Fish On! 1-25-25 It was a pleasure to have Eric, Justin and Phil on board today for Keystone Lake Blue Cat fishing. We headed out to first stop and sat there a while and they turned on. Boxed 12 on a 3 man limit up to 8lbs. I had high hopes at that point. Once that died off it was move and catch a couple the rest of the trip till we dialed up 37 for the outing. Not fast action but worked hard, maybe harder than usual to make it happen. We got Ice on the lake with second cold front which has thawed. Water temps are 35 and fish are now roving up and down the lake over a 6 or more mile stretch of water from 16 to 40ft theyre not hurting for food with the cold temps and shad kill but by some miracle are still biting good enough to show up and do the deal. Sent home 80lbs of fillets for example. I have a ton of weekdays open and Feb 9,16,22,23 for weekends. I can use some calls and booking to help keep bills paid but not going to run trips in frozen conditions or do anything stupid either. I will keep it fun and we will catch fish or stay home is my policy.
Fish On! 1/17/25 I had the pleasure of taking Leon and Jeri out on Keystone for some catfish action. We got on a steady bite on the first stop and it was a lot faster than the previous 2 days. Pretty cold and windy we stopped short of a 2 man limit today with 25 keepers and headed in to keep things moving. Not much on Photo’s. Fishing channel along the bank at 14ft of water. I’ll resume trips once we are back above freezing in a couple days. Thanks!
Fish On! Keystone Lake 1/15/25 Thanks Howard for booking with my service. We found 18 nice size blues today up to 22lbs hanging around some trees in 33ft of water, Then headed up to 8ft of water and got another 15 to top off our 2 man limit. Fishing larger cut shad on anchor. Larger fish were biting better than smaller ones today. There’s going to be another cold snap starting Saturday and I’ll resume trips once we get back above freezing end of next week probably about Thursday the 23rd and 24th. Also 27 thru 31st is open this month if anyone wants to get out and check it out. Long as the fishing stays good I’ll stay on em New cooler is working great.
Fish On! 1-14-25 fishonok.com Planning to guide a few trips the next few days till it gets cold again. I just wanted to make sure they were still biting and indeed caught quality size fish every stop from 8ft to 35ft the lake has dropped a lot in the past week about 4ft would be my guess. Water temps were 38/40 degrees. Shad seemed to have moved out of the shallow coves and into deeper water and scattered up and down the lake. Likewise the catfish are strung out up and down the lake as well. Fishing was good.
Fish On! 1-4-25, book anytime at fishonok.com or give me a shout. Keystone again 12ft water was working. We were well on our way to catching over 100 and could have if we just sat there longer. 75 catfish were caught, we didn’t keep everything. We got them caught, cleaned bagged and headed home in a 6hour time frame. I’ll just go on and say it Keystone for now is offering some of the best catfish action Ive ever seen just to be out fishing open water in a lake. We put in the work, no time for snacks today. Thank you Rick for organizing the outing and checking it out. Fishing on anchor where fish are traveling in high volume. Using large cut shad for baits cast a long way away from boat.
