Largemouth Bass

Current Report: Good To Very Good
Outlook: Very Good

Considered by Bassmaster to be among the best bass lakes in the country, Lake Eufaula is living up to this reputation. Most bass have been off-shore throughout the Winter, but are moving shallow for the Spring spawn ritual. Quite a variety of lures are catching nice largemouth bass here, both deep and shallow. Many tournament anglers are placing high in tournaments by throwing vibrating jigs as their prime bait. Jigs are always a go-to bait here. During slow times, a jerkbait or a stick worm, rigged wacky style, is taking plenty of fish. Eufaula is also home to smallmouth and spotted bass,

Current Report: Good To Very Good
Outlook: Very Good To Excellent

Crappie are already spawning in shallow water, and are very cooperative to anglers throwing small crappie jigs or live minnows. As usual, Spring is a great time to be on the water as crappie move into shallow coves to spawn. Docks, boat houses, brush, wood and deep vegetation are all producing big, fat crappie. Light tackle and long rods with 4 lb to 8 lb line is ideal.

White Bass

Current Report: Good
Outlook: Good To Very Good

Known as "sandies", or "sand bass" by locals, white bass are starting their spawn run now that the water temperature is getting into the mid 50's. Inflow water from the Canadian, North Canadian, Deep Fork, and other flowing rivers, are the best place to find big schools of white bass now. White bass move upstream into these rivers, and running creeks, and will congregate for several weeks. Swimbaits, curly-tail jigs, underspins, small crankbaits, small jerkbaits, and most any lure that looks like baitfish, are catching plenty of these tasty sandies. During Summer, Fall and Winter the white bass migrate back to the main lake areas, following schools of baitfish.
