あらすじ・解説
If you're planning to head out to Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma today, here’s what you need to know:
First off, Lake Tenkiller, situated in the Ozark highlands, is not a tidal lake since it's a freshwater impoundment on the Illinois River. As of the last report on October 20, the lake's elevation was 0.5 feet below normal and stable, with a water temperature of 72°F, though it might have dropped slightly given the time of year.
For today, November 2, you can expect the water temperature to be around the mid-60s, given the cooling trend. The weather is forecasted to be clear with a high in the mid-60s and a low in the mid-40s.
Sunrise today is at about 7:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, providing a good window for both morning and evening fishing trips.
Fish activity has been quite promising. Largemouth bass and spotted bass have been active, particularly around brush structures, channels, and points. They have been biting well on crankbaits, plastic baits, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures. Crappie, both black and white, have been fair on hair jigs, minnows, and tube jigs near brush structures and docks. Catfish, including blue, channel, and flathead, have been good on cut bait, live bait, and shad around channels and flats.
For the best results, focus on using crankbaits and plastic baits for bass. For crappie, hair jigs and minnows are your best bet. Catfish are responding well to cut bait and live bait.
Hot spots include the areas around the Horseshoe Bend boat ramp, where the structure and channels provide ample hiding spots for bass and catfish. Another good spot is near the docks and main lake areas, especially where there is brush structure.
Remember, crappie must be at least 10 inches long and you can only keep 15 combined per day. Enjoy your time on Lake Tenkiller
