Lake Ferguson 19.0

I left the ramp this afternoon about 3:00 and saw some schooling activity before I got the boat planed off good.  The activity looked like stripes but had to be checked out. Indeed, a stripe bit on the second cast which made up my mind to leave. While I was putting my gear away there was some more activity but of a different nature. When I made a cast into it, out of the water came a bass with my Yozuri in its mouth. The fish were on a slick, flat muddy bank and had some shad hemmed up and were having a late lunch.  I caught 5 in short order and then the school moved on, not to be located again.  Upon moving, I hit two places that were duds and then went to the Maranto 70 spot where there is always some action. This time there was not much.  Finally I got a fish or two to nibble on a shakey head with a finesse worm on it. So the game was a shakey head for an hour or two. Later in the afternoon there was enough activity to get me to break out my DT-6 and the Yozuri again. You could feel them hit at the DT-6 and miss so I put the old “pull and then pause” Indian trick on them. It worked like a charm with the DT-6 and the Yozuri. There was one spot where they were sort of stacked up and I was able to catch on every cast for a while. I don’t know what it is about a 2 – 13 but I fool myself every time and get the scales thinking the fish is over 3. Had to laugh at myself today, did it twice in quick succession.  Ended up with a smooth 30 and a FOD of 3 -0.
