Blue Catfish
Lake Eufaula, also known as Walter F. George Reservoir, is a prime destination for trophy blue catfish. What sets Eufaula apart is its vast size and diverse structure, from submerged timber and creek channels to deep river ledges, all holding big blues. The fall and winter months are particularly productive as catfish gorge themselves before the colder periods, and then again during the pre-spawn in the spring. Focus on the main river channel and its intersections with major creeks. For bank access, try the area around Lakepoint State Park; it offers several fishing piers and shoreline access. A local tip: using fresh cut bait, especially gizzard shad, is crucial for enticing the larger fish. Be prepared for a fight; these Eufaula blues are known for their strength and stamina.
