Enterprise 3

Tuesday, January 26th, 2016 | Author:

Monday morning Jackson and I went to Enterprise again. The water was up about another foot and was 105.5 on the gauge where the water was coming in. The water temperature was 45 degrees. We started out with deep crank baits, me with a DT-16 and Jackson with an assortment, one of which was a large fat free shad.  We continued with the deep diving cranks but in one spot that has been particularly good, I put on a Carolina rig with a small Balsa B “fatboy” tied on the end of the 18 inch leader. My intention was to be able to fish right on the bottom but slow. In 5 tries I came up with 5 bunches of junk from the bottom. Good idea but did not work. I even tried another higher floating Rapala type bait with the same results. We did not have much cooperation from the fish but after a while a 2 1/2 volunteered and shortly thereafter we had another bite but nothing to show for it. Then after a long dry spell through what I thought was the best spot, we moved. When moving we turned on the side scan and were seeing shad everywhere and in one place we saw some fish that might have been bass. We circled back and started casting. After we got through the spot we had looked at the FOD hit hard and was a fat 4 – 1. We tried and tried but could convince nothing else to bite so we left.
