This afternoon when the sun came out I made a quick break for Lake Ferguson which was 25.1 feet and falling.  The water temperature was a cold 41 to 43 degrees. Not only was the water cold, the sun only stayed out a short while.  I started fishing at 2:15 and quit at 4:15 and did not catch a fish. I fished with a jig mostly and a short while with a DT – 10, pulling it very slow.  I saw Taff when I was coming out of the lake and he had caught 3, one of which was 6 – 10. He said the fish were extremely deep and just were barely taking the bait. Looks like I need to wait for things to warm up or take a lesson from Taff on cold water fishing.
