Fayette Does Not Dissapoint!
If the fish are not biting on your home lake there is only one thing to do – go somewhere else. Aaron is working in the area and we have been trying to get together for a Fayette morning and today we finally did. And as Fayette so often does, it spit out some nice fatties.
Fayette bass give a new meaning to the term stud.

(No weather or solunar times today, I just went fishing. I did not even look at the water temp when we were fishing.)
And they tug hard.
We were on the water at daylight and stuck to the plan. Fish deep rock and points and it turned out to be the perfect plan. Nice to pull up on them right off the bat. Aaron has been using the Strike King Jointed Structure Jig head with a Rage Tail Structure Bug lately, and they ate that thing up. I stayed with my old tried and true 5′ watermelon stick worm. I held my own but he definitely caught the most this morning.
A couple of nice ones. The one on the left was a good 7lbs.
One day I will learn how to take a picture of Aaron and fish. He is a big guy and they never look that big when he holds them. Suffice to say there was some serious weight on these 2.
Strike King Rage Tail Structure Bug – Moon Juice.
The fish were in that 12 – 20 foot plus range and we were just crawling it on the bottom. And they were forgiving, seemed like when they locked on they were there. Several just started swimming away before we even felt the bite. But once you set the hook it was the usual Fayette Fattie struggle. Those fish are mean in that warm water.
I did catch one on the Strike King 6XD but they were hitting the plastics to good to quit them!
Aaron had to make it an early morning but I went back out after dropping him off. I wanted to throw the pearl Controlled Descent Jerk Shad on the same fish. Right off the bat a couple jumped on, but they were definitely not as big as we were catching. So back to the stick worm and though I boated another 3 or 4, it was clear the big girls had all they wanted of us. Wish I had tried the Jerk Shad earlier. Oh well, good reason to go back. So with that I called it a successful morning.
It has been a while since I fished there, but it will not be the last as it is one of my favorite all time lakes. Of the many lakes I have fished it is one of the most consistent producer of good fish and when they are on the chew it can be awesome. The fish are solid, and rarely does the lake let you down. It happens of course, but it is usually a matter of finding what they want and then hold on. Nice to put some good bass in the boat after struggling some this summer. How many, not a clue but the pictures are just a few of the better ones we put in the boat this morning. And as usual fishing with Aaron teaches me something every time.

The Boss sent me this picture and it is a dandy. This is our friend Chago’s oldest with a real rooster. I believe they are in Mexico and from the looks of things fishing is ok.
Nice Rooster! Congrats!
A Rooster is on my bucket list. Unfortunately I did not catch one in Costa Rica, but there is always another trip and another chance. Good job.

I am not all that big of fan of getting up in the middle of the night, in other words, before daylight, but some fishing requires it, especially in the summer. So guess I need to quit whining get up and make a bay trip. Hopefully there is a cloudy day coming, makes a huge difference right now as the heat index creeps up above 105 degrees. It is not so much how hot it gets, but it leads to shorter fishing time. But fall is right around the corner in the grand scheme of things and with it those longer fishing days. Not sure where next but it will be somewhere. So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
