Any reports to speak of? I notice the lake is falling but the rain sure messed it up. Will there be another spawn move this month to the banks?
Yes got some buddies out having really good trips despite the lake levels and weather. Around 50-75 keepers a day. EB
Wow that is late but glad to hear the numbers !! EB we never found them the day we met you on the ramp at the very south end and wound up with just 18 back up in the north end the next day in 10 fow. This is way late but thanks for the quick tips that day.
I got to take Frank 300 out yesterday evening. We only ended up with 6 keepers. IDK what happened at 6:00 but the fish didn't want to bite, the skies got clear and the it got dead calm. All of our bites came out of 7-9ft. We will definitely try it again another day Frank. EB
EB. I bet their calendars got mixed up and they thought it was Saturday. That sounds a lot like the way they treat me on the only day I get to fish.....Saturday.Quote:

Anyone catching north of arrowhead yet?
Anyone having better luck than me? Caught a few around arrowhead. . . Still in 12 foot of water and full of eggs.
I fished around the south end today and caught around 45-50. Only 21 keepers though between 3 of us. Caught most of them from 11:30-12:15. Caught a handful twitching a bobber around the banks. The rest I caught around docks.
Had a good evening around thirty five crappie all dinks but still fun, probably thirty big sand bass on jigs, and two twenty six inch flatheads. . . Much better than this morning.
New to the area looking for the best place and how you all fish for crappie here on the lake. Live out towards Quinton.
Head to Blocker on Hwy 31 and turn west on a little two lane black top that goes over to Crowder. Immediately after you cross the lake bridge, slow down and ease off the road to your right and that takes you down to lake level. If you have a boat, get off right before the bridge and you can use a boat ramp at Bud's Point. Or, you can go into Crowder to have access to a large boat ramp and plenty of places to bank fish. Good luck and welcome to the forum.Quote:

Last 3 trips on the south end. 83, 61, and 28 on a short trip. Look for another push to the bank this week. It's on again....Sorry my phone will not allow me to turn the pictures.......Ranger

Thanks I'll have to get some.
yeti....Eufaula is a muddy water lake.....black/chart and pumpkin (brown)/chart and pink/blk are pretty much the go to colors around here......sometimes in different places the colors may change but those are the colors that we usually start with....Good fishing and welcome to the board
Andy
Thanks Andy. I have not had much time. Hopefully I'll get to in the near future.
Was able to take my 87 year old dad today along with his friend Ricky Ayers. We started at 7:30am and finished up at 12 noon. Huckabee Rods, Fle Fly Crappie Kickers in Black/Chartreuse and Brown Pumpkin/Chartreuse on Fle Fly Big Eye Jigs 1/4oz and 3/16oz. Ended with 46 crappie in 5'-7' Dow. Technique was double dipping.......RangerAttachment 238567
Very nice Ranger, it doesn't get much better than that.
X2 what Redge said.
Headed to big E to fish this weekend, looks like it's been pretty good to the guys that know what they're doing! Any tips on where to find a few on the south end? I prefer south because I'm familiar with it! Thanks guys!
Spent two days down there prepping my RV for a trip to the mountains. Didn't even take the boat and I'm glad I didn't. That water is just plain nasty right now.
Yes, it looks like chocolate milk. I've been praying that the Lord would turn the Muddy Waters into wine.Quote:

Guys the fish are going crazy right now. Junie and I camped at Crowder Point last weekend. We caught 44 on Sat and 46 on Sunday fished 5 hrs both days. Double dippin beaver bottom baits right off bottom on rocky points. It was our first time in our camper together. We had a blast. If you know of anyone looking for a fishing trip I have lots of dates open in June. Here are some pictures. EB
Glad you guys had a great trip. Also glad they stayed put for you as well. It's an awesome bite that we have been waiting for. Like this bite hands down over the spawn. Last 2 trips has been on fire and dictated by wind like most here in Oklahoma. Thursday's trip which was windy from the north produced only 38 keepers since we were very very limited where we could fish. Friday's trip was one of those magical times on the water where we caught well over 200 and after culling all day ended with cleaning 60 really good fish......Ranger Attachment 239106Attachment 239107
ranger when you say dictated by wind and limited on where you can fish, what do you mean by that? if the wind is coming out the south, where do you fish? thanks.
Sooner with high north winds or south which ever it may be there are only a few banks on any body of water that will shield you somewhat from it. Those banks may not be exactly where you want or need to be fishing but usually you can catch some numbers. South Winds you will want to fish those south banks, behind rip rap road banks, or in east west creeks. Just the reverse on a north wind. Unless you have better and bigger batteries than I have. Most times early in the year I'm in creeks as I will be again as summer gets closer and you can always find those places to get out of the wind. Right now I'm fishing main lake areas where it's more open on a summertime or post spawn pattern. The fish are coming off their spawning beds and staging on main lake points and natural banks. They are hungry and ready to eat after a long spawning season. The wind certainly dictates where you can fish this time of year.......Ranger
Excellent lesson!!!Quote:

Good fishing around Crowder right now. Double dipping rock bluff banks in 5-8 foot of water. Todd Huckabee pro series rods and beaver bottom baits in Ashdown smack down color. No real hogs but all nice eaters.
Wife and I hit Eufaula yesterday around the mouth of Gaines double dippin black and pink and black and chart. 3" beaver tails in 5-7'on rock and gravel banks , caught over 200 kept about 40 pigs .
Last 4 days I don't how many total we caught but the bite has been good been avging between 60-80 keepers on a good day and 30-40 on a slow day. Usaaully around 15-20 over 12 inches. Biggest fish from 1.75-1.90. EB
