Lake Eufaula archives

I remember that. . . Best fishing I had was the second week of may

Hey y'all new to the site and lake. It's my second year fishing the spawn on Eufaula. This year is much tougher than last year. Fished crowder yesterday hard for a couple hours spider rigging real slow most of the time my baits were 6' deep. Caught a few males nothing too big. Went around the corner up the creek and started killing it. Get up in those creek arms folks that's where they all are. TONS of shad up there too. Just my .02, crowder is not that productive this year for some reason. Also up north by checotah is pretty good too. Tight lines y'all.

Welcome to the board Daddy

As of tonight at midnight Eufaula will have their flood gates on, around the clock until further notice. What are your opinions of how this will effect the crappie spawn?

Good report CrapDaddyXXXL will you be up there tomorrow? I need someone to point me in the direction where the crappie are biting I have made 3 trips down to Crowder and still don't have one limit of fish.

Another inch and a half to two inches predicted through the weekend. . . Those gates are going to be open for awhile.

cant wait...lol....like the bite hasnt been tough enough

Hey EddieVD, gonna be tough with the weather coming in. Try to find a wind protected creek arm on the north side of the lake and fish shallow if there is a period of sunshine in between the storms. Try dark colors and try using minners or a jig with a blade. If the storms produce a lot of wind the fish will likely be scattered, and even without wind the waters gonna be chocolate milk.

Crapdaddyxxxl I fished today in 8 fow and caught alot of fish with about half that where too small. Ended up with 11 and 4 or 5 15 and a half in fish. Good day for me!

As Ranger said - you just gotta adapt. I recall that when I lived at Longtown the best fishing I had in the Spring was when the lake was really high or really low. It's called the big muddy for a reason. I'll be there next week.
