Well, tournament season has begun and I think Spring is here....... I think....knock on wood! We have been pretty full on the weekends since the BFL on the 8th of February. We appreciate the business!
It's been a minute since I wrote a blog and frankly it hasn't been too exciting around here. We've just been getting ready for the season. So, I am going to keep this one short.
We are ready for you though and would love to have you stay with us this year! Check us out at www.thelakelodgegrandlake.com
I was able to get out a couple of times last week. I was skeptical because even though it has still been taking 18-25 pounds to win, weights really drop off after the first few teams. For example on March 9 in the Nichols event, the top weights were great (winners had 22+, 2nd and 3rd had 21+) 4th was 16, 10th was 14+ and 4+ got you a check!
The next week was MLF College. Winning weight was 18+ and 10th was right at 13pounds. This past weekend was the Anglers in Action. Fishing seemed to be a little better. The top 5 teams had 21+ and it took 14+ to get a check in 23rd place. Big Bass in that event was 8.07!
I digress.... I got out a couple times and was able to catch some shallow! Finally! Caught some on a crankbait and a jig. Caught a decent one, several 2 pounders...... and a TTT Tiny Bass! Maybe the smallest bass I've ever caught, LOL.
Grand Lake, Oklahoma, Tournament Results, Lake Level, Area Info
As stated above, fishing has been fairly tough for most. I think the lake is still recovering from a pretty big shad kill. As you would expect, those winning bags are coming for the most part on A-Rigs, Minnow Shakin and Jerk baits. However, one of those teams at the top this weekend caught them on a big spinnerbait, transition banks in the mouth of a creek.
Lake level is 743.3 and dropping. The water temps are all in the mid mid 50's to low 60's. Lake is stained to muddy in some areas but clearing, clear in the lower end.
