I LOVE wiper fishing here in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. By the best place but at the local dam I love wading out and fishing in the current below the only gate that’s always open. They’re usually 2-5lbs so it’s not as fun but it’s still fun. At the same lakes dock last two months using a small balloon as a bobber ( which in calm wind you can see the vibrations of the baitfish through the ripples of the balloon) using a baitfish with as little weight as possible they will SMASH the bait. Seen at least three rods taken in the water and many more so close to be taken out. It’s a lot of fun, but soon I hope to go to either Ft.Gibson dam or Kaw dam or even Lake Texoma for bigger ones.
