Thread: Lake Eufaula archives

Well finally got to go down to eufaula this past weekend and it was better than I expected. It started off real slow, by noon we (me and dad), only had 4 keepers. We soon moved to the other end of the lake and tried some clearer water. I located 4 different brush piles from 6-25 fow. The bigger fish 12-15" were in 7-8 ft. While the majority of fish were in 14 ft. We ended up having a great day and finished out the day with an awesome two man limit of slabs. Minnows dropshotting. Caught well over 100 fish from 1-7pm.

Great report Flip, Its funny how water clarity makes the fish pattern a little different! How many did ya'll end up keeping?

We took home 72 solid fish. Went to I 40 and gentry creek today never got a bite. I think I'll stick to the clearer h20

Yeah I live in Checotah and we are all the time trying to figure the fish out on the the north end! The only thing I can tell you is they love Pump/orange or Pink. Then make sure your baits are on the bottom, If it is 8ft fish 9ft. Here lately the fish have been good fish! I am a big water color guy, I love water that is 6 inch to a foot visibility. Don't feel bad though we are humbled up here quite often! EB

What EB said about the north end is for sure. When they are there and you are catching them, they are good fish. They are there one day, gone the next and where they go is a mystery.

Went out last Saturday for 3 or 4 hours, and caught 25 nice fish. We were fishing rip-rap in 5-8 fow with beaver-tails, pump-orange was the hot color. We had a couple of spider-riigging poles out with one jig pole our hand creeping down the rip-rap. The shad were so thick you could alomost walk on them.

Sunday we changed it up a little and went catfishing, I made two cast witht the shad net and caught a hundred or more shad. We ended up fishing for two hours and had two ice chest full of cats ranging fro 3-15lbs. We never caught a fish deeper than 3 ft. I had a good friend of mine and his 9 yr old boy with us, they had a blast catching those CATS! EB

Starting to get some days freed up, ready to do some crappie fishing! Got some open days the next few weekends! I will hopefully post some good reports! The late fall bite should be good in November! EB

Looking forward to doing to some guiding,I love the late fall and winter. The fish are fat and healthy! EB
