Fayette 4/2/18

Hit Fayette today...Plan was to fish for Red Ear 8-10 am & bass thereafter. Got 11 killer Red Ear & 1 big bluegill in that time slot. Had 1 monster Red Ear break off...saw it and was better than 2 lbs. Kept 7 that had either swallowed the hook, or were not full of eggs. A couple were about ready to pop they were so fat with eggs. Wanted to try a new plastic swim bait (see pic) & it worked really well. Caught 18 bass all in the 2-2.5 lb range with 7 or 8 coming on the Culprit worm & the rest on the swim bait. Water temp was 74-78 and at full pool. All Red Ear caught in 1-2 foot of water on night crawlers. Had to leave the lake at 3:00 due to really bad winds.

Nice mess of fish.

WTG vogey! Beautiful fish

Nice Slabs!

GREAT report Vogey! I plan on fishing Fayette next week with a couple of friends of mine! Great seeing those nice Redear!

Really nice fish! Good report. Thanks.

WTG Vogey!

Woohoo hogs

Thanks guys...it seems like there are no small bluegill or red ear on Fayette. Once you find them...hold on ! The only problem is that I have only located these guys in 2 spots on the entire lake...so far...

Nice mess of fish. They say that there is no bluegill or crappie in that lake. BS. .... Thanks for the report.

As always great post and some solid fish! How was the water clarity? I know Fayette had gotten a lot of rain this past week! Again super post.

Water clarity was just a little off color as compared to normal...but not muddy or stained bad...hope this helps...

Outstanding!

Thank you Sir!
