What I like to hear, Thank you

Saddle up you and everyone else will be there. I'd fish wherever you can find an open patch of water without a boat on it. Worst time to fish Fayette is Jan-March because it just gets pounded with tournaments.

I agree, but name a lake that isn't!


Just one more cast!

Sounds like I'll just get in line and fish. We all don't use the same baits.

Im just grateful that so many of the fish are in the slot at Fayette. Minimizing the handling of the fish because they cant be hauled around in a live well is the only thing that has saved that lake.

Went on the 23rd. Caught a dozen all on sub points. Biggest about 5. I used to think the white pelicans were cool but I am now thinking they are having an effect on fishing. They are all over the lake.

Thanks, is there any grass left or did the freeze kill it all?

I picked off grass on my lure only once. Also the lake is the lowest I have ever seen it. Front of boat almost grounded on Oak Thicket courtesy docks and sides of boat could go under the bumper boards. Came across rocks and stumps that were never visible before. Anchored in a cove and the mud left on the anchor was very rancid.

We have picked up a few bass this winter that were pretty scared up...I am thinking it is Pelican aftermath. As far as the low water, they started raising the water level throughout the month of March last year...hoping for the same this year...

I was at Fayette this last Sunday I mistakenly went to Oak Thicket.
I was worried when I tied my boat up at the courtesy dock. The water was so low that the side rails of my bay boat were able to float under the dock. I had bumpers in the boat that I hung from the dock cleats. This kept the boat out from under the dock.

This was only my second trip to Fayette and meant to use Prairie launch I found out later.
I fished for just a few hours with Carolinarig brush hog with no bites swapped to cotton candy lizard and started catching in 8~10 ft of water off the riprap near the plant.
The lake was rough quick and I promised not to be gone all day so I went home.

I can bet that FCL was tough with the wind today. It was blowing out of the north at Lake Bastrop. Rough going.
