Discretion is the Better Part of Valor

I went to Lake Ferguson this morning knowing there was a 100% chance of rain but today was the only day because tomorrow is Saturday and that means tournaments. Ferguson has been hammered lately it seems. I started off with DT’s, both 6 and 10 and a worm but could get nothing going. There were some shad moving down a shallow bank that were being harassed from time to time so I tried a Whopper Plopper and finally caught one after some misses, really didn’t want it. Probably had caught so many shad they were full but were still feeling mean and harassing the shad. I tired of all the misses and put on a Crippled Killer but again nothing but misses and little ones at that. Headed again for the deep to a spot I marked that had a treetop under the water where Mickey and I wore the fish out a couple of times. Hard to tell sometimes exactly where it is so I had it marked on the depth finder. Found it exactly but no bass there. Lots of other fish however. I then went to the 70 bank, a favorite place of mine to fish but I saw a couple of fish hit on top in the trees and was going to try to do some good there but then I heard the first lick of thunder. I did not hesitate even though it was relatively far off. Headed lickety split for the waterfront. Everyone else had heard it too and I was afraid there would be a traffic jam but the waterfront is wide with plenty of space for a lot of people to load at the same time. I was home in the garage before the boat got wet. Caught 2 small bass.
