Lake Ferguson 36.2 Feet

Went for a quickie this afternoon starting at 3:15 and ending at 6:15. Started at the number one spot where we had success Saturday but nothing doing today. Had something hit the DT-6 3 or 4 times but no hookups. When I left there I had plans to go to another spot where we caught some Saturday but as I cranked the motor another thought hit me of a place nearby. It was a good thought too because two came into the boat pretty quickly. After that I was trying to go to the Saturday spot again but got waylaid as I passed another good looking place where I pulled in. A couple cooperated there too. Another good idea. Finally I made it to the place I had been trying to get to but the wind was blowing so hard it was going to be hard to fish. I got out my Monticello anchor, which is a rope, and tied it to a tree which put me in just the right spot. We caught them deep there Saturday but there were no bites to be  had. The wind was blowing the waves around a point and I saw a fish hit in the shallow water. The anchor came off of one tree and went on another that allowed me to fish in the shallow water where I caught three more fish on a worm and a DT-6. I set the hook on what I thought was a fish but was a bass’s best friend, an ironwood bush in about 6 feet of water. Shallow hangup, no problem I thought. Neither my gitter pole or the weight on the rope could get it loose so I left it. When the lake goes down that 6 feet I’ll be back down there to get the DT-6 and I’ll take a pair of clippers with me to get even. Losing that one gets me down to the last one, a parrot colored beauty. Hal asked me what are my favorite colors in the Rapala  DT series baits and I told him the silver shad color and the parrot. Those are the ones I am preparing to order. Ended up with 7 and a FOD of two pounds.
