We spider-rigged a little and caught a few that way but we mostly pulled jigs. This is only the third time that I fished this technique and we had a blast. It definatly has its place,when fish are scattered and eating everything in sight. Good fishing! EB
EB - Were you pulling tandem jigs? What weight were the jigs?
Thanks for the good report, I've never tried long-lining, but will when I get back on the water.Quote:

Thanks for the report. I am off for the next 10 days and plan on hitting some water somewhere during that time.
Hi all,
We would like to spend our vacation at Lake Eufaula this summer, but don't know where to stay or fish. We do not have a boat so we would be fishing off the banks. Is there a place to stay that would also be a good place to fish? Cabin, campground, anything would work.
Thanks
Patti
Went out today with my dad. We did some Huckabee still fishing. Run and gun stand up timber. I bet we caught over 100 crappie today on pumpkin/chartruese and black/pink beaver tails on a 1/8 oz jig head. Fished in 12-20' of water anywhere around 8-17' deep. The bad thing is we only managed 17 keepers. Should of had more, but I couldn't get my dad to lift his pole straight up so we could land them all he wanted to do was slide it backwards in his hands. He lost around 10 keepers that I know of because of this. The bite was good when the wind was blowing then it went still and so did the fish.
You know it doesn't matter how many we caught or kept the main thing is I spent quailty time with my aging dad, doing what we like to do best.
Plan on hitting it again before I have to head back to work, but have to rebuild the rear end on my truck first. Well better get off here to get that done. The fish are waiting for someone to came pay them a visit and I can't do that sitting here watching my truck not get worked on.
Good luck to anyone who hits Eufaula this weekend.

My brother puts metal lures/jigs (?) with treble hooks on them when trolling in the pontoon boat. Is that the same as long-lining? His drags them about 100 yards behind the boat. Usually he catches sand bass in shallow water. Does it sound the same?
Thanks

Did they drain the lake dry? Where are the reports?
Thanks: love to hear from someone
