I took a vendor of mine fishing at Fayette yesturday 2/8 and had a fantastic day. I had hoped to get on a lipless crank bait bite and did catch a limit on it, however fishing for spawing fish was the ticket. Most of the fish came off of Senkos in 1-2 ft of water. Color didn't make much difference; watermellon anything. Backs of creeks and draws held most of he fish, but long stretches of reeds held nice fish as well with many of the little indentions predictably having a fish in them. We ended up with between 30 and 40 slot fish. Best 5 were around 24 pounds. Missed, lost, or broke off another 10-15 bites. I love Fayette.

Caught my first "over 10 pounds" LMB at Fayette......Love that lake!

how was the wind?

Were you at the opposite side of the dam? Most reports this time of year say to go to the dam discharge area.
I have to admit I love Fayette also.

I do not know what you guys are talking about. Fayette only has tilapia, gar, catfish and carp. I would not recommend making the long drive out there.

If you happen to see me "catfishing" in the backs of creeks or inside pockets on Saturday at Fayette, swing by and say Hi. I will be in a white w/sliver-blue stripe Nitro.
