Tenkiller Fishing Report 5/25/2025: Bass Booming, Crappie Fair, Cats Biting on Surprising Baits
Published 11 months ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tenkiller fishing report for Sunday, May 25, 2025.
The lake is looking mighty fine this morning! Lake level has stabilized nicely at about 1 foot above normal, holding steady since my last report yesterday. Water temperature is sitting at a comfortable 72 degrees with some staining still present but visibility improving every day.
Sunrise was at 6:12 AM and we're looking at sunset around 8:32 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get your lines wet. Weather's shaping up to be a beaut today with light winds and partly cloudy skies - perfect fishing conditions!
Bass fishing has been nothing short of fantastic this past week! Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass are all hitting strong around channels, docks, points, and shorelines. The Alabama rig has been producing consistently, but don't overlook your crankbaits, jigs, plastic baits, and spinnerbaits. Those bass are responding well to all of 'em right now.
Crappie action has been fair, with both black and white crappie taking hair jigs, minnows, and tube jigs. Your best bet is working brush structure, docks, and main lake areas. They've been a bit finicky, but patience will pay off.
Catfish - whether you're after blue, channel, or flathead - have been fair to good on chicken liver, cut bait, shad, and stinkbait. Focus on channels and creek channels for your best results. Some locals have been having luck with hot dogs too, believe it or not!
For hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the north end creek channels where some nice structure has been holding bass. The docks around Sixshooter and Chicken Creek have been producing some decent crappie. For you catfish enthusiasts, the river channel near the dam has been consistent.
Just a friendly reminder - while debris from earlier rainfall has decreased significantly, there are still some scattered spots with floating debris, so keep your eyes peeled when running your boat.
Y'all get out there and enjoy some time on the water! This is prime fishing season, and the bite is strong. Remember to stay hydrated in this warming weather, and as always, tight lines to you!
This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow's report. Good luck and happy fishing!
