Great fishery. Once you figure them out, might not be a better lake in Oklahoma.

I can hear the thumper in the background. Cool

These fish with long life spans it’s a good thing to let bigger ones swim on.

Leaving for Texoma today. Wish us luck, we don't have a thumper so hopefully we'll still do well.

Thanks Johnnie. Soldier creek and Caney Creek in open water.

What a great trip you guys had, the last couple of trips at my secret little lake has been tough fishing, fishing for hybrids, I have only been using my thumper, do you think your splashed really works in that deep water, I have one, but not using it, maybe that’s my problem, it’s really been hard to even see them on my Humminbird. I have fished Texoma, great fishing.

@BooneBoys

Жыл бұрын

@Michael Teague most likely if your not seeing them in graph they’ve disappeared. Not sure why this happens, but at given times of the year it’s like they are impossible to find. Normally it’s a pattern at that time of the year every year.

@BooneBoys

Жыл бұрын

But to answer the question on the splasher, I think you should always use it no matter the depth. However the thumper is far more important in the winter in deeper water. On this trip, the thumper was turning off and fish would disappear during that time. Turn it on and they would reappear.

Love watching your videos!! What size of jig heads and fluke do you use?

@BooneBoys

Жыл бұрын

Thanks I appreciate it. So we typically use 4/0 hooks and 1-1.5oz heads. I wish somebody could make me a 2oz and 2.5oz head with a 4/0 hook. Problem now is that I can only find 2oz in 5/0 hooks and those are a little bit big when you are in smaller groups of fish, they miss the bait more than the 4/0 hooks. 1 and 1.5oz is just fine except on those windy days where your drifting .7-.8mph

I have a bass boat similar to yours. I want to go to texoma this spring but i was a little worried about the lake being to choppy. You dont have any issues out there?

@BooneBoys

It can be a really rough lake, but you might pick your spot where there is less wind if it’s a really windy day. There are plenty of bass boats that fish the lake.

Can you explain what you’re doing. Are you letting the lure get to the bottom and just trolling slowly?

@BooneBoys

6 ай бұрын

Yes. Leaving it completely still. Where the name deastick comes from. You can catch them with no movement, but typically it’s .4-.7mph drift or moving with trolling motor.

any tips on how to find them? or is it just by chance that you roll over a school?

@BooneBoys

6 ай бұрын

Sometimes it’s an early morning bite or late evening. Sometimes it’s all day bite. In winter, generally they are in the deepest part of that area of the lake. One you find them, sometimes small schools drift and let the thumper keep them with you during drift. Most of the time I find them with sonar, and some of the time it’s with sidescan. If they are hugging the bottom, with my sidescan, it’s hard to see them, but if they are suspended pretty much most sidescans will see them easily.

You ever fish the Canton Walleye Rodeo?

I can only afford to by one right now. Which would you recommend to start with? Thumper or sSlasher. Fishing for both hybrids & Stripers less than 50 ‘ of water.

So all you did was find fish, then drop the jig head down to the bottom, reel up twice and let the boat drift? Do you hold the pole still or are you jigging it up and down? I live on texoma and I’m just trying to catch something

You don’t want to move it. Leave it as still as possible. If it’s really windy compensate for the boat movement trying to keep it still.
