From the moment you step on our boat, you'll know you're in for a treat. We provide all the top-notch gear you need - live bait, quality rod and reels, and tackle that'll make even the wariest fish take notice. All you need to bring is your fishing license and a good attitude.

And don't worry if you're new to fishing - our guides are patient teachers who'll have you casting like a pro in no time.
On Lake Eufaula, we mix it up depending on what's working. Some days, we might be flipping jigs into heavy cover for largemouth. Other times, we'll be finesse fishing with soft plastics along deeper structure. For crappie, we often use live minnows or small jigs around brush piles and standing timber. Our guides stay on top of the latest patterns, so you're always fishing the most effective techniques. We'll teach you the ins and outs of each method, from proper hook sets to reading your electronics to find those hidden honey holes.
Folks who fish with us tend to make it a habit, and for good reason. There's something special about watching the sun rise over Lake Eufaula as you cast your first line of the day. Maybe it's the thrill of feeling that first tug on your line, or the satisfaction of netting a fish you've been working all morning. Our guests tell us they love the mix of relaxation and excitement, the chance to learn new skills, and the stories they get to take home (even if some of them might grow a bit with each telling).
Largemouth Bass: The king of Lake Eufaula, these hard-fighting fish are what dreams are made of. They can grow to impressive sizes here, with 5-pounders being common and the chance at a true trophy always possible. Spring and fall are prime times, but we catch them year-round. Largemouth in Eufaula love to hang around structure - fallen trees, dock pilings, and weed edges are all prime territory. There's nothing quite like the explosion of a big bass hitting a topwater lure at dawn.
Crappie: Don't let their size fool you - these tasty panfish are a blast to catch and even better on the dinner table. Lake Eufaula is known for its excellent crappie fishing, with both black and white crappie present in good numbers. They tend to school up, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Spring is the peak season when they move shallow to spawn, but fall and winter can produce some of the biggest fish of the year. Jigging around brush piles or using live minnows under a float are two of our go-to techniques.
Listen, the fish are waiting and the boat's ready - all we need is you.

Crappie are some of the tastiest fish in Lake Eufaula, usually weighing in at half a pound to a pound. You'll find them schooling around brush piles, fallen trees, and dock pilings, typically in 6-15 feet of water. Spring is the hottest time as they move shallow to spawn, but fall can be great too. Crappie aren't known for putting up a big fight, but they're a blast to catch on light tackle. Plus, there's nothing better than a mess of fried crappie for dinner. To really fill the cooler, try using a small jig under a slip bobber. Slowly work it around structure, and when that bobber dips, you're in business. Just remember to set the hook gently – crappie have soft mouths.
Largemouth bass are the big dogs of Lake Eufaula, usually running 2-6 pounds but sometimes topping 10. They love hiding around submerged timber, weed beds, and rocky points. Spring and fall are prime times, but you can catch 'em year-round. These fish put up a serious fight when hooked, often leaping clear out of the water. It's a rush every angler should experience. Their meat's pretty good eating too, especially the smaller ones. For best results, try working a plastic worm slowly along the bottom near structure. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook hard and hang on tight!
