: Enid Lake: Bass - Bass should be migrating via ditches and creeks to main lake points. Fish search baits (ex. crankbaits, spinnerbaits, vibrating jigs), but keep another rod rigged with a soft plastic (swimbait or drop shot) to follow up a missed strike. Crappie - Fish are post-spawn and scattered and are still not schooling on little shad. Fish jigs and/or minnows 7 - 12 ft deep near any cover or for suspended fish (halfway down in 12 -20 FOW) in open water in the mouths of major creek coves and the main lake. There are a lot of "short fish"; use bigger baits and/or fish deeper to target larger crappie. Replace treble hooks with single hooks and/or pinch down the barbs to make releasing short fish faster and less damaging; it does no good to release dead fish. Bream - Fish crickets or other baits near any cover (timber, brush tops, stake beds, riprap, etc.) or in spawning areas (hard sand, gravel, or other firm bottom in creek coves). The catfish bite may drop off as fish are spawning. Fish worms or stinkbaits in the river and creeks as long as there is rainfall runoff. Otherwise, fish various natural baits over main lake flats. Grabbling season is open May 1 to July 15. Expect some fish in boxes this week. Fish jigs or small crankbaits over hard-bottomed, sandy main lake points. There are no size or number limits on white bass. Reported by: MDWFP |

| About: -
MDWFP electrofishing last fall found good spawns of crappie, bass, and white bass this past spring. There were good white crappie spawns in 2009, 2010, and 2011. The big 2009 year class averaged just under 12 inches in November and is growing normally. The abundance of smaller fish bodes well for crappie fishing through 2015. Bass from 2007 and 2008 were abundant from 14 to 17 inches (1.5 to 2.5 lb), but there were also good numbers of bass to over 7 lbs. Bream were not extremely abundant, but many were one-third to one-half pound. Contact the COE office (662)563-4571 for accessible ramps at current water levels. Crappie spawning in Enid is normally from the end of March through the end of April, but it may vary a week or more depending on weather, moon phase, etc. Crappie spawned nearly a month later than normal the last couple of springs because a cold winter made main lake temperatures where crappie overwinter very cold. Main lake temperatures are warmer this winter and a more normal spawning time is expected unless we get an unusually cool spring. Not all crappie spawn at the same time; larger females usually spawn first and get the best spots. Black Crappie usually spawn earlier than White Crappie (males of both species get dark during the spawn; do not use color to tell the species apart). |

| Misc Info: -
(2015) Starting July 22, 2015, the daily creel limit for crappie is 15 per person. Crappie must be over 12 inches. Anglers may use no more than 4 poles per person and no more than 2 hooks or lures per pole. There is a 40 crappie per boat limit for boats with 3 or more anglers. The 12 inch length limit does not apply to the reservoir spillway, but the spillway has a 15 crappie creel limit. Starting July 22, 2015, limits on black bass (largemouth and spotted) go to statewide limits: no size limit, 10 fish per person daily. |
