Lake Eufaula - Freshwater Fishing Report
Lake Level 189.65
Water Temperature Upper 40's
Water Clarity Very Muddy
Heavy rains and wind have left the river extremely muddy, any worse and you could see deer tracks on the water.
We fished this week and saw one commercial cat fisherman on the water all day, Even the hard core crappie fishermen stayed in.We did caught bass, in spite of the muddy water. The fish hit a buzz bait across the top near old cover. Spinner baits fished on top work also. A jig with a rattle will make enough noise to attract a strike. The fish we caught were full of shad, so it takes some work to aggravate a hit. Work the bait in the same spot several times before moving on.
Catfish on cut bait are slow but doing some good. The cut bait has more smell and does good in dirty water.
Crappie will be back hot and heavy when the water clears up some.
