Late night postings of the day's catch.

Decided to post this a little late while it's fresh in the mind. We were able to pull into a few fish today, despite the wind. After trolling our usual, we decided to go to some calmer waters. In a short amount of time we had a small walleye. Unexpected because of the shallow area we were fishing, but we'll take what we can get. Then a second walleye. This time it's a keeper.

By the end of the trip (which was cut short due to trolling motor issues), we landed 3 walleye and 1 largemouth. Maybe not a lot, but it was still good times! The more we go, the better we get at tracking down these Hefner fish.

Productive lunch break!

It's been building up a storm today. My house was being shown at 1pm, so I had some lunch and took off to the lake. I went to the South side by the fishing pier and got a line wet. Here's the result. Just one, but was still fun! There was a lot of mowing and some lightning starting up, so I bailed before doing much more.

Tubing Lake Hefner

Today I decided to try using a float tube for fishing Lake Hefner. It was really a spectacular afternoon to do so. Getting that low to the water helps keep you cool, for sure. I think it also helps you sneak up on those elusive fish!

Once again, many many casts, only one fish. But this time it was a decent little largemouth bass. I should note that I went fishing on the buddy's boat again Monday. One sandbass for me, 2-3 sandy's and one walleye for Chad.

It's quite alright though, I'm just continuing to try many different baits at different times of day. I have info from my dad's neighbor that plastics and jerkbaits go over well at Lake Hefner. So far I have tried many of such baits to no avail. Fishing report says spinners and plastics. Today it was the popper. One of my favorite baits just because of how fun it is to see them explode on a top-water lure.

You wouldn't believe the looks I got though. I guess people just don't realize it's possible to fish from a tube like that. You can find one like this at http://www.basspro.com/. I got mine for $34 by waiting for an online sale. I printed the sale and took it to the store. It was honored!

Good luck fishing!

Two hundred casts and 1 fish.

Better than no fish at all! Tried some fishing from the bank. Crankbaits, H&H spinner, even a top-water popper. Caught one sandbass on a mepps spinner. Never fails me!

I think we're getting our plan together for this lake now that we have access to a boat. Trolling can be boring, but if it means fish, I'm all for it!
