It was windy this morning right off the bat and that made the ride up to the bend in the lake rather rough. Only caught one at the first place where I thought there would be good fish but that’s what I get for thinking. Left there and went to the 70 bank where an out of town guy sort of pulled in on me . I asked if he was prepping for a tournament and if he was from out of town. Both answers were affirmative, upon which I told him that all the tournament pressure had adversely affected the fishing in Lake Ferguson. I also asked him why didn’t he tournament fish on his own lake. Oh I fish all over was the reply. I caught a few down that bank and then left for another spot. At that place, I began to catch a few scattered out fish. Eddie Gibson came by to talk and hung up on a net that has plagued that place for three years at least. He pulled the whole thing up and took it out to the middle of the lake. Give Eddie credit for making things better and a big thank you. While I was talking to him I caught the 6-0 FOD . He was prepping for a tournament too. Guess where he will be fishing Saturday. After he left I continued to fish in the spot and the fish started to bite. They were scattered but were decent fish. There was a 4-9, a 3-12, a 3-8 and a 3-1 for the 5 largest of 20 – 14. A total of 22 fish. Not a shoddy day. Caught them on a DT-6 and 10, a rattletrap and a Berkley chigger craw on a rugby head that Hal gave me. This is the third trip with it and I haven’t lost it yet. It’s beginning to grow on me a little. Probably just put the Hoo Doo on it with the “haven’t lost it yet” comment.
