Fished FCL solo today, but wasn't alone...the lake was packed with folks off thanksgiving week. Got to the lake late (8 am) because I hate cold weather, and fished until 3 pm. Heading back I-10 was bumper to bumper all the way, plus there was a pretty major accident involving a semi at the Schulenberg I-10 overpass. Water temp was 68 - 70 degrees in the areas I fished & the water level continues to drop. I ended up with 1 catfish, 2 small bluegill & 24 real nice bass. The bite was real good between 9:30 & 12 noon but after that it was pretty dead. I think the key is being at the right place when they turn on and start feeding on shad. For the 24 bass I never moved the boat once & could see the shad school swimming all around my boat. All fish caught on Tsunami 2" Holographic swimbaits & Culprit worms in 20-25 feet of water. Here is a photo of Seemore, my buzzard deterring guard owl & a few of the fish caught & released today...Happy Thanksgiving to all you TFF fish busters !

Congrats on some great fish once again. Thanks for the report. Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice post and fish. Good job Vogey.


Side Note: What is your outlook for the sunfish bite on Fayette next year?

Leo...I have been using the owl for about a year now, and so far no buzzards have attacked my truck.

Thanks Chuck & Alan

Tom...The outlook is good, but maybe I am the wrong person to ask, since I feel like I am going to catch a fish on every cast

Great post and as always some super fish. Good job Vogey.



Side Note: Might have a chance to hit Fayette during December. Will be targeting bass if I go. Depends on work!

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Will do! Work has been a hassle since covid. If not this year, next year for sure! Since my east end of the Guadalupe River has been washed out I plan on fishing Fayette more as well as the Austin area.


Side Note: Will also be fishing Mcqueeney a lot more !

When it comes to Fayette you would be the best to answer any questions about that lake! Thanks for the info.
