Went to Lake Ferguson early Thursday morning and went straight to the shallow bank in the upper lake.  I had a plan. With the water falling, the fish would be in the shallows feeding before it got too hot and they would be susceptible to hitting a Whopper Plopper.  I should change the previous sentence to “hitting at” a WP. They would hit at the bait but were a few inches short, not even touching it. The WP’s hooks are good so if they even touched it they would be in danger of getting caught. I have seen them miss a Ribbit but never a WP. The strikes were vicious too, not just a polite little nip. To make a long story short, I caught one on the WP and three on a worm and quit before it got too hot. Should have had 10.
