Enid’s Eagles

Tuesday morning I met Hal at Wallace Creek landing on Enid at 7:00. The lake was at 245 feet which was a little deeper than we wanted. We like it down at least 6 feet from there. The first spots we tried only yielded a few small ones , probably a little over a pound each. We knew it was a little too deep for those places but they were great last year, and who knows, we might get the early birds. Leaving there we crossed the lake to fish a shallow point but as we pulled up we saw a shallow top sticking up close by so we fished it. Hal threw a plastic and had a bite. The fish immediately dove down into the top which was thick and it became entangled. We went over and Hal stuck his arm down to get his hand in the fish’s mouth. His hand pushed the hook out and the four pounder got away. We fished a few more tops with spinnerbaits, shallow cranks and worms and caught a few more. Hal had a favorite snag that is underwater marked on his GPS that we tried to find with the side finder but had no luck seeing it. We casted around and finally caught a small one. I then put the sonar on down imaging and we floated right over it, and there it was. We then went to a point where we caught some good fish the first time I ever went there with Hal. We got out the DT-10’s and caught three, one being a 5. I also contributed a DT-10 to the underwater structure after trying for 10 minutes to free it with the lure retriever. Getting over in the afternoon, we went to a line of sunken tops where we caught some right off the bat on a DT-6. A couple of times when one of us would catch one the other would immediately catch one too. One time we did that and only one fish came up and we couldn’t figure out what happened but the fish had wrapped the lines. We had a good laugh when we figured it out. One of those tangled fish was a 4. When that spot ran out we headed closer to the ramp and caught a few more small ones in relatively shallow water. The eagles are really reproducing. Every where we went today they were flying everywhere, some mature adults, but mostly immatures. At every place there were two or three flying around. It is great to see that. We ended up with 23 bass and a 5 pound FOD.
