This afternoon Mickey and I went to Ferguson. The water temperatures ranged from 61 to 66 degrees. The water was that beautiful color of green with at least a 4 foot visibility. The first spot we stopped was back in the willow trees where there are a lot of log drifts.  We caught one (3 – 5) there on a swimbait that was about a foot deep in 27 feet of water. We then tried to find the cow pen where back in the 70s we caught a lot of bass together. The trees in the upper lake have changed so much we could not find how to get there. We knew about where it was but the small bushes were so thick we couldn’t get the boat to the spot. We tried to fish back in the trees but quickly tired of that so we went to the meadow.  We caught 2 bass there, both on swimbaits.  Mickey missed one by a bush, and 20 minutes later when we came back by he hung it and it threw the hook on the jump. It would have been the FOD, probably around 4 pounds. He threw back in the same spot and caught one about a pound. The one I caught in the meadow had already spawned. It had a bloody tail and a sunken belly and weighed 3 – 9.  We had a lot of tap tap bites on the swimbaits from 6 to 8 inch bass that many times followed the bait to the boat. It’s shaping up for another good year on Lake Ferguson.
