Overview

Point 23 at Lake Stanley Draper provides Oklahoma City anglers with another location for accessing this large urban reservoir. The lake’s extensive shoreline allows anglers to explore different depths, points, coves, and other habitat without traveling far from the city.

Catfish, bass, crappie, and panfish provide much of the fishing opportunity. Conditions can vary considerably with season, wind direction, water temperature, and water level.

Fishing Tips

Bass anglers can work soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits around points and changes in depth. Crappie may respond to small jigs around submerged cover, while catfish can be targeted with bottom rigs.

If one area isn’t producing, vary both casting distance and depth. During summer, dawn and evening can offer better shallow-water activity than the hottest portion of the day.

Bottom Line

A useful Lake Stanley Draper access point for Oklahoma City anglers targeting bass, catfish, crappie, and other warm-water species.
