I pulled out of the drive this afternoon at 4:45 to go for a quick trip to Ferguson. The 70 bank was the first stop. the water is about 5 to 6 feet deep in the trees. I caught two small ones there on a DT-6 and left to go to the Watzek bank where I caught one on a DT-16. There were some fish on the depth finder at 18 feet that I believe were bass as I floated over a point but time was limited so I kept on throwing the 16. Soon I left for another spot where I hung one on the second cast but it came unpinned. Same thing on the next cast and I discovered the drag needed tightening. That done the next one came to the boat about, 1 1/2 pounds. There was one place where the little ones were but move over a few yards and the fish increased in size markedly. In that small spot, one about 3 1/2 made a spectacular jump and sent the bait back to me. That happened again later and I made a note to do some hook work before I go again. I’m going to put some of those turned in #2 hooks in the place of the #4’s that are on there now. By now I was using an XD5 and as I brought it up it hooked a silver carp that ran off with my bait. That spot yielded 10 fish, including 3 about 4 pounds. The action was too fast so I skipped the scales. Another place nearby had a few fish in it but the bite seemed to be tapering off and the sun was going down. I stopped back by the other place on the way back to the waterfront by but nothing was doing. Ended with 15 bass and the FOD was an eyeballed 4 pounds.
