Hello I'm new and from Oklahoma
Just wanted to see if any locals my area are on this site?
City is Ninneka bet youve heard of that. I did put a contract on a 1987 sport fish 20 today. Doing boat trial Saturday to see how she runs. Boat has a 1987 200hp evinrude I was told it runs very good. The boat looks good to me at least no cracks dings etc. A little Dull but not bad. We tried to move the moter up and down ended moving trailer on it's springs so the thing seems solid. So Hi to every one here.

Welcome to the site!! Not sure we have anyone that far inland? But I am sure them striper hybrids are about the same to catch as the wild guys?

Hey Deep!!...welcome to the fun!!...if you found an 87 w/no dents or dings, you did pretty good!!...
I do a LOT of freshwater striper fishing...how you fish for them, largely depends on what kind od bait or lures are available to you...our main "go to" is live Herring...bat-shops around here sell them now, but back in the day we used to stay up all night and net them under lights, then fish stripers all day w/ the herring for bait...15-20 lb line and a 1 1/2 oz barrel-sinker to get you down to them...in winter we free-line w/only the hook thru the herring's nostrils...free-lining requires an electric trolling motor to move around SLOWLY (just enough to keep the free-lined bait out behind the boat)...let me know what yer using and I'll try to steer you to 'em...large minnows (shiners) work great too...here's a local freshwater record caught last year...63 lb 4 oz...  I don't even know this guy, but I wish I did!!...

Idles smooth and had plenty of power Felt like 45mph but did not have gps to check. The outboard ended up being a Yamaha 200. The hour meter was showing 350hrs so who knows but I'm happy with it. I never even been around any fish that big. Or as far as that goes. Did not know they were real ,hey you got a picture so there you go. My son said we would probably be in the 3 to 10 lbs range. I did take some pictures but they are in the 2 meg range so I will check to see what it takes to upload some. Lake Texhoma is around 87000 acres in size. I been looking at some of the fishing guide's site pictures and they can be quite nice looking. I'm way happy just retired last month with no worries, lots to look forward to.
