FIRST TIME LAKE ENID

Thanks Feelay, Downsouth and Kenja for helping send this Georgia Boy in the right direction. This was my first trip to Mississippi and my first time pulling crankbaits. We fished about an hour Thursday afternoon and caught a dozen with three keepers. We fished four hours Friday morning and caught around forty with nine keepers. We fished four hours this morning and caught around fifty with fourteen keepers. Here are a couple of pictures. WHY ISN'T THERE A BOAT DOCK?

Be very careful walking on the ramps when the water is low a lot of broken beer bottles are deposited there. Will send you to Batesville E.R. to get sewn up .:dono nice catch also .Congrats .

Glad you had a good time and found some fish. Seems like you were progressively getting the hang of cranking. Have a safe trip back and thanks for visiting our state.

Awesome photos. Congrats. Good advice on broken bottles. It applies here on ky lake. Had a dog cut bad one time and I would have if not for a good pair of dock shoes. Very nice fish. Congrats again.

Ya'll done good, and in MS the boat docks are anywhere you want it to be.. Lol.. we call it dry land round here :-)

Good report and pics

Nice report.

Looks like you made a worthy trip. Those are nice fish. Glad you enjoyed our dockless COE lake. I wish they would put atleast one good dock at each lake.

What's a boat dock? Is there something we should know?

Main reason because it is a flood control corp lake, and while they do a great job with flood control, they really don't care much if it gets fished or not....at least that's been my experience. Glad you had a good trip.

Wappapello is a COE flood control lake. There is a courtesy dock at almost every boat ramp. The Corps moves the docks up and down the ramps according to the water level

Okatibbee is a COE lake in MS and they have floating docks at their ramps.

If I read a previous thread right they have the docks for sardis,Enid, and maybe butla (can't remember) ready to put in just waiting on the right conditions.

I read that to.....but was only at one landing on each lake.....but that will be better than what we have.

Earlier this spring they had all the materials for the docks In the parking lot at engineers point. Then we started getting a bunch of rain and they moved all the materials. From looking at all the materials looked like it's going to be a pretty big dock. Probably will be this winter when they put it in. Btw great catch an great report.

All that is great news.......
