I have been in the woods seeing some deer but also thinking about fishing. I have not been able to do anything for the last few days but saw the opportunity to get to Lake Ferguson this afternoon. Started fishing a little after 2. The lake is about 6 feet lower than the last time I was on it. First I went to the extreme North end where the lake gets shallow. Sometimes at this time of year the shad congregate in the extreme end and the bass will be there too. No shad and no bass this time. Then I tried a 5XD on the steep bank in some known good spots with no results. Next I broke out a worm and started to catch some fish. The bite was very soft and it was deep. All of that made fishing slow and I did not have an excess of time. It’s funny that when I was hunting I was thinking about fishing but this afternoon I heard a squirrel barking and wished I was waiting on the deer that it was barking at. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I was still catching one every now and then but I had some other places to try so I left for once again greener pastures. Stopped at a couple of unproductive spots but finally came to the “number one bitin’ spot”where my daddy and I used to fish. It’s just a smooth sandy bank with a pretty good drop. There the 5XD came up with the 3 1/4 FOD and fish number 8. It’s still a good spot and it did me good to catch one there.It was kind of like catching that fish was in memory of my dear old daddy. It felt good.
