the yachts and cigarette boats screaming up and down the lake. Tenkiller is a smaller lake, but it is still about 13,000 acres. It is one of the prettiest lakes in Oklahoma and has some of the clearest water. Other good bass lakes in Eastern Oklahoma you may want to consider are Ft. Gibson and Eufaula (the largest lake in Oklahoma at well over 100,000 acres.) I agree with Mike's statements, I really like Ft. Gibson as well. Tenkiller is great in the spring. Quote
Buckhunter2323 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I agree on Ft. Gibson had alot of luck late summer.I fished Grand a week ago did real good on Saturday and ok on Sunday. Tenkiller I did real good late spring early summer but I haven't been out there in a while. Green pumpkin anything was working real good on Grand. Quote

BigBassBarry Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 On FTG don't be afraid to fish shallow, find the rocks and you will find bass. My best day on gibson was 12.3 lbs 3 fish jackpot. 1 Quote
Buckhunter2323 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Rocks have been real good for me also. Also with it getting into the fall season I caught alot when I would find the schools of shad. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted November 6, 2014 Super User Posted November 6, 2014 I pulled in about a 5 pounder (batteries were dead on my scale) last week on Gibson, pitching the brush into three feet of water. Looks like the girls are moving up. 1 Quote
