Recently our northeast region fisheries crew stocked twelve-inch Florida strain largemouth bass in Grand Lake. This week the stocking efforts were complete after stocking 100 retired brooders. These fish weighed between 4 and 7+ lbs each! #WeAreYourODWC Photo Courtesy of Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation

Additional Information:
The bite is on when it comes for striper on the main lake, anglers should focus on the areas from Platter Flatts to the islands. Striper are schooling on the surface in early mornings and on wind blown points/banks. Anglers should use live shad for the most effective method, striper are also being caught on sassy shad and top water lures. A good number of white bass are being caught at the Fobb Bottom WMA on ghost minnows. Crappie are still holding in about 10-12ft of water on brush structure, minnows and jigs are the best methods.
