If he catches a fish, he’ll slow down and hit the dock about five more times. He’ll fish the spinnerbait all the way on the bottom just as slow as he can roll it, and he’ll yo-yo the Xr75 waiting for the strike while it flutters to the bottom. For search baits, Stephen likes an Xcalibur Xr75 in the Tennessee shad color for his rattling bait and a chartreuse/white or solid white spinnerbait with double, gold willowleaf blades. Start by searching under docks and around posts with a spinnerbait or a lipless crankbait. The fish are schooled up around bait, and once he finds them he’ll settle down on them to try and fill his limit. He’s fishing the deep docks right now, in 12 to 18 feet of water as close as he can find them to the river channel. When the water hits around 50 to 60 in the next few months, focus shallow with Terry Bowden’s Cold Steel Walking Stick or topwater frog, which always catches me a good sack in the spring.” Stephen McCord said the fish are super lethargic in these cold water temperatures, but having taken second in a recent tournament, he seems to have them figured out as well as anyone right now. Lots of the good spots to fish are guarded by armed duck hunters. The water level has been fluctuating up and down about a foot during the week.
Eufaula is still averaging well over 15 pounds a day in tournaments. They will begin to bite spinnerbaits and topwater more as the water begins to warm. Some can be found schooled up in the pockets off the main lake where they prefer to do their spawning. Anthony Goggins reports, “The fish are holding shallow, as usual, although some are holding deep.
