X2...Ranger

Had a pretty good day on Eufaula..sunny and windy..kept 33 today rigging minnows in 10' to 14' DOW fishing 8' deep. At times it got so busy I couldn't keep all my lines in the water. Had 4 poles in the water and with 3 big fish on, it was jerk flop in boat, and jerk flop in boat, and jerk and land..only bad thing about flopping fish in the bottom of the boat was they like to get tangled up...lol...Early they were deeper and later in the day they got shallow..biggest was 1.71lb..WT was 46.8 when I left....Ranger

Good report Mark, 33 fish and some good ones too. Sure sounds like you had fun.

Awesome. was that on south end of lake? Ducktracker and i are gonna give the north end a try in the morning. i will post results tomorrow night. wish us luck. lol

Longan I would say pretty close to midlake...like EB stated the fish are in a pattern where they are moving around alot so you just have to cover alot of water to find the spot of the day. I watched several fisherman yesterday and talked with several and jigs were not the bait of choice for the day. Yeah they were catching a few but nothing like the minnows were, but again I had a few more baits in the water too. I hadn't bought a minnow in 15 yrs before I hooked up with EB now I buy a few every so often just to relax and sit back on a cold day and enjoy the scenery...Ranger

Lake is coming up, instead of over 5 feet low, only around 3-1/2 now. Glad its coming up slowly, don't want it climbing too rapidly and messing everything up.

Stink let it come on up, it fishes much better when its high anyway! Hearing good reports the last few days, water temps are from 46-50 degrees and fish are getting active! EB

Fished today rigging minnows along creek channels today and kept 31 really nice fish. My biggest 7 weighed 11.13 with a 2.01 big fish. DOW early was 14' with WT at 45.6. It warmed to 50.8 by days end. The crappie moved closer to 10' to 12' by mid morning. As soon as the clouds covered the sun they moved back to the channel break in 15'......Ranger
