I'm an OU student and I have been out to dirty bird like 5-6 times and I have been skunked every single time. I don't have a boat her, so could anyone help me out with some bank locations/baits/techniques to try? I'm open to catching anything really, but I want to bring home so fish to fry up so some crappie and sandy tips would also help a ton. Thanks!

I know Very little about Dirtybird  but I can tell you this crappie should be right on the bank right now. and bass will be soon to follow. Really its a bit late in the crappie spawn and there for sure are some bass up doing there thing. grab some 1/8 oz jigs and just walk around the bank jiggin from 5' - 1' you should get  some action. Might look at a topo map and find shallow water that is semi close to some deeper water that would be a good place to start. You can also ask the old man you see out there with a basket full of fish for a little advise.

My experience with Dirtybird, which isn't extensive, is to hit the fishing piers and marina.  Dirtybird is a tough lake to fish if you don't have a boat, and not much easier if you do.  There's not much cover and if you don't know the lake well and don't have sonar, you're basically fishing blind.  Plus, a lot of the bank area can be hard to access (during the summer anyway) and can be rife with ticks.  

 

Though usually if you sit at a fishing pier long enough with some minnows, you'll catch a crappie or two, even on a bad day.  There's often some kind of artificial cover that someone sank near those, and it's practically the only shady spots on the water so the fish tend to congregate there, or at least pass by it.  The trick is to find out where the cover is, and get over it.  Probably your best bet is to go there on a crowded day, find the guy who's catching a bunch, see where he's at, and then come back and try that spot on a less crowded day.  

I'm a boater and OU Alumni and I would be willing to meet up one weekend to fish.  I live in OKC and I have been looking for someone to fish tourneys with on occasion.
