I fished at Ferris - Triple J, Friday 4/23 for half a day in the AM.  I did not catch any big ones, but I had a good day. 
It was overcast with a slight breeze, about 10 MPH.  Great fishing weather, in my opinion.  It sprinkled a few times but not enough for me to have to put on rain gear. 

I caught about 12 bass by 9 AM, from 1 to 2.5 pounds.  I caught a few of them on a buzz bait, cast around the
grass/algae along the East bank.  I caught most of them on green pumpkin Brush Hogs, along the dam. 

It started raining pretty good about 10.  I put on my rain gear and fished for a while, then headed back to the truck to wait
it out and have an early lunch.  I got back on the water about 10:45 and headed to the South end, it was still sprinkling a bit. 

I caught 2 or 3 more on a buzz bait, close to the bank and around scattered grass.  The sun started peaking out a bit here and there between the clouds.  Go away sun!  Then I caught 2 or 3 more at the back of the NW cove, on a hollow bodied plastic frog fished on top of the thick slop.  THAT is fun!  Caught a few on the brush hog around the timber.  Then fished the West bank and caught several more on a buzz bait.  Ended up with an even 20 bass.  Most were about 2 pounds.
