Thread: Tenkiller 2019

Hi all,

Glad I found an active thread about Tenkiller. I usually fish Ft Gibson, and haven't fished Tenkiller in many years. However, with Ft Gibson being up 13-14 ft I decided to give Tenkiller a try today. It was a struggle to say the least!

I put in at Pettit and fished around there for a while in the morning only catching one fish. I moved to Carlisle Cove and fished for a while without seeing much fish. Caught two small largemouth. Wrong species. Moved from there to south of Cookson in a cove near a swim beach (not sure what it's called) . There I saw quite a few good sized crappies on the livescope roaming in 10-13fow, but they were so spooky I couldn't get closer than 15-20ft from them. Chased them for quite a while before giving up on them.

Finally, I moved back near Pettit in a cove closer to main channel and picked up a couple more in deeper water before calling it quits.

I am going to give it a try again tomorrow, this time maybe heading further north (maybe Dry Creek?). Being unfamiliar with crappie patterns on Tenkiller, any help or suggestions appreciated!
