Thread: Lake Eufaula archives

What, sit in the AC? Geez.

Fished Eufaula Monday. I knew the south end was muddy and poor from the camp fishing reports so I tried the north end. Started at Int 40 rap. It was so muddy I didnt even launch the boat. Drove down lake and launched at Texanna road, fished the rap at highway 69 both sides, good visibility but poor fishing. Went up the channel and fished the deep timber, worse. Fished those two large coves back there, no better. Lots of sandies around that whole area, not much crappie. If anybody wants to catch a bunch of sandies, go under the bridge at 69. Ended up with 5 fish for the day. I guess I could chalk it up as a exploratory trip, I have been wanting to try that part of the lake for a while now. The poor fishing may have been due to the weather conditions or the rising lake level. It looked fishy, but I was disappointed. Added a map so you could see where I fished. The deep timber was particularly interesting, but tough to fish because the wind. If anybody has ever done good there, chime in, would love to hear it.

Fishers, good report! Thanks for the update. I like that you provide some detail about where you went and the conditions encountered!

You know that is why it is called fishing, and not catching. At least you got to look at some new water!! In general how deep was that timber?

The timber area you fished is really good from mid July on to fall.

That's right. I usually don't concentrate there until it's hotter. One of the boaters that was here with me lost his tm prop so 4 of us drug jigs from my boat Monday afternoon and yesterday morning and then I took my granddaughter out yesterday afternoon. We caught a boatload of Crappie. Had another fish fry and still froze a bunch for home. All between Blocker bridge and Arrowhead. Water is getting very muddy and is up a couple of feet.

Glad you got into them IkenI. I should have gone farther south myself. Rippers, I will try it again later like you suggested, its just too fishy to ignore. Redge, there is timber from 1 to 38 feet deep and it is spaced just perfect. Remember we were talking about places that have so much timber its hard to know were exactly to fish, this is not like that at all. It is a very large area (about 4 miles) that has well spaced trees at all depths. The spots that I checked had single trees or bunches of trees spaced about 100 feet apart. The red dots approximate, best as I can recall the the timbered areas. If you go be careful there are some lower unit munchers out there.

I like hearing the reports about good fishing around Arrowhead. There sure wasn't anything good last weekend during Crappie Camp - at least not at my dock.

Stink, have you been down to the dock to fish any this week?
