Rufus and I went to Lake Ferguson this afternoon once again under beautiful weather conditions.

The fish were not as cooperative today as yesterday. They were there and chasing shad but it was hard to get them to hit a spinnerbait. With as many shad as are in the lake now I don’t see why a fish would ever hit an artificial lure. We caught 9 bass and a couple of stripes using a 1/4 ounce Booyah spinnerbait.  Mickey was there too with Ed as his fishing partner. They caught 15 or so but it was obvious that it was not the same as yesterday.  The word must be out because there was a good crowd of fishermen.The good part is the ones we did catch were the small good eating size fish. We kept all but one we caught and a couple of  stripes.

That is what the ice chest looked like just before we left.
