Thanks so much. Been fishing Enid the last couple of weeks with my brother. Looks like most of the fish are 17'-20', but very scattered. Sonar not showing a lot of bait balls like we're used to seeing this time of the year. Thinking with the water still high, the forage fish may still be back up in the cover of the creeks/headwaters. Action has been VERY slow. Only a couple of keepers for 4 hrs of trolling. Thx for the reply. It's helpful.
