Trip Overview

Picture this: you're an hour north of Fort Sill, surrounded by the serene waters of Fort Cobb Lake. The sun's barely up, and you're already feeling that first tug on your line. That's what we're offering with our Active Duty Fort Cobb trip. It's a full day of fishing that'll have you forgetting about everything except landing that next big cat. We've got room for up to four people, so bring your buddies or family along. Just remember, only one of you needs to be active duty to snag this sweet deal. We're not providing meals on this one, so pack a cooler with your favorite snacks and drinks – trust me, you'll work up an appetite out here.

What to Expect on the Water

Alright, let's talk tactics. Fort Cobb is prime territory for channel and blue catfish, and we know just how to get 'em. We'll be using a mix of techniques, from drift fishing to anchoring in the honey holes. Expect to use some heavy-duty gear – we're talking sturdy rods, beefy reels, and line that can handle the big boys. We'll be baiting up with cut shad, chicken liver, or maybe even some of my secret stink bait (don't worry, you'll get used to the smell). The lake's got a good mix of structure, from underwater ridges to submerged timber, so we'll be hitting all the sweet spots where those cats like to hang out.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, once you've fished Fort Cobb, you'll be itching to come back. It's not just about the size of the fish – though trust me, we've pulled some real whoppers out of here. It's about the whole experience. The lake's got this laid-back vibe that's perfect for unwinding after a long stretch on base. Plus, it's not as crowded as some of the more well-known spots, so you feel like you've got a piece of angler's paradise all to yourself. And for you active duty folks, this discounted trip means you're getting top-notch fishing without the top-shelf price tag. It's our way of saying thanks for your service.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Channel Catfish: These are the bread and butter of Fort Cobb. Channel cats here average around 2-5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 10-pounder or bigger. They're aggressive feeders and put up a great fight, especially in the warmer months. Look for them around structure and drop-offs. These guys are known for their firm, white meat that's perfect for a fish fry.

Blue Catfish: Now, if you're after a real trophy, the blue cats are where it's at. Fort Cobb has produced some absolute monsters, with fish topping 50 pounds not unheard of. Blues tend to hang out in deeper water, especially during the day. They're opportunistic feeders and will go after bigger baits. The best time to target these behemoths is typically in the early morning or late evening. Landing one of these giants will give you bragging rights for years to come.
