The shad spawn occurs on the first full moon in May. It creates a feeding frenzy for the bass and starts before daylight . The shad lay their eggs by “flicking” on anything floating and when that starts the bass sense an easy chance for a meal. The water temperature needs to be over 70 degrees. This morning Jackson and I were on Lake Enterprise in the dark well before daylight listening and trying to look for any sounds of activity. The water was 70 degrees but the air was 48 and the wind was out of the North, the last two were big negatives. We launched where there was a good bit of duckweed for the eggs to be laid on. Until daylight, not much was happening, but afterward a few shad appeared and some bass appeared under the duckweed. There were some hits and misses and two bass were caught on a frog but nothing like we were hoping for. The spot was small and when we fished through it a couple of times we set off to look for something else. The lake is high because of all the rain and is “no wake only”. The water has over a 2 foot visibility and really looks good. There were a couple of strikes on a topwater prop bait back in the trees but no solid hookups. We found some small schooling fish out in the middle and caught some more. We quit about noon with 9 fish. Believe it or not, I caught mine on a DT-6.
