Thread: Lake Eufaula archives

A neighbor of mine cleaned 41 off the timber today. All were over 10". He said it was hot an had to really work hard for what he came in with.

I fished down below the dam this morning and had only one bite, no catches. Fished later at the boat ramp here at Arrowhead estates and didn't get a nibble. The guys fishing for catfish at the dam were catching a few, but no one was catching any crappie.

Its still a little too hot in my opinion. But since it was an almost "cool" morning, I was able to get in a couple of hours of fishing and that's better than nothing.

I have no idea of what the water temp is currently, couldn't even guess.

pretty much stopped crappie fishing for now...waiting on fall and winter before heading out again....I have been catching some nice 2 to 4 pound channel cats off of my boat dock on stink bait...14 feet of water....using magic bait premo blood...working pretty good!

The last report I heard on Eufaula was the surface temps were around 86 degrees. I'm sure the temps below the dam are a lot cooler.

Yep, I usually drift cut/live bait for catfish in the mornings this time of year.

If they don't bite the liver try you some turkey franks. Not beef or chicken, turkey. The eufaula catfish seem to like'm.

Get ready, these cooler overnight temps will pull schools of shad into the shallow coves and the crappie will follow. Last year I started catching them Sept.12 and it lasted well into October.
