I have hit Oakthorpe two times so far. It has been about as slow as it can get. The first day I went there the water was up and muddy! I never got a bite that day. I went back today and did manage to get two fish but it was still very slow. I fished from around 1:00 to 6:00 and only one fish was worthy of a picture. I did see a guy fishing for crappies with minnows from the bank and he caught about a 4 or maybe 5 pound bass. It sucked to see him put it on a wire stringer and take it home to eat! I wasn`t happy about that.
I was going to give him a piece of my mind but I thought maybe he would get red with me and I don`t need any trouble out there. Anyway check out how red the tail is on this bass. I think I caught one last year at Dow that looked the same.
