Lake Eufaula (Florance Landing)

At last, feeling almost good enough to go fishing. Went to Eufaula, put in at Florance, went up the lake. We fished the creek on the left (we call windy lake) and then the creek on the right. Caught fish all day but most were hand size+. Here is a few pics.......really surprised to see fish in the back of creeks with 50 degree water temps........but what do I know. I will probably go to Blackshear before going back to Eufaula.

Glad to see a report from there lightwire. We are going over friday and saturday aint been there in about 6 years. Anybody else been lately are got any advise.

Good to see you feeling good enough to take Chuck and his girlfriend out fishing...Hope I can give a good report from Crescent Lake this weekend!!

Thanks for the report and glad you are doing better. I will probably head over there the week of the 18th for my annual MLK crappie day. I didn't get over there last year like I wanted to. Any reports from down the lake on the AL side? There was a creek down there that was good in Jan a couple years ago.

You may not have caught Lake Talquin size, but it looks like you had fun.:fish

Lightwire..........Those pics of windy lake brings back a lot of memories. Mostly of re-tying jigs....LOL!!! One of the prettiest lakes you'll ever go to for sure, at least on the Northern end!!

Blackshear for me to!!!! A lot closer, GAS prices are out the roof....thinking about maybe going to Oconee, and try Sandy and Rocky Creeks this Saturday. Just maybe, need to clean yard before they really start biting....::

I guess you decided against Crescent this weekend...Gonna be a good time and the fishing reports I have been getting this week from Crescent are great...Good Luck wherever you go:fish

The "only" way you can fish in those areas is Litewirehooks. First time I got hung, I pulled up double jigs that someone had lost.......I used the jigs.

Hooker.......how was the water color and level at Eufaula when you went?

Good.....Creeks were little stained but you could still see the stumps couple feet under the water. Full Level......

Thanks Curtis. I hope to report back with some slabs this week some time.

Still mostly small ones in the creeks. Water temps jumped up to 64. Probably could have fished harder if the rain had let up some. New rain suit worked good. Maybe next time the bite will be better. Was good to be back on Eufaula.
