I fished Ferris Triple J on Monday June 28^th around 5 pm. Yes, right when the storms were rolling through the DFW area. Funny thing is, I wanted to go right before a summer storm rolled in to see if Roland Martin knew what he was talking about. I watched one of Roland Martin fishing shows on Saturday and this show was about fishing during the summer before and after a quick storm rolled through. Roland said to use Buzz baits and Frogs, so I did.

First cast with a Black Buzz bait near the new cover that was placed in the lake close to the dam (Thanks Steve) a 5 lb healthy bass. Next cast a 4 lb fat bass. Oh yeah, I had to run to my truck for cover for about 10 min until the lighting passed over. To make a long story short, I caught about 20 bass with 6 over 4lb and missed one big bass that hit my frog 2 feet from the bank (I almost gave that fish my rod and reel because of his violent strike)

I fished from the bank from 5 pm until dark (saw one snake at dark) used only 3 lures Black Buzz Bait, Black Horny Toad Frog and Black 7 inch power worm (used when I missed a strike on top water) and no I didn’t throw the worm when I missed the fish that scared the hell out of me (I was to shaken up, had to regroup) My Black Buzz bait is no longer fishable. The blades were so bent from the fight; I felt if I tried to fix the blade one more time the blade would just break off.

                All the fish were healthy, like foot balls, and very hard fighters. Thanks Steve for the new brush piles and yes I guess Roland Martin does know what he was talking about and no I did not kiss any of the fish, nor did I say WHOA SON, not once (I promise) during a fight with a big Bass.  I harvested 6 fish that were about a pound each. The other 14 fish were too big or fat to keep.
