Picked up mickey at 3:00 and we went to the lake, which was at 30 feet even. We went to a deep spot and first tried a crankbait  but nothing was doing. There were puffy clouds but zero chance of rain according to the Weather Channel. Some of the clouds were black under the bottom and soon a sprinkle started. You hear about fake news today a lot and that weather report would qualify because we got soaked. We fished on. The worms came out and finally we caught a couple, one being the FOD at 4-2.

 Note the 1/2 oz Snitch shaky head by Black Angel baits hanging out its mouth. It has a stout 6/0 hook that I was barely able to get out of the fish’s mouth. The 1/2 oz is great for fishing deep. They are also pointed in the front with a vertical hook eye which makes them very weedless. I wanted them because they are 1/2 oz, good for fishing deep. Couldn’t get them around here, had to order them from the manufacturer, blackangellures@gmail.com . Two was the best we could do in that spot so we moved down the bank to try other spots, one of which was pretty good and gave up 4 or 5 more including another 4-0. One of those was on a Dredger 17.5 crankbait I think. In another spot on the steep bank the dredger caught one and a worm caught another. As it was getting a little late, we went toward the ramp and were fishing an old barge that had been cut up for scrap. They were shallow there and working a worm rapidly was the key to catching a few more that got Mickey and me up to our magic number on Lake Ferguson, 15.
