Lake Eufaula Fishing Report February 2015

Eufaula: Level: 1.4 feet below 190 full pool. Temp: 49-53 degrees. Clarity: Stained.

Bass: Tournament pro Les Bratcher reports, “Lake Eufaula is in winter pattern. There have been catches shallow on warm days on a jig, but most anglers who winter fish are grabbing a jigging spoon and going deep. The spring is on the way, and Eufaula should be one of the places you need to be at. All indications this should be a fun spring with lots of big sacks being brought to the scales.” Guide Sam Williams reports, “The lower-than-normal temperatures are keeping most of the fishermen off the water. Those tough fishermen who are braving below 20-degree morning temperatures are getting a few nice bass on very slow moving jigs.”

Crappie: Sam reports, “Crappie are harder to find in the dirty water. When the winds lay and the water clears up, they will be caught on the creek ledges and on deeper trashpiles. Remember to keep your bait above the schools, as crappie will not go down for a meal. They are always looking up, making a profile with the skyline important.”
