I went Friday morning at daylight, really a little before, but someone had beat me to the lake and I was nervous they were headed to my spot. They were not however and the fish were not there either but I knew they were somewhere close.  Early you could tell it was just not going on. Slowly the bite started, little ones first and then the larger fish.  I found a spot, on the same bank that I’ve been fishing all along, that was full of fish but I could also see fish schooling chasing shad about 100 yards away. It was hard to stay put with the ones I had because they never came up. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.  I began to notice the schoolers were very small and was glad I stayed put. I caught fish on all these baits this morning.

From the top DT – 6, DT – 4, Rapala Thug, DT – 10.  The only other bait I caught some on today was a worm.  The DT – 6 and the DT – 10 caught most of the fish today, even this Goo which is the smaller of the two I caught.

The Goo was after catching around 20 bass and I hoped the bass bite was not over.  I don’t know how many times I have been in a spot catching bass and then catch a Goo and not another bass. Today the bite continued and 53 bass was the total for the day.  I quit at 11:30. The FOD was 4 – 13 with 4 others over 3. The largest 5 weighed 18 – 6.  A day like today makes up for all those days Lake Ferguson sent me home with my tail between my legs.
