Tuesday on Enid Lake

[MikeA57]

Took yesterday off to go fishing with my good buddy Lynn. The kids were out of school for fall break so I was going to take them too. They were all gung-ho until 4:00 AM when I tried to wake them up to go. (One's 13 and one is 7) I couldn't get either one of them up so after about 30 minutes of trying I left em.

We got out on the lake and it it started out clear. Caught about a dozen bass in the 1 1/2 to 2 lb range on the main lake points in about 8' of water. Then a front moved in, the wind started blowing from the East and the fish basically shut down. We went in search of them and caught a few here and there but nothing spectacular. After a misting rain moved through just after noon, the skies cleared and the wind died somewhat. The fish picked back up but they were much deeper having moved to about 18' of water. By the end of the day we'd caught between 60 and 70 in the 1 1/2 to 2 lb range. The largest one caught was about 2 1/2 lbs. Perfect eating size. The surprising thing was how fat all the fish we caught were. They all had large bellies and fought like 3+ lb fish. It was a whole lot of fun. Here's a couple of pix of what we caught.
