Tenkiller Fishing Report Mar 28, 2025 - Bass, Crappie, Cats & More for Anglers
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tenkiller fishing report for March 28, 2025. Sunrise today was at 6:24 AM and sunset will be at 7:34 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines.
Weather-wise, we're looking at a partly cloudy day with temperatures reaching a comfortable 72°F. There's a light breeze coming in from the southeast at about 5-10 mph, which should create some nice ripples on the water surface. Now, remember folks, Lake Tenkiller is a freshwater lake, so we don't have tides to worry about, but keep an eye on those dam releases as they can affect fish behavior.
The fishing has been heating up something fierce these past few days. The bass bite is on fire, with largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass all active. Anglers have been reporting catches in the 3-5 pound range, with a few lucky folks pulling in some real lunkers over 7 pounds. They're hitting hard on jigs and plastic worms in deeper water, especially around brush piles and rocky points. For you crankbait enthusiasts, try working the 8-12 foot range with medium-diving lures in shad patterns.
Crappie fishing has been stellar too, folks. They're schooling up nicely around brush piles and suspended timber in 15-20 feet of water. Minnows and small jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket. Some anglers are reporting limits of slabs in just a couple hours of fishing.
For you catfish lovers, the blue cats and channel cats are biting well on cut shad and stinkbait. Try fishing the deeper channels and creek mouths for best results. We've even had reports of a few stripers being caught trolling deep-diving crankbaits near the dam.
As for hot spots, I've been hearing good things about the area around Chicken Creek. The points and coves there have been producing some nice bass. For crappie, give Sixshooter Creek a try – there's some submerged timber there that's been holding some real slabs.
Bait-wise, the local shad population is thriving, so matching the hatch with shad-colored lures is a good bet. For live bait, nightcrawlers and minnows are always a solid choice this time of year.
Remember, the lake level is currently about normal, and the water temp is sitting around 62°F. That's prime for some pre-spawn action, so get out there and tight lines to ya!
Don't forget to swing by Dave's Bait & Tackle in Gore or Jimmy Houston Outdoors Store near Park Hill to stock up on supplies. They'll fix you up with everything you need for a successful day on the water.
This is Artificial Lure, signing off and wishing y'all the best of luck on beautiful Lake Tenkiller. See you on the water!
