Fishing At Lake Eufaula

AKA: Walter F George Lake

Fishing for largemouth bass, spotted bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish, blue catfish, black crappie, white crappie, bluegill, redear sunfish and hybrid striped bass at Lake Eufaula in Alabama.

With over 600 miles of shoreline to fish, Lake Eufaula, AKA Walter F George Lake, is a bass anglers paradise. This fertile, 45,000-acre lake is located in the southeast corner of Alabama on the AL/GA border. In addition to spotted and largemouth bass the lake supports healthy populations of hybrid stripers, crappie, catfish, bluegill and redear sunfish. Numerous boat launch ramps, the marina, several parks and numerous campgrounds enhance your trip to the lake for camping, boating and fishing. Boat ramps provide access for pontoon boats, pleasure boats, bass boats and all types of fishing boats. Canoes and kayaks can be portaged from areas of shoreline with access for fishing from the bank. Boat docks and brush are ideal hideouts for bass and sunfish, and the shoreline of Lake Eufaula is dotted with plenty of both. In Spring, bass use this shallow cover for feeding and spawning, then move to outside structure like points, islands, ledges and creek channels. Hybrid striped bass tend to school, following schools of baitfish as they migrate shallower in Spring and Fall then deeper around river channels in winter and summer. Catfish fishing can be good year round with the best fishing in warmer months, up lake.
