Tuesday morning I returned to the deep spot on Lake Ferguson. When I arrived nothing was going on deep but soon I saw a shad get blasted in the shallows. The worm was quickly laid aside and a 3XD was thrown into the spot. It was not long before a bass made it to the boat. It was not one every cast but more like one every now and then. They were shallow so I put on a DT-4. First time I have used one of those in a long time. It caught a couple but they moved out a little. I had on a 6XD because I was planning to fish deep. It got thrown into the mix and came out with one. I went back to the 3XD and just as the bait came up one hit it and when I set the hook the line snapped. Lazy me had not retied since last trip and about a two pounder made off with a brand new bait that had caught only one fish. To make matters worse the fish jumped trying to throw the hook a little later but still had the bait in its mouth. I could hear the rattle in the bait. The XD baits float rather high so I was looking for it to float up all morning but nothing showed. About that time, 9:20, things quieted down in the shallow water and the count was 10. The worm was called out into the 20 foot water and it was very slow from that point on. The fish would barely bite, very hard to detect a bite but they would bite. I caught 5 more between 9:30 and 11:30. It was so slow I left and tried some other similar places but no action. I tried the deep spot again when I came back by and had two bites but nothing got hooked. There were other places I wanted to try but I had to pass the ramp to get to them and by 12:30 the air conditioned truck was hard to pass by, so I quit. Caught 15 with 2 FOD’s at 3 1/4.
