Wife and I fished Triple J, Ferris on Saturday.  Beautiful day started dead calm and the breeze picked up to 10 mph by midday.  Water temps were from 62*  to 70* with 15'' to 18'' viz.  Action was steady and spread out.  The bass were not exactly on the hunt, but were more than willing to take white trash or bluegill flash Paddle Tail, white Fluke, green pumpkin Creature Bait, and occasionally a yellow or sexy shad Squarebill.  Vegetation was only around the perimeter and the bass were relating only to the vegetation and/or the timber in the upper end of the lake.  We landed 34 total with 16 harvested - of those returned 13 in the 2lb range, 4 in the 3lb range, and 1 in the 4lb range.  They were heavy for their length.  We fished most of the day but did take a couple of breaks just relaxin'.  Overall, an awesome PWF day.  Blessed!

P.S. Ranch road down the lake was a bit iffy because of Wednesday's rain - we used our 4WD and were just fine
