As of October 4, 2024, Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma is offering some excellent fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. First, let's...
show moreFirst, let's talk about the lake conditions. The elevation is currently 1.5 feet below normal and rising, with the water temperature at a comfortable 78°F and the water clarity is clear.
For those planning their day, sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 6:45 PM. The weather is expected to be mild, making it a perfect day to be out on the lake.
Yesterday's fishing report indicated that largemouth bass were fair, with anglers having success using crankbaits and jerk baits. Smallmouth and spotted bass were also active around coves, docks, and points, responding well to crankbaits, jigs, and topwater lures.
Catfish, both blue and channel, were biting on chicken liver, shad, and worms around the main lake and points. Crappie, though a bit slower, were caught using hair jigs, tube jigs, and worms around brush structures and docks.
For the best results, consider using a medium spinning or baitcast rod with 14-pound test fluorocarbon line and a fluorocarbon leader. A 1/4 ounce worm weight can be very effective.
Some hot spots to try include the submerged structures, docks, and points around the lake. The areas near the Horseshoe Bend boat ramp and the shoreline around Tenkiller State Park are known for their productivity. Additionally, the rocky bluffs and outcroppings along the shoreline provide excellent habitat for a variety of fish species.
Remember, crappie must be at least 10 inches in length and there is a daily limit of 15 combined per day. Enjoy your time on Lake Tenkiller, and good luck with your catch
