When I crossed over the Levee on Thursday it was still dark and Lake Ferguson was falling at 21.4 FT. I had whopper plopping on my mind but the fish didn’t have it on their mind. As I went down the bank and had no bites another man behind me had a topwater on but it was one that he was twitching slowly and he actually caught a couple. The Whopper plopper was a little too fast for the fish. Since the Whopper plopper didn’t work I put on a DT6 and caught a few. About 11 while going down the bank by the 70s spot I caught a couple but nothing in one place because I had swapped to a DT 10. Then I saw a shad jump in the shallows and threw a DT 6 over and caught one. I caught one every cast for about 30 minutes including a 6 lb 11 oz FOD . Most of the fish that I caught there were from two and one quarter to three pounds. Most people know that I love a DT 6 but in the last few months I have lost hooks due to a stretched split ring. Thursday I lost a fish and did not pay that much attention but a couple of cast later I saw the front hook on my DT6 was gone due to a stretched split ring. So I quickly put on another bait and continued fishing. About 30 minutes later I caught a fish, looked down in his mouth and there was my hook from my DT6. You would have thought the fish had better sense than to bite again. I ended up with 26 fish with an f o d of 6 lb 11 oz. Also caught a 5-2 and a 3-2, throw in a couple at 3 and the best 5 weighed 21-5. The biting was over by 2.
