Lake Tenkiller March 2025 Fishing Report: Bass, Crappie, and Catfish Biting Strong
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tenkiller fishing report for March 12, 2025.
Sunrise today was at 6:37 AM and sunset will be at 6:24 PM. Weather's looking mighty fine with clear skies and temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to low 70s. There's a light breeze from the southwest at about 5-10 mph, making for some nice ripples on the water.
Now, let's talk fish! The bass bite has been heating up lately as we're getting into that pre-spawn period. Anglers have been reporting good catches of largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. Most fish are in the 2-4 pound range, but a few lunkers over 6 pounds have been pulled in this past week.
For lures, I'd recommend starting with a jerkbait or a lipless crankbait in the morning. As the day warms up, switch to a jig or a Texas-rigged worm around brush piles and rocky points. Don't forget about the Alabama rig - it's been producing some nice catches, especially for suspended fish.
Crappie fishing has also been picking up. Folks are having luck with small jigs and minnows around brush piles and standing timber in 10-15 feet of water. The average size has been good, with most fish in the 10-12 inch range.
For you catfish enthusiasts, channel cats are biting well on cut shad and stinkbait near the dam and around deeper creek channels. A few flatheads have been caught on live bait in the upper end of the lake.
As for hot spots, I'd suggest trying the area around Sixshooter Creek and the points near Chicken Creek. The rocky banks near Tenkiller State Park have also been producing some nice bass.
Remember, the lake level is currently about half a foot above normal pool, so some of your favorite spots might be a little deeper than usual. Adjust your presentations accordingly.
That's all for now, folks. Get out there and wet a line! This is Artificial Lure, signing off and wishing you tight lines!
