Bakerhill Fishing: Easy Access to Southeast Alabama’s Best Freshwater Fishing 

Fishing tours in Barbour County, near Bakerhill, should always include Lake Eufaula. This massive man-made reservoir is on the Chattahoochee River, a major river that runs along the borders of Alabama and Georgia. Once known as the Bass Fishing Capital of the World, Lake Eufaula remains one of the prime bass fishing spots in the region and all of the United States. It is primarily known for its largemouth bass and spotted bass fisheries, but anglers also go on crappie fishing trips on the lake. There are likewise striped bass fishing charters servicing the water body. 

There are several ways to access Lake Eufaula within Alabama. Public boat ramps dot the county. Those owned by the city (Old Creek Town and Barbour Creek boat ramps) and the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division (Thomas Mill Creek) are free to use. Other boat ramps or boat landings can be found in Lakepoint State Park. Pier anglers can find these structures in Old Creek Town Park and Highland Park.

The best time to target bass in the lake is during spring. However, it is also bass tournament season around that time, so schedule your fishing trips on weekdays if possible to avoid the crowds.

Blue Springs State Park in nearby Clio is a small state park with a unique swimming spring and a fishing pond stocked with bluegill, catfish, and bass. Within the property, anglers can access the waters of the Choctawhatchee River, one of the state’s 10 Natural Wonders. It is home to freshwater favorites such as largemouth bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish, spotted bass, hybrid white and striped bass known as sunshine bass, warmouth, and different sunfish species like redear sunfish.
