Gambliman is right!!! The fish are waitng for the right temps to make there move. But keep in mind that Eufaula is a like 7 lakes combined!!! I have caught spawning fish in March and in June!!! Also remeber that the females only stay on the nest for a 36 hr period where they lay there eggs and leave!!! But they don't always lay at one time they will lay and leave several times until they are done!! If the weather conditions or lake level aren't right they won't lay at all!! They will hold there eggs!!!How often do you catch females that are on the bank spawning? If I am catching spawning fish 90% of them are males not females!!! The females are with in a 2ft depth of where they lay there eggs and are real close in open water to the nest!! I have caught the females out from the banks when my partner was beating the buck bushes catching the males!!! Any thoughts? EB
