Springhill Duckman - My first and only trip to Eureka was about a year and a half ago in the fall, same keeper to dink rate as you experienced, and also really didn't have to go farther than 20yrds from the boat ramp to find the crappie. Brushpiles we found weren't holding fish that day. I love those small lakes for crappie fishing, even though they have a lot of small fish.

kingfish - Sorry for hijacking your thread. I'm guessing you used the boatramp on the verdigris, and didn't travel up there from the main lake. Need to go check that area out someday.
