Tried fishing up the river today and managed to catch 3 fish in the 10 - 13 inch range.

Beautiful day on Tenkiller...Started out Luanching at ELk Creek. Had some friends sitting on some wood close and talked to to them before heading out. They had 2 at that time and stated they were heading up the river, so We decided to head down the lake from there. They called alil after 1 and had a limit of 30 but had a total of 38 keeper crappie caught. Releasing the 8 over. Well here comes the details of our day. Fishing with a close buddy of years we had a limit of 30 at 11:40am and the live well closed. We continued to fish for pleasure and ended up with a total count of over 70. Talked with a friend from work which pulled up to our boat and wanted to use my scales at 2pm and he had 2 over 2 lbs.. So he climbed in our boat and we weighed a few of our fish. We had 7 over 2lbs as well. Water temps got up to 63 degrees above the bridge and was as cold as 59 as far down as Sizemore. We caught fish today using many techinques, casting and dragging over wood, corking which is a blast, and tight lining deep inside the piles. All worked well. Baits today was down sized, they didnt want anything big, Slab Bandits in blk/chart., pearl/chart.,white silver flake, Yums 1 1/2" beavertails in blk/chart., pumkin/chart, anf limesicle/chart., Bobby Garland in cajun cricket, and white silverflake. It really didnt matter as long as it was small. We found fish staging in the front of coves and on main lake windy points and rock banks as long as there was cover. DOW was anywhere from 6' to 25'.
