Fishing Report: Springtime Bass & Crappie at Lake Tenkiller, Oklahoma

Alright folks, here's the latest scoop on fishin' at Lake Tenkiller for March 15, 2025. Weather's lookin' decent today with partly cloudy skies and temps in the mid-60s. Winds are light out of the southwest at about 5-10 mph. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:23 PM. Water temp's sittin' around 58 degrees, which means the bass are startin' to move up shallow for the pre-spawn. Lots of anglers have been havin' luck with largemouth and spotted bass in the 2-4 pound range, with a few bigger ones mixed in. Best action has been in 5-15 feet of water around points and creek channels leadin' into spawning pockets. For lures, can't go wrong with a jerkbait like a Megabass Vision 110 or Lucky Craft Pointer 100 in shad colors. Slow rollin' a spinnerbait along rocky banks has also been producin'. If you're after numbers, tie on a Ned rig with a green pumpkin TRD. Crappie fishin' has been hit or miss, but some nice slabs are bein' caught around brush piles in 15-20 feet. Minnows under a slip bobber or small jigs tipped with Crappie Nibbles have been the ticket. For you catfish folks, channel cats are bitin' pretty good on cut shad or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom in 20-30 feet. A few flatheads have also been caught on live bluegill. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checkin' out Sixshooter Creek or the Caney Creek area. The points and bluff walls near Strayhorn Landing have also been producin' some good fish. Remember to grab your license and check the regs before headin' out. Tight lines, y'all! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
