2008 Eufaula Tournament Dates

May 1, 2008

Conditions on Lake Eufaula are as follows. 

The current lake elevation is 189.52.  The water on the main lake and in the creeks is clear to slightly stained.  The surface temperature is running in the mid 70's.  Since the last report, a lot of fish spawned around the full moon.  As is normally expected just after a major wave of spawning activity, the fishing has been a little tough over the last couple of weeks.  The best patterns going have been to target "fry guarders" with trick worms around hydrilla just out from spawning areas.  Some fish are also being caught in the same areas with top-water baits.  Finally, a few fish are showing up on shallow ledges in the 8-10 foot range, and are being caught on Stanford Cedar Shad crankbaits in the sexy shad color.  The fishing shouldn't change a lot until the water temperature approaches 80 degrees.  Then you can expect more fish to start moving out to the ledges, especially if the water level drops to below 188.0. As always, enjoy God's creation, and do your part to help protect it!

P.S.  For those of you who have been unable to get your hands on the Basstrix swimbaits,  Big Bite Baits plans to release their version of the bait around the first of the year.  I have seen these lures worked side by side in clear water and I can tell you that the Big Bite Baits version can be fished slower and has a much better action than the Basstrix.  The plant is gearing up in anticipation of an overwhelming demand for the baits, but make sure you visit their web-site often to order some in case they are unable to meet demand.  Their web address is www.bigbitebaits.com

If you have questions or comments please send an e-mail to mrbass932@bellsouth.net. I'll be glad to help or point you to someone who can.
