Keystone Lake Fishing Action – Pawnee, OK, January 10, 2024

Scott and Jennifer came down from Alaska and fished with me on (a Oklahoma Sooners special day)... The day was awesome fishing with them. Good laughs and great conversation about life, fishing and hunting in Alaska.  Jennifer is from Ketchican,Ak and they now live in Wasilla, Alaska. This was a last minute trip that they had just a little time to Squeeze in to catch their very first paddlefish. It was a grind putting them on the hook but we hot it done and they did great.  That special day was because they had tickets to the oklahoma, Alabama game to watch live where the Sooners put the breaks on Alabamas chance to be in the play offs. How cool is that paddlefish in the afternoon and a couple hours later storming the field in Norman. 💪 The next time i see this couple this summer in Alaska they will be Mr&Mrs Mckenna ya! To book your fun time on the water catching memories call 918 231 7600 I have gift certifacates for that hard to buy for person. Surprise!

Keystone Lake Fishing Report

We're fishing everyday! Catching some nice big females and hard fighting males. Caught a female today that had eggs slipping out. I hope they push back several weeks before they Spawn. They Spawn about 55 degrees and water temp is 50 but with all this water running its kinda making me think. Checkout this bent bill on this spoonbill I caught on my new garmen unit. Love the new graph.

Another great day on the water fishing in the rain today. We got a couple of guys out early this morning right after legal fishing time and we caught them lots of fish and were done before the sun even rose. Next trip started at 10:30 and it was awesome.  We caught probably 20 Spoonbill and they left taking one to see if they like to eat them. My covered boat made it nice fishing in the rain today and as always my clients really enjoyed it also.

Rainy Day for Spoonbill

Hello all! For all clients that already have deposits in for trips already booked this doesn't apply to you but I hope you do it also.  For now on if you book a trip with me and if you are taking a fish home it will be a male or one that I mistake as a male. If we dont catch you a male you wont be able to keep a fish this day. A 35 pound male has as much fillet as a 50 pound female.  If you are making caviar with the eggs this will be an exception to this rule and you can keep a female. I/we all are taking to many big fish out of our waters. I honestly think oklahoma has great and best rules to help protect are Paddlefish population but this will be my part. Thank yall!
