Oh man, that is pressure..... May not want to take that invite for fear of disappointment. Did not know I actually had status on that lake. I can do this Sunday or the following weekend most likely.

I saw what appears to me to be an algae bloom trying to develop on my last trip. I switched charts on my sonar to down scan and those huge blobs were not bait fish balls at all. I also saw a straight line at the bottom of a lot of this chatter on the sonar that ran from surface to ten feet down. Even the water color was off. It wasn't solid like this everywhere I went, but the other areas were pretty close to being solid, or there were long lines of it floating around and even under the surface. This same thing happened last year after we received some rain and the run off went into the hot lake. Fayette is a forever changing lake. The things I have seen in the past fifteen years is crazy. But I still think it is a great fishery. Those guys throwing their cast nets all around the shoreline are messing up the vegetation in this lake, they pull it out of the ground by the roots. Now the bigger bass can not hide in cover and ambush pray like most big bass do. Oh well, nothing we can do about it, myself and several others have spoken to everyone we thought could do something about it and so far not much has changed. Sounds like the thermocline is setting in finally.
I can backlash toilet paper.

It could have been thermocline pockets. Last year there was an algae bloom and the water had a foul smell. But I know a guide who lives one mile from the boat ramp, fishes the lake all the time and he doesn't think it's algae, so it probably is not. In fact, he has been on some decent fish out in deeper water. He hasn't been on good numbers, but he is catching some good quality fish. Like five to eight pound fish... The jig has been his go to bait. Pete Dodge guide service. He also has a shop where he sales tackle and he makes custom rods, cleans reels and so forth. Good guy, I highly recommend him.... I have his number but to lazy to get it so I can post on here. But he has a face book page, just type in his name and it will pop up.
