Thread: Lake Eufaula archives

What a day on Eufaula today. There were 3 boats of us and we all fished different areas. My boat fished the Cardinal point area, one of the guys fished the Elm point area, and the other boat fished the Longtown area. We knocked off about 4pm in my boat and had 67 keepers over 10 inches. Most of our fish were females caught in 5-8 fow. We caught most of them on big blk/char., blk/pink beavertails and big electric chicken slab slayers. The boat in Elm point area finished wtih 111 keepers and caught some on minnows and most on jigs, blk/pink and blk/char. They said early in the day they caught their fish in 5-8 fow then late this afternoon they were right on the bank. The boat in the Longtown area finished with 74. They caught all their fish on jigs. They said most of their fish were in 1-3 fow. 3 of us are going tomorrow in one baot and I will report tomorrow night.

Thanks for the report DHO, was wondering where you'd been lurking!

It was a good day not to be at work! (which I was) I got the same kind of report from a friend on Gibson. Off today!

Thanks for the report Doug, We are taking a friend of ours from Edmond down south Thursday, it should be good before this next front comes in.

Any Ideas what the rain is going to do for the crappie bite Saturday after the rain. Forecast now are showing the rain should be out by Saturday morning. Is it according to how much we get or what?

It should help raise the shallow water temps if anything. That's the diff. from last year....we had more cloud cover to hold the temps stable overnight, this year with the bluebird days every morning has been cool and that alows the heat of day to radiate away and cool the water right back down.

Any tips on where an outta stater can catch a few fish? I'm headed down on Friday, but won't be fishing till Monday or so. I will be staying in Warner. From reading the posts, sounds like fishing slabs down in your neck of the woods is a little different than up here in MN. When they hit the spawning beds up here 90% of the time its in shallow reeds.

Also, I see some references to Three Rivers area of the lake. Where exactly is that?

Yesterday we were down to 3 people so we took one boat. We started trying the shallows in the morning and kept about 15 -20. We then went down to Elm point area and caught some nice females in 6-8 fow and several males in 1-3 fow. Left there with another 50 or so. We then went to Longtown in the afternoon and caught the females in 5-8 fow and the males in 1-3 fow. We kept about 15- 20 there. Final total for the day was 91 kept. We caught several nice black crappie in the Longtown area. The biggest black crappie weighed 2lbs 1 oz. I caught a white female that was 16 inches long and weighed 2 lbs 4 ozs in the Elm point area. My buddy took some pictures that I will try to post later. All fish caught on jigs.

Today we were down to 2 of us and we fished the Gentry creek area. Caught some nice females in 5-9 fow then started fishing the shallows with a jig and cork. The jig was set about 8" below the cork and the fish were in 1-2 fow. We left at 4pm today and had 71.

I enjoyed fishing with some guys that I don't get to fish with very often, since I moved to Oologah. It was a well spent 3 day vacation. I am back home now and after reading the Oologah report it sounds like I got home just in time for some great fishing up here.
