Spring Awakens at Tenkiller: Bass, Crappie, and Walleye Bite Big This Early April
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
# Lake Tenkiller Fishing Report - Artificial Lure Here
Well folks, it's early April at Tenkiller, and let me tell you, the bite's been solid. We're looking at a gorgeous spring day shaping up—sunny skies with temps climbing into the low 60s. Sunrise was around 7:15 this morning, and we've got a solid eleven hours of daylight before sunset around 7:45 tonight. Perfect window for getting on the water.
The lake's been producing some excellent catches lately. Bass are waking up from their spring patterns, and we're seeing some real nice largemouths in the 3 to 5-pound range coming from deeper structure. Crappie fishing's been outstanding—both white and black crappie are schooling up in 15 to 25 feet of water. Walleye activity's picking up too, especially around the rocky points at dawn and dusk.
For lures, you can't go wrong with a Texas-rigged worm in green pumpkin or watermelon for bass. Throw some small tube jigs for crappie—white or chartreuse work great. Walleye anglers are having success with live shiners and small crankbaits in natural colors.
If you're heading out, hit the points near the old creek channel on the north side—that's where the structure's holding fish right now. The marina area around the dam's also been productive for crappie. Water temperature's sitting around 58 degrees, so the fish are active but not yet in full spawn mode.
