I've never did much fall crappie fishing and was wondering if anyone had a report or advice for fishing Eufaula in the fall. I usually just fish after hunting season.

I don't fish it much at all. I have not had much luck at all there. The only thing I know is the sunken bridge at pataula creek.

October and November are pretty good fishing at Eufaula. I long line just like in spring but concentrate in 15-25 ft of water. sometimes I find fish in 10-12 fow if the afternoon is warm. Look fro shad balls as the fish will be feeding on them. I run double 16ths, but will change up to 1/16-1/32 or double 32nds or even a 1/32-1/48 if needed. Best colors for me are blue shiner, wiess lake killer, blue/chartruese, tennesse shad/char...with pink or orange head.
Hope this helps you out.
Yes it does. Thank you very much. I will give that a try. I'm going to try and make it over on the Oct. 27th-29th.
Tony Adams is the manager at Marvins hardware in eufaula can guide you . He is the best . I took my boat and friends on his, we caught a limited for four people . He will teach you on the lake .

I have his card in my wallet. I have talked with him several times about crappie fishing. My parents have a house in Chattahoochee Estates so we are always having to go to Marvin's for something. I wish my local hardware stores knew as much as those do.
He is a really nice person. I can not say enough good things about him. We really enjoyed his company and knowledge. Very good crappie fishermen.

Start at the main bridge and follow the river channel. The water there is 75 to 80 feet . We used cut mullet.

What about the depth for crappie? Are they suspended for tight to structure?
Tight to structure. Found them in 8 ft and some in 15 ft on the south end of lake

Thank you. I just bought me a new boat and I'm trying to get it rigged and ready. Going to get trolling batteries today so I can power everything up and make sure I wired it correctly.
I’m going to eufaula tomorrow. If I find any I will let you know. Don’t count on me finding any it will be the blind leading the blind.Quote:

I talked to my dad during lunch today and he said a man went last week after the hurricane went through and they were biting in about 12-20 fow. He didn't say if they were suspended or holding tight.
Go to south end of lake be sure to follow river channel between marker buoys. When you get down there make a right before and go slow there in a lot of trees just under water. Start scanning with your down scan or what you have you will start finding them hanging around trees and you will find the how deep they are. Be careful because trees . It will be around 12 to 18 feet

Didn’t find any. Long lined west of dam, hard ridge creek, and pataula creek. We caught 3 bass. Waves were white capping and coming over front of boat at pataula. Saw fish tight in a tree by the dam and some on a brush pile in hard ridge. But no bites there to find what they was.
