Lake Tenkiller Sunday Morning: Bass Limits and Striper Schools Schooling on Lake Tenkiller
Published 4 days, 9 hours ago
Description
Howdy, folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to gal for all things fishin' down here in northeast Oklahoma. It's Sunday mornin', April 26, 2026, 'round Lake Tenkiller, and the water's lookin' prime after that mild spring warmup. Sunrise hit at 6:42 AM, sunset's comin' at 8:00 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. Weather's cooperative today: highs in the low 70s, light southwest breeze at 5-10 mph, partly cloudy skies, no rain in sight per local forecasts. No tides up here in these hills, but water levels are steady at 45% full, perfect for bank and boat action.
Fish are wakin' up good after yesterday's reports—locals pulled in limits of **largemouth bass** up to 5 pounds on points and creek mouths, **smallmouth** hittin' 3-4 pounders in 15-25 feet, and crappie slabs stackin' up to 2 pounds near brush piles. Stripers are schooled mid-lake, with some 20-pounders boated on live shad, and catfish prowlin' shallows at night. Kentucky bass and white bass are crashin' the party too, runnin' in hybrids schools.
Best lures right now? Toss **jerkbaits** like a sexy shad in chrome for bass suspendin' in 10-20 feet—'em smallies love 'em. **Spinnerbaits** in white/chartreuse for windy banks, or **jigs** with craw trailers for bedding largemouth. Crappie goin' nuts on **minnows** or tube jigs under a slip bobber. Live **shad** or **worms** can't be beat for stripers and cats—cut bait for blues after dark.
Hit these hot spots: Burnt Cabin point for bass ambushin' shad, or the dam face for stripers and smallies huggin' the wall. Turkey Creek arm's loaded with crappie beds too.
Y'all stay safe out there, wear your PFDs, and respect the no-wake zones.
