Fished from daybreak til noon. Water temp 89-92 degrees & very calm day. Met up with doctorxring & TJ on the water. Sunfish bite was exceptional. Caught around 50-60 & released all but 2 that swallowed the hook. The only place I didn't catch fish was the dam/rocks. They have either moved or been extracted. I have seen a lot of boats in that area the last few trips. All caught on drop shot & night crawlers. Thank you doc for the triplet advice. Here is a 17 minute video of the adventures. Had a lot of problems with Windows Moviemaker, but got about 90 percent of what I wanted. Will be leaving for Ohio for a week on Saturday, so no fishing for a while.Fayette 6-18-19

Wow...great report and outstanding video. Thanks Vogey.

Oh yeah, I know what your talkin� about ! That little lake outside La Grange....

Great video Steve. Those perch were on a rabid bite yesterday. Better than the
day before so your instincts were right. Have a great trip !

As I have said before." Every time I watch a Steve Video,I want to go fishing!" Love watching you catch those MONSTER SLABS! As always super video and thanks for sharing!



Side Note: Are the sunnies still spawning on Fayette?

Thanks Cat, Doc & Banker for replies...I believe from everything have read & seen that the sunfish spawn off & on all summer long on Fayette. Yes, they are definitely on beds right now, but I believe they hang out there through September/October before disappearing to who knows where. Doc can discuss this in more detail as he is a bed fishing expert.

Great post and video Vogey. You have got film making down to an art! I am still seeing sunnies on beds but not as many compared to a few weeks ago. I think the spawn on most parts is about over. I think we will see at least two more. Late July through early August and again in early September. Just my two cents.

Thanks Steve. I think you are right, the sunnies will be spawning throughout the summer!

Great post and video as always Vogey. Watched your video last night for the second time. Nicely done and thanks for sharing.

Thanks GD...if you have any advice for improving the videos, or have something you would like to see from a different perspective let me know...this is a learning process for me...

The way you have done your videos is TOTALLY FINE with me! Keep up the great fishing and videos.

You sure do know how to locate them. I don't ever feel like I can find beds like I used too. Wondering if the nets have caused them to move deeper over the years.

GD...Thanks for the input.

Perks...When I started fishing for these guys on Fayette I was skunked for the 1st 3 trips, but eliminated water each trip. Then found 1 good spot, but kept searching & found a few more. Then got some good tips & information from members of this forum that have the same passion & obsession. The two fishermen that have helped me the most are doctorxring & crickethook & I thank them for sharing their knowledge of fishing beds & patterns as pertains to this water body. Just my opinion, but I don't think the netters have much of an impact on the bluegill & red ear fishing here.

Great post and report as always. Keep them coming.
