@crc1785 thanks a lot for your nice comment. We truly want people to catch more fish and have every intention to let people know exactly what we are doing. Fishing has brought my boys and dad together close and I want the same for other people.

Thanks for noticing that. Hopefully my boys will be taking me some day when they get older.

Thanks 👍

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Charles! You had a tough day for sure.

@@BooneBoys true, and I think you said it best when you were struggling a couple weeks ago: "The tough days make you appreciate the good days." We'll be back in the saddle in no time. 👍

Haven’t had one since. Lol. The way it goes.

@MikeBakerVideos thanks! We need to plan that trip sometime.

@FrankValdez my wrists were a little sore. Those fish had extra fight to them.

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I bet it was the same day. I think half of western Oklahoma was there. Make sure you say hi if you recognize our boat out there.

Great to hear! Your splasher setup puts mine to shame. But great to hear you smashed them.

That’s great news about Foss. One of the toughest lakes in state IMO. Thanks again for your kind comment

I don’t think I’ve heard of that bait shop before. What kind of weights to you make?

@@BooneBoys All kinds of sinkers. Bank, river, pyramid, no roll, egg, cannon ball, etc. I have 25+ different types of molds. (I hope my wife won't see this comment.) The bait shop is at the corner of County Street 2550 and E 1280 Rd. If you're headed south and you drive by the golf course, you come to that place where there are 3 roads, one down into the camping / day use area, I think it's Sycamore, the other is across the damn and then the last one is County Street 2550. Go on that to the next intersection. 28009 County Street 2550, Fort Cobb, OK 73038

Thank you! We use 7’ Ugly Stik catfish and Striper rods. $59.99. Best rods for money you can buy.

Thanks Larry!

@WilliamSeaman thanks. I was ready for live bait season.

Some poles have 20lb braid, some have more. Since we fish for walleye and other species we vary. If I was going only hybrid and striper I would do 25lb or so green braid and no lighter than 30lb flouro for leader. I’ve never broke a 30lb leader on clean line and we horse fish a lot to keep them from tangling up lines. We’ve broke a lot of lines that are less than that. Some people will put last 10ft or so flouro, but unless your water is super clear I wouldn’t worry about doing a long line of flouro. We have one pole on boat with flouro only in case we struggle catching fish on some lakes just in case fish see line.

Super Bait Tank 2, about 25 years old.

Usually really really good with live Shad.

We just came back from Texoma last weekend and tried several mornings trying to find shad. Seems like shad is hard to locate period. Any tips on finding them if you don't have a livescope? I saw on your latest video they were in very shallow water at Ft. Cobb. We see bait balls on our sonar, but we just can't seem to get to them fast enough on the open water.

@@jenniingram7971 typically you’d want to be there catching bait around 4:00am right now to give you an hour or more before it’s starts getting light to find and catch bait. If you get lucky you can see them flicker on top in calm weather, but when it starts getting light many times bait scatters from shallow to deeper. But you need to get in 12’ or less or they will evade the net. Most guides are by boat docks catching bait or creek channels. In the winter you can throw taped nets in deep water and the bait just aren’t as spooky and you can drop it on them.

@@jenniingram7971 sometimes bait is really hard to find at Texoma, but from what I’ve heard there is plenty right now.
