Only been to Eufaula twice in my life and that was many years go to Lake Point State Park. My wife wants to go fish somewhere other than the coosa river and spend the night. I suggested Eufaula. Anyone know of a nice, clean place to stay on the water with a boat ramp? Or a nice clean place to stay period with a boat ramp near by? I would like a place that I could leave boat hooked to truck and charge batteries over night. We plan on going September 18-19.

Thanks

White Oak may have cabins around the campground. There’s a boat launch in the park. It’s on the south end of the lake.

You should think about going north not south. Lake Wheeler is great this time of year. Smallmouth will be schooling early then you can hit the grass for some monster largemouth. If you follow the river up toward Guntersville dam there’s tons of wood that’s never been flipped.

Stripe,

If we did decide to go to Wheeler, where would you suggest staying? What area of the lake? I have never been to wheeler.

Decatur Harbor is a good midpoint to fish out of. Great launch easy access safe and free. Plenty of hotels nearby.

I had a cabin at the mouth of Pataula Creek on Eufaula for 10 years. You couldn’t drag me down there in September.

What is it you don’t like about Eufaula in Sept.?

The lower end where I stayed was a Dead Sea that time of year. Most of the fish were on the ledges and
there’s to many miles of water. Up river it could be a different story maybe some grass. I never fished that end.

Stay at Joe Wheeler State Park. Get you a cast net and drift the Wheeler Dam tailrace with live shad. Smallmouth city. Check the generation schedule and be sure to go when the turbines are open. More current=much better fishing.

A man that runs a Basscat can’t throw a cast net. Want to know why? Because he doesn’t want to.😁

Not sure what brand of boat you own dictates your use of a cast net and really don't care but hope you enjoy your trip wherever that may be.

I owned a Basscat for 18yrs. Now I own a Triton. I don’t use live bait anyway. I love the joy of artificial lures 😀

I love using artificials as well and you can catch your fair share on 4" smoke color grubs and swim baits in the tailrace. Drifting live shad has been a September/October thing on Wheeler for decades. My wife likes fishing as long as they're biting but your gal may be a lot more patient than mine.

I’ve fished Wilson and Pickwick a couple of times in March/April past two yrs ago. Only caught 1 small mouth. Managed a decent amount of LM though.

October is prime time for Smallmouth on the upper end of Pickwick and November on the middle section towards Natchez Trace and Waterloo.

I would love to catch a giant smallmouth. That and a 4lb crappie would be the only fish I would ever mount.
