Lake Tenkiller Hot Bite: Bass, Crappie, and Cats Stackin' Up in February

Howdy, y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to fishing guide right here on Lake Tenkiller, Oklahoma, comin' at ya live on this crisp February 23rd mornin'. Water temps are climbin' into the low 50s, stirrin' up the bass, crappie, and cats like nobody's business—folks been pullin' strings of 'em steady past week, with limits of largemouth up to 5 pounds, slabs of crappie hittin' 2 pounds, and channel cats pushin' 10 on cut bait. Sunrise was at 7:12 AM, sunset 'round 6:05 PM, givin' ya a solid 11 hours of daylight. Weather's lookin' prime: highs in the upper 50s, light north breeze at 5-10 mph, partly cloudy skies—no major fronts messin' things up. Lake's sittin' steady above normal pool per Corps reports, with minimal current, perfect for bank poundin' or boat driftin'. Fish are active in 10-20 feet off the main points—bass keyin' on shad, crappie schooled tight on brush piles. Recent catches from local ramps: 20+ crappie limits on minnows under lights, bass slams on jigs, cats stackin' up on worms or liver. Best lures right now? Go with 1/4-oz jigheads tipped with curly tail grubs in green pumpkin for bass and crappie; rattling crankbaits like the Rat-L-Trap in shad patterns for aggressive smallies. Live bait kings are minnows on long leaders for slabs, nightcrawlers or shad chunks for cats—can't go wrong. Hit these hot spots: Burnt Cabin point for deep crappie brush, and the spillway tailrace for current-loving bass and cats. No tides here, but that steady release keeps 'em feedin'.
