Well, I just got into the sport. I mean just got in...I'm 22 and haven't fished since I was 9. My boyfriend now thinks he's the luckiest man alive becuse he has a girl that likes cars and fishing. Unfortunately he hasn't fished since boy scouts, so my usual resource for macho things is dead.
So far I've been twice, once to Lake Hefner and once to Lake Thunderbird (Oklahoma). Haven't caugt a thing. Using pretty standard stuff - decent graphite rod, bobber, weight, good carbon fiber hook, various bait. So far I've tried live worms, rubber tadpole looking things (grey w/ silver glitter), rubber tubes (look kind of like an octopus), and jigs. Also all colors of grubs. I know there are fish biting because I watched the guys next to me catch pretty good sized fish one right after another, and saw fish bite the surface of the water quite a bit too.
I've read that it's good crappie season around here right now.
