Oklahoma in spring and fall.
Question of the day
What is your favorite lure and why?
"The (soft plastic swim bait) fluke. It catches all kinds of fish for me."
David Stockholm, Henryetta
"That's a hard question. I guess it's the square-bill crank bait. I've caught several fish over eight pounds with it."
William Heffington, Ozark, Ark.
"I like the wacky worm, but the guys say it's a sissy lure. It's a little slower falling, but I like slow fishing."
Juanita Conkright, Checotah
"The jig. I seem to catch more when the conditions are tough. That's why I like it."
Archie Wilhelm, Broken Arrow
"The knowledge you bring into your boat."
Jeff Griffith, Adrian, Mo.
Gadget of the day
Smartbaits color-changing lure
Instead of carrying 15 rods with multiple-color lures, Smartbaits cuts that number to three because of its color-changing technology for crank, lizard or worm fishing. The lure changes color for depth, water color and time of year. The item is so new, it's not available for retail sale until June, but can be ordered online.
"This thing thinks for you and adapts to life around you," said Leslee Jones Dingman, who is co-owner along with her husband, Michael.
