Fayette 4-7-2020 (slabfest) - 04/08/20 03:58 PM
It's the end of the world as I know it !...Fayette officially closed both ramps today. The good news is that I got to fish it one last time yesterday, and what an awesome day it was. Met up with Fred (Rionator) & Rhonda for a action packed day. Weather was perfect with light winds & overcast skies. The crowd was way less than expected after last week. Water temp was mid 70s and almost at full level. Ended the day with over 100 sunnies, 20-25 bass & 1 tilapia. The majority of the sunfish were BIG. All caught on Gulp Alive Minnows except for 5 that were caught on a Yazuri rattlin vibe I was experimenting around with. All fish released. Started out in my "super secret spot" , but invited Fred over when he got there. Have also fished there with Doc, so it's really a semi super secret spot. The other area we fished was the rip rap of the dam. Caught lots of fish in both areas.The sunfish are staging right now for the spawn which should start in the next 3 weeks. Right now, if you find one, you can probably find 100. Caught nothing in the reed beds, tank dams & creek areas that are indicative of summer patterns. Doc wanted to go yesterday, but had some home repairs to attend to. Bad decision ! What now ? ...I plan on getting a disguise & following Banker in the darkness to locate some of his super secret spots.
