Lake of the Arbuckles, OK. We had a hard freeze last night with wind. I going out tomorrow morning without a clue. It will warm to freezing by noon tomorrow. Lots of sun and little wind. Any thoughts on how and where I might start. Thanks. 

Depends on where you are putting in, If you are putting in at point ramp I would go south to the rock pile closest to the dam and try a jerkbait. I have had good luck there in early season. So that would also be south from Buckhorn or East and then just a touch south from Guy Sandy. If you launch from Guy Sandy there is a spot to the north and east where the creek runs into the main body and you can catch them there on a jig or jerkbait. You can graph areas around rock creek and look for suspended fish and try an Alabama rig. Of course, the A rig will work in many areas this time of year. I don't fish the A-Rig but I know it has produced killer bags on Arbuckle. With the weather we are having, I would try a moving bait (lipless, crankbait, spinner bait, etc) and cover a lot of water. Arbuckle is a hit or miss lake. You can catch 20 fish that are 2-8lbs or you can blank. I live in central Ok and it is one of my least favorite lakes.

 

This is an Arbuckle bass. They are there.

Kicker - Thanks very much. That’s good info.
