Another great Fayette Post. Nice slabs and a super post. Good job Vogey.
Side Note: Did you see anymore dead fish? Looks like the kill is over and was a natural kill.

Nice fish Steve! I ended up staying local Sunday. Had a fun day at some local creeks but nothing beats Fayette fish

Thanks Tommar, Banker, & Doc...Since Dunlap is dead, I am attempting to "follow" the fish out (for the winter) by fishing there every week. We will see what happens as the water gets cooler.
Laker...from everything I have read, it was "lake turnover" with associated events, that caused the fish kill. It happens on a pretty regular basis on Fayette this time of year. While there were still dead fish washed up on the shore in places, the impression I had was that they were left overs from last week. The cove where we saw hundreds of fish at the surface gasping for air last week, was clean, and the fish in there were healthy & biting again.
side note: I expected the lake to be crowded with Columbus day, but there were very few boats on the water...maybe scared off by the fish kill...as Catyacker said....you won't know if you don't go...

Gitter…. If / when the gils stop biting, or I see bass busting shad I will be primarily fishing for bass.
Thanks Pot licker for the reply...
I have friends that have caught some mighty big bass on Fayette during the winter months!

Caught my PB bass off of Fayette during the winter a few years ago. 7.8 Lbs with a length of 23".

Laker...Did you take a pic if the 7.8 pounder ? Would love to see it. My pb bass also came from Fayette, but it was many years ago...9 lbs, no idea how long..
Nice fish Steve! Also love the hat!

Plus #1. Super Bass Vogey!
Side Note: I know the feeling very well about dropping a phone in a lake. Dropped mine a couple of years ago after taking a picture of a nice Red I had a caught on Calaveras.
