There was not enough light for me to see how to use the snap to connect the top water bait to my line when Jackson and I started fishing Saturday morning. We started in the same place where we have had luck starting off before but this morning with the cool North breeze the fish were not as active, receptive, or hungry, call it what you want , as the last time, when one bit on the first cast. We finally convinced one into half way biting by just sucking down the bait. No others could be enticed to bite so down the lake we went. We became nervous because of the inactivity but thank goodness the skunk had been scared off early by the first fish. The old standby DT-6 produced another fish out of a tightly packed line of trees and a couple of small schooling fish. Jackson was using a 1 ounce Rattletrap that was sliver with a blue back that caught a small bass maybe only twice its size. Shows you how large a fish a small bass will eat. He has had great luck on Lake Enterprise with that bait, especially by throwing it close to the flooded cypress limbs and ripping it loose. Last week he had a 5-11 take it off of the limb it was hung on when he was shaking the bait. This morning the fish were not that hungry as we went to some known hangouts of the small schooling fish and could not get any participation. The lake is absolutely full of bass of the last years spawn. The future for Lake Enterprise really looks good with all the young fish which were due to the high water and good spawning conditions. The water is still high so maybe there was a good spawn this year too. As we continued down the lake, we picked up one here and there on a variety of baits but mostly small. In desperation we trolled down the lake dragging a Yozuri just to see if we could find a school of small ones with hopes the big ones might be nearby. That has worked in the past but not today. It was 10:30 and we determined to make last ditch effort at a spot where there has been some luck in the past. I put on a DT-10 because in watching the depth finder I had noticed the fish of all stripes were showing up a couple of feet deeper than earlier, 8 feet instead of 6. Right off the bat in the new place, Jackson hung one that he declared was a big fish, and after fighting it for a few seconds, the fish came unglued, causing much consternation. Shortly there after the DT-10 connected on a 4-7 that did make it to the boat. After that, in pretty rapid succession, a 3-12, 4-14 and other smaller fish bit and were caught. Now we were having fun. But then consternation struck again. I had a bite on the DT-10 and couldn’t make much progress getting the fish in. I think that in its fight, the fish had the line around an underwater stump. I felt the fish come unpinned and then I was hung and had to go get it. Luckily it pulled loose from the other side and I got the bait back. I was nervous because I had just lost a DT-10 on another one of the snags that I could not get loose, even with the drop down lure retriever on a rope. When we could get no more bites we left to let the place rest but not being able to wait too long we soon came back. The place had rejuvenated somewhat and there were some bites but they did not hook up very well and almost all came loose before they were landed. It was obvious that the bite was almost over and when there were no more we headed to the ramp. We ended up with 25 bass and a FOD of 4-14. A fun fishing day that ended at about 1:15.
