Department of Wildlife Conservation Fishing Report

Grand Lake

Grand Lake May 19 - Elevation is normal and falling, water temperature 76°F and stained. (USACE Lake Level) Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass good on crankbaits, flukes, jerk baits, plastic baits, PowerBait, and rogues around brush structure, channels, coves, creek channels, main lake, points, riprap, river channel, river mouth, rocks, and standing timber. Blue, channel, and flathead catfish good on chicken liver, crawfish, cut bait, live shad, shad, and shrimp below the dam, channels, flats, main lake, points, river channel, and river mouth. White bass good on in-line spinnerbaits, small lures, spinnerbaits, and spoons below the dam, channels, dam, discharge, main lake, points, river channel, river mouth, rocks, sandbar, and tailwater. Comments: Crappie have been fair to slower, in and around docks and the shorelines. Not all areas of the lake are seeing the action; the up and down levels of the water and the recent water clarity changes have had an effect on the activity. Report submitted by Chris Newkirk, game warden stationed in Delaware County. --- Tenkiller Lake May 18 - Elevation is 0.5 ft. above normal and stable, water temperature 72°F and stained. (USACE Lake Level) Largemouth and spotted bass fair on crankbaits, plastic baits, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures around brush structure, coves, flats, and shorelines. White bass good on Alabama rigs, crankbaits, and small lures around coves, creek channels, flats, and main lake. Blue, channel, and flathead catfish fair on cut bait, live bait, live shad, and shad around channels, river channel, and river mouth. Comments: Black bass has been fair, with the early hours of the day or late evening being the better opportunities. They can be found near schools of shad. Top water early has been successful for anglers. White bass can also be found in coves and the main lake, schooling and feeding. When spotting schooling up and hitting the surface, catching them can be easy but toughens up once they stop. Report submitted by Cody Youngblood, game warden stationed in Cherokee County. --- Lake Eufaula May 17 - Elevation is 1.5 ft. above normal and falling, water temperature 69°F and murky. (USACE Lake Level) Striped bass, striped bass hybrids, and white bass good on crankbaits, flukes, jigs, lipless baits, live bait, and live shad below the dam, discharge, and tailwater. Blue, channel, and flathead catfish fair on cut bait, dough bait, live bait, and live shad below the dam, channels, river channel, river mouth, and rocks. Crappie good on hair jigs, jigs, minnows, and spoons around brush structure, docks, riprap, and shallows. Report submitted by Jake Rowland, game warden stationed in McIntosh County.
