AKA: Walter F George Lake
Popular Fish Species Lake Eufaula, AL
Largemouth Bass Fishing
As one of the premiere largemouth bass fishing lakes in the country, Lake Eufaula will deliver excellent bass fishing again this year. The lake has fertile water, and plenty of cover for both baitfish and bass. Fishing for largemouth bass is good virtually any time they are shallow - in spring, mornings in summer, and during warm Fall afternoons. Use shallow crankbaits around rip rap. Around grass use worms, jigs, topwater and spinnerbaits. In deeper water, big worms, jigs and spoons are three good weapons. In winter, spend your time on deeper structure. Smallmouth bass and spotted bass also reside here in good numbers.
Crappie Fishing
Both black crappie and white crappie reside in Lake Eufaula, and crappie are a very popular species this year. Crappie fishing is delivering some big slabs and they can be found in sizeable schools. Crappie always like cover and structure, so locate brush and vegetation. Using a fish finder can help locate schools of crappie, which tend to stack vertically around cover. In spring and fall focus on the 8 to 12 foot range. As the crappie move deep in summer and winter, follow points out deep, as well as find ledges near channels in deeper water. White crappie, in smaller numbers, also make this lake their home.
Channel Catfish Fishing
This year channel catfish are the most abundant catfish to populate the waters of Lake Eufaula. In Spring channel cats migrate toward incoming water, so stay up river away from the main lake. In early summer look for rocky banks, the bigger the rocks the better. In summer and winter deeper structure is where to look. Fishing for channel catfish is often productive around any kind of structure in the area. Road beds, creek channels and rocky points are all good places to begin. Use a slip sinker or Carolina rig with popular catfish baits. Other catfish in the lake include flathead and blue catfish.
