Wow. Talk about flipping a switch ! Hopefully we can figure out where they go after leaving the shallows. It will be fun to try. With bass like that as a fall back strategy you can’t lose.
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free

WOW! That is hard to beleave. You would figure that those fish have to be somewhere. They would also need to feed especially with it still being on the warm side. So much for fall patterns on Fayette! There is always next year. Side Note: Nice Bass!

I thought this was an April Fools Joke! Can't beleave the sunfish bite completely shut down on Fayette. At least you caught some nice bass! Side Note: Any ideas where the sunfish went?

I think the problem is you've caught them all at least once so they're on to you! On the other hand, those two bass are a very nice consolation prize.

Hard to believe. After seeing 100's of SLABS all year on some OUTSTANDING POST and now a FLAT 0. Just goes to show you that at any given time a water body can turn completely off! You would figure that a power plant lake the fish would stay somewhat active all year around. Something happened to cause a complete shoot down. Got a feeling the fish had moved to deeper water and are now staying in the thick Hydrilly beds. You are spot on Vogey when you say after a certain time the Bluegill on Fayette go into complete hiding.

Maybe not Hydrilla but there are plenty of weed beds in that lake. Thick ones at that! Side Note: Great post as always Vogey. At least you caught some nice bass. As for the sunfish they may have moved into deeper water!

Thanks for the report. Saved me a trip. Maybe the fish went into hiding after the lake turnover and will return to normal locations after a few weeks; or they're all bunched into one tiny spot and you can catch them all for a 3rd time this year.

John...I am pretty sure that's not the issue...I would be willing to bet that I have not caught even 1 % of the bluegill on that lake. Laker...There isn't much if any Hydrilla left on Fayette...but there is plenty of naiad grass...it's similar, but more spiney and I believe it only grows in sallow water. Gitter & Jamie...I think they move way out to specific spots...In deep creek channels or deep water structures way off shore...I believe that if you can find these spots they will hold hundreds of big fat gils. Let the search begin...I jut got an updated topo map of Fayette lake in the mail...so the question becomes, do I search for these spots or go for bass which I know I can catch in pretty good numbers if I focus on them...hmmm...A delima

Search for the Gills and catch some bass!

It’s like that sometimes. Especially around seasonal changing time. Sometimes you get the bear; sometimes the bear gets you!
