Enterprise 2

Friday, January 15th, 2016 | Author:

Tom and I went for a rematch on Lake Enterprise on Thursday. Water temperature was 49 to 51 degrees, the same as last week. The water was two feet higher than last Friday which made the water where we caught fish 14 to 13 feet deep rather than 12 to 11. That small change would not let my DT-10 touch the bottom and that seemed to be needed to catch a fish. Tom had a deeper diver, made in China, that worked fine in the deeper water. I put on a DT-16 but it took me a pretty good while to figure out how to make it work without dredging up cypress leaves off the bottom. The DT-16 and a 5 XD would get to the bottom and unfortunately two stayed there. My vaunted lure saving “gitter” was only 1 for 3. Once again,”Mr brag always loses his tail”. We also used rattletrap/Yozuri lipless cranks fished SLOWLY right on the bottom. The slowly thing was part of my problem I know. Most of the fish we caught were hooked on the back hook indicating they were just not into feeding like they were last week. The larger fish were absent too. Our FOD was about 2 1/2 pounds. The lake is full of shad. The depthfinder showed clouds of them most of the time. The fish showed this as they were all fat and in good shape. We ended up with 15, mostly thanks to Tom.
