Had planned on fishing Fayette with Doc today, but he wasn't feeling so hot...had to make the trip solo. Had a pretty good day considering the blue bird skies all day & near full moon. Water temp was 72-75 degrees & winds were light all day. Ended up with around 25 bass & 6 or 7 sunfish. Tried for Rios on the rocks, but they have totally disappeared. No red fish & no blue fish...only green fish !

Those are some really nice green fish!


Side note: I hope Doc is feeling better.

It just don't get any better! Looks like you are still catching some nice Bluegill! Solid post and fish. Good job Steve.



Side Note: How deep for the Bluegill?

Good sunnie day Steve and great bass day. Sure hope we have a great election night and promising future.

Those are some nice bass! I dont mind having an all bass day every once in awhile

Side note: Are you useing your bluegill rig to catch them?

Thanks all for the replies...

Chuck...The bluegill were in 8-10 feet of water...actually right where the Rios used to be.

gar...I caught around 3/4 of the bass on bass rig...med action rods & 10-15 lb test & 1/4 of the bass on ultra lite with 4 lb test...This time of year through March I primarily fish for bass just because I have not had any luck finding the sunfish in the winter months.

Yet another fine trip form the "Master of Fayette"! Good job Sir.

Thanks Steve. That is a nice depth for sunnies during the fall/winter, especially on a power plant lake.


Side Note: We were catching those Big Cally Slabs during the winter in about 20 feet of water.

Chuck...That looks like the "Rock Wall"...A place where legendary stories live...

Well i went today to Fayette with the intention of trying to hunt down some bigger bluegill. As usual i started off bass fishing. Thats when the bluegill fishing ended. Saw a bunch of fish using the LiveScope. Turned out they were bass on a small hump. Biggest was in the 3 lb range but most were in the 2+ lb range. Hump was 100 X 100 ft. Basically sat there with my spot lock there all day. Went through 3 packs of 20 each trick worms fished whacky style. Quit counting after 35. It was like I was fishing for bluegill and i found them stacked up and willing to jump on the bait as soon as I could get it back in the water. You got to just love it when those bass get so stupid.

That looks like another nice day on the water.

As always, great post and super fish. Still need to make it out there! Hopefully work will settle down so I can make some long road trips.




Side Note: Will be fishing Cally very soon!

We have caught many a big red off that wall

Starting to get the bass boat turned back into the wind. Glad to see my compadre gave those bass a sore lip Tuesday !!

I’ll be looking forward to getting in the fray this next week.

Glad you got into them too TomRom. I agree, perch is past tense for a while now.

Pot Licker — Thanks so much for the “Get well” !! It worked.

Caught around 20 today on Fayette (11/5/20) mostly small with a mess of keepers between 7 to 8 1/2 inches long. Got there around 10:30 and the bites started coming at 1:30 pm. Bites were coming often (not as good as summer fishing) but hooking them was difficult. Gulp crickets did much better than minnows.
If the weather holds may try again next week.
