After a fishing hiatus since May 27th  caused by flood damages, I finally made it back to Lake Ferguson this morning with son Harley.  The spot where I chose to start was one where last year I managed to do very well at this same water stage.  He had a bass on before I even had a bait on my line.  Here is a photo in the “I caught the first one pose”.

He was using an X-Rap 6 and after I got started, I used a DT-6.  Most readers had already guessed that however. The X-Rap came from Craig Tucker with the poem saying that after the flood you’d have to go deep.  He was right on target.  We were catching striped bass and largemouths in the same spot and almost every cast to start off.  The fish were a mixture of sizes up to 3 -6 which was the FOD.  We were going for 50 largemouths but the wind was howling and the waves were getting up so we stopped at 48. It was really nice to go after a long vacation from fishing and catch that many by 11:00.  There is no telling how many stripes we caught.

Besides the baits mentioned earlier, fish were also caught on DT-10s and worms.
