LAKE EUFAULA — “Don't be taking our brush out of here,” a local fisherman quipped as I tugged on my fishing line to retrieve yet another crappie jig from one of the many former Christmas trees that had been immersed around the dock. “Hey, you got that quick release down pat!” another witty crappie angler shouted as I missed a chance to land a fish. The verbal barbs on the fishing dock Tuesday morning were as sharp as the ones on the fishing hooks. It was all in good fun, of course, and there is nothing more fun than catching a mess of crappie in the spring when they are easy picking. April is the time of year when the crappie move into shallow water to spawn on Oklahoma lakes and they are easier to catch, at least for those of us who are not spending most of their fishing time battling brush and retying crappie jigs. There is no busier place in Oklahoma for crappie fishing in April than at Lake Eufaula.Read more on NewsOK.com
