Lake Ferguson was at 21.7 feet and falling today and the water temp was 47 degrees.  I had heard of good luck being had and I know a falling lake is good for the fishing, so I forewent an afternoon deer watch and hit the lake. When I arrived at the Mickey Maranto spot, the fish were hitting the DT-6 right off the bat. A lot of misses but I attributed that to the cold water. I caught 8 quickly and then the switch  got thrown.  Up and down that bank I went but nothing doing. The fish seemed to be in schools but they were not hitting on top, so searching was the only way. When you caught one, you usually caught more.  Two men were fishing nearby and coming down the bank toward me and were going to pass. As they passed my bait hit something under the water and I pulled it and made it rip through the water. When I picked up the slack there was a fish on. The idea came to me to reel, then to rip, and then to stop. When those guys were passing I caught 6 or more. I told them what bait I was using, but not how I was using it. Can’t tell everything. One man had a DT-6 but the other finally wanted to buy one from me.  Since I do not keep a whole box full of DT-6s and one’s lip broke off on the first fish today, I declined but gave him something similar that would catch a fish.  Those DT-6s get hard to find around here sometimes, especially when the fish are liking them. Had I known about the rip and stop at first I might have loaded the boat.  A 4 – 5 was the FOD with a 4 – 4 close behind and 4 more were over 3 from 3 -14 on down. The total was 19 for the day.  I liked it so much today, I might try it again tomorrow but earlier. There was also a beautiful sunset.
