Fishing
Eufaula: Level: 0.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 55-59 degrees. Clarity: Slightly stained. Bass: Fair. The last few cold fronts have pushed the fish deep, and Jay Grogan is catching most of his fish on spoons right now. “Most everything has gotten down to spooning right now,” Jay said. “It was pretty hot two weeks…
Dave Krantz was on a good bite in Columbus. He spent 2 1/2 hours with the boat running, while Mark Massey stayed much closer to Cowikee Creek. In the end, less than a pound separated these two semi-final anglers. On a super tough day at Eufaula, a keeper in the last 45 minutes propelled Mark…
Eufaula: Level: 2.4 feet below full pool. Temp: Low to mid 70s. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Good. Frogs fished over tops of grass and lily pads should get better as more bass begin to move shallow. David Lowery said he’ll have a buzzbait handy, too. If the topwater bite is slow, try throwing a slower…
Eufaula: Level: 2.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 81 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Great. Butch Tucker said most of the bass have stayed shallow all year, but the bite will intensify as the water cools. “The frog bite will be good early in the grass,” said Butch. “Buzzbaits, spinnerbaits — they’ll be good, too.…
Eufaula: Level: 2.3 feet below full pool. Temp: 86 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good. According to Steve Holt, winner of Saturday’s Fishermen For The Hungry tournament, the deep bite is about gone — at least for quality fish. “The good ledge fishermen aren’t doing much,’ said Steve. “In September the dog days are getting over…
Level: 4.0 feet low. Temp: 85-90 degrees. Clarity: Lower end is clear. Upper end has normal stain. Bass: Good. Jay Grogan said, “In the morning we’re fishing along the deep water where the river channel cuts in. We’re throwing white buzzbaits along the drop offs and around whatever cover is left with the water so…
Eufaula: Level: 2.9 feet below full. Temp: 90 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Fair. Charles Ingram said the bass should really start to stack up on the main ledges in 18 to 20 feet of water. “I like channel bends or mouths of ditches,” said Charles. “I like ledges that have a point on it. If…
Bass fisherman Dennis Smith has decided that there is something to all the hype around bass fishing with a frog. “I swore I wouldn’t use it,” he said. “But people were bringing in big bags of fish caught on the frog. “My friend John Brady and I were fishing together and he was catching fish…
Level: 1.8 feet below full. Temp: 78 degrees. Clarity: Fairly clear, to a light stain. Bass: Ronnie Gregory and a friend went out last Tuesday, and their best five went about 17 pounds. “We caught them shallow in grass near deep water on a Paca Craw fished Texas rig with a 1/4-oz. weight.” They also…
As the boat glided to a stop, Larry Kennedy started setting rods in the rod holders near the bow. “You can put those four in the holders on the stern,” he said as he pointed to lightweight spinning rods near the rear seat. “We’ll start out trolling first and see if we can pick up…
