Ken Greene of Lumpkin knows a lot about cooking chicken, being the owner of three Zaxby’s restaurants, but he also knows just as much about bass fishing. Since GON is a hunting and fishing publication, we’re going to stick to the bass-fishing topics today. Living just minutes away from Florence Marina on the north end…
Eufaula: Level: Full pool. Temp: 52-54 degrees. Clarity: Clear on main lake; light stain in the creeks. Bass: Good, especially for numbers, said Tim Malcolm. “Most of the fish I have been catching have been from the mouth to about halfway back in the creeks. In creeks where the water was heavily stained, largemouths in…
Eufaula: Level: 0.9 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 60s. Clarity: Clear to slight stain. Bass: Good.

Eufaula: Level: 4.7 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid 60s to low 70s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good.

Eufaula: Level: Down 4.7 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 90s. Clarity: Clear to slightly stained. Bass: Good.

Level: 3.8 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid to upper 80s. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair. Guide Billy Darby said the fish are biting, but you have to do a little looking to find them. “If you can find the ledges that are holding fish, you can crank the ledges in the middle of the day…
Throughout the summer and into the winter, hybrids, largemouths and white bass school together on Eufaula.
