Mickey and I went to Ferguson this afternoon with the gauge at 7 feet.  We started along a good bank and caught a couple on a series 5 XD. It looked as if things were going to be pretty good. After a couple more on a shakey head we expected to wear them out but then the drought took hold. There was a long dry spell without a fish and none of the ones we caught were giants. Finally Mickey broke the spell and caught another one and had one to jump and throw the worm. That action was encouraging as we figured the bite was picking up. We were not prospecting. The places we went were ones we knew were good for a fish or so if not more. The bite was not picking up but we did catch a 5 pound FOD as the sun went down. We circled and circled that spot but only caught a couple  of gar for our troubles. So we just took our whipping and went home after catching only 6 for the afternoon.
