Welcome JD. I'm from around that area. Eufaula is good in the spring. It's tough this time of year. Several of the county lakes has good crappie fishing. If you don't mind traveling some. The opportunity is endless. Within 1 1/2 hours of you is lake Jordan an the Alabama river. Lake Seminole and lake talquin. All great places to fish.

thank you for your service to our country. Never fished Eufaula. Lake Talquin in North Fla is a super crappie lake. Not all that far from Eufaula. If you are ever in north Ala and want to try Weiss or Guntersville give me a shout

My wife and I love crappie fishing. I grew up crappie fishing with my mom and dad in Pintlala creek, the Alabama river, and lake Jordan. I joined the military in 88 and when I married, I proceeded to show her the way of crappie fishing. Well, am not that good at it, but when we were stationed in NC, we had a couple of really good days. She is hooked. We spent the last ten years stationed in Germany and just now returned home to Alabama. I am stationed at Ft. Rucker and intend on buying a boat soon - one suitable for spider rigging for two people in the front. Do you know the better crappie spots in SE Alabama? My guess is Eufala is good.

Sir, you need to take a look at Gant Lake and Point A Lake just outside of Andalusia. Also Coffee county lake used to be good, have no idea how it is now.
Hope this helps a little.

I'm glad you mentioned Coffee County Lake - the wife and I took a drive to Elba to gander at the lake Monday. Since I don't have a boat yet, and they rent jon boats for $5 a day, this is probably the best way for to get into some crappie until I get a boat. I drove out to Geneva County Lake a few days earlier and it looks promising too! Will look at Dale County Lake soon as well.

Hope to get out there between now and the 1st of October. I won't have electronics, but both lakes have been mapped to give us an idea on where to fish. Surely we will lose a few baits/minnows but hope to find them.
