Outdoors With Luke Clayton

Luke visits this week with his longtime friend J.C. McCollough. J.C. has fished the Red River below Lake Texoma his entire life and knows the waters well. He guided Luke and Jeff Rice on a river catfish trap earlier this week that Luke describes as good as it gets. Lots of catfish were landed including one 40-pounder. J.C. also offers some awesome whitetail deer hunts along the Red and Washita Rivers above Texoma. Contact J.C. at 580-372-0320

Luke and his good friend Jeff Rice spent a couple days hunting wild hogs and fishing a creek on the upper end of Lake Fork for catfish earlier this week. Click and learn how the adventure unfolded. The event was filmed and you can watch the fun on A SPORTSMANS LIFE on YouTube on www.carbontv.com .

Luke's long time friend guide J.C. McCollough is with Luke on the show today. Luke and J.C. first fished and hunted together well over three decades ago and have enjoyed many outdoor adventures together. Fishing has been great in the Red River below the Texoma dam with lots of blue catfish landed. J.C. runs an airboat to negotiate the shallow stretches of river and fishes the deeper holes where the fish congregate in large numbers. J.C. can be reached by calling 580-372-0320.

Luke`s guest this week is veteran guide Tony Parker (903-348-1619). Tony was the first guide to tap into Lake Cooper's awesome white bass and hybrid striper fishing years ago.
