Thread: Lake Eufaula archives

Catching a few on the local dock here in Arrowhead Estates by the boat ramp. Best biting is right after sun up and about an hour before dark using either minnows or jigs. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and best of luck catching crappie.

The last time I went I got skunked! Not much of a report. I heard they are cacthing them in the docks. EB

Well I got to get out for a couple of hours yesterday evening on the north end. Got back to some of my old techniques fishing, I was spider rigging minnows over channel edges 20 ft deep over 20-30 fow. I ended up catching one crappie and one catfish. Bot were potbellys full of shad! So its looking up I didnt get skunked this time

I thought I might post a report for Eufaula, there is fish being caught on the south end of the lake. The temps are ranging from 48-55 degrees. So the fish are in transtion from there winter spots to there spring migrations. I would suggest a form of trolling to find them, spider irigging or double dippin. You might caught them on breaklines or out over the channel. Finding the shad really helps. The lake is 4.8 below normal but could change any day. Most parts of the lake are ok to navigate and few dangerous areas come to mind. Between I-40 and 150 bridges. Oakridge 9A bridge to Arrowhead. BEware of the old highway that runs threw the lake it visible cant miss that, and the mouth of the creeks are very very shallow so take your time. The fishing will be picking up this time of year it always does. The last 3 trips on Eufaula I have caight very nice fish! I hope this helps everyone? EB

What about the Gains Creek ramp, is there enough water to launch there? Thanks!

Yes you can get to the creek from the ramp! EB

Brian thanks for the info, been thinking about coming down! Sounds like things are on the upswing! Maybe we will get some rain one of these days.

I think the fishing is picking up as well as the lake level. Had a couple of guys tell me they had a good day last weekend. Caught there limit of nice fish. Not sure where they were but I think it was somewhere south. EB
