Coleman Crawdad on Hefner

So I got my dad's old Coleman Crawdad jon boat a couple weeks ago. I've put about 200 bucks into it so far. It has a trolling motor that pushes me along pretty good when the battery doesn't die out early on me. I took it out for its second voyage on Hefner today. This time with a much larger battery. Needless to say the little one I had before left me high and dry. I had to paddle to the ramp!

Tonight it did a little better but still croaked out on me after 2 hours. I suspect it didn't have a full charge. I still managed to catch 2 bass tonight. One at 1 lb another at 1.5 or so. Both on a topwater popper. Let's hope for some low wind tomorrow night so me and the kiddo can go for a spin on the crawdad.

Finally. Something to BLOG about.

After a big fat 0 yesterday, I was able to hang into a decent bass that weighed just a hair under 5 lbs. And at Hefner no less! The lake really seems to be producing for Chad lately (See his blog located on my links area.) Today offered up the big one, a small one, and one or two more bass and bluegill. Not many chances to fish as of late, so this was a welcomed surprise.

What happend to my lake?

A big sarcastic THANKS goes out to the yahoo who thought it would be a good idea to brag about the recent large bass caught out of Hefner. Now the lake is crawling with new people from who knows where. That's all fine and dandy, but I've noticed an influx of people with bad attitudes lately.

To those of you "too good" to say hi back to me when we pass on the water I say "Kiss my ass!" I swear this city has an overpopulation of assholes and I've ran into quite a few on ole Lake Hefner.

Maybe it's just me, but people are not near as nice as they used to be. I think I'll move my ass out to the country.

2009 gets a late start.

Yes I've been gone awhile. What can I say. I'm a bit of a fair weather fisherman. But today I had to get out regardless. Took the float tube on its first voyage on Hefner this year. Went to a spot I normally wouldn't, but ended up with a decent largemouth off the rocks on a jig.

Weather has been horrible but I hope to be able to post more exploits from OKC area lakes soon.
