Fayette 11/9/15 - 11/10/15 01:26 PM
Went to Fayette yesterday for one of my annual fall bass trips. Threw one ultra lite rod in the boat, and also had about a half box of nightcrawlers left from last Dunlap trip. Wanted to spend a little time hunting Red Ear, since my last trip was so unproductive. Water temp between 73 and 79 degrees depending on where u were on the lake. Wind non existent. Fished for bass from 8 til 11 am, then targeted a reed bed (for Red Ear) I did not fish last trip. Non stop action...caught 25-30 between 11 and 12 noon. Did not keep any, but 10 would have been my normal pan size. No real big ones like Banker and crew caught last month. One thing I learned is that not all reed beds are created equal. Have fished probably 15 reed beds and only 2 produced. Still have 15 to 20 to go to figure this thing out. Ended the day around 5 pm with 32 bass and the 25 Red Ear. The 5 best bass would have gone around 14 lbs all caught on Culprit 7.5 in Tequila shad color worms....
