Thread: Tenkiller 2021

What depth are you guys catching them? I find lots of fish on live scope at up to 45ft deep on trees but if one doesn't catch them you never know what kind of fish are there. Having difficulty catching the fish I see shallower (< 20ft) without live bait. I've caught some fish that deep intermittently but not consistent so don't know whether to spend more time there or shallower. Appreciate the help and thanks for posting your catches as it helps motivate us all.

I’ve been catching some 20 to 30 ft deep on a dock in the brush. Crappie are finicky, some days are great, some days you are happy to catch one or two. Based on livescope viewing they are always there, just not feeding. I’ve hit them in the nose with tasty jigs and they just swim away.

Exactly, I can put it right in there face and they just ignore or swim away. Livescope can help locate but no guarantee they will bite.

Got a membership to Barnacle Bills. Looking forward to catching more of those big Tenkiller crappie.

Went out this morning.
51degrees air temp, 47 WT.
Westerly breeze, not bad for Oklahoma 8 mph swag.
Fish 20 in 62.
They want it moving.

Congratulations Redge! Thanks for sharing

Redge, what’s the good primary colors for Tenkiller? I haven’t really crappie fished it since they shut Caney Ridge down many years ago.
