Arrived to Oak Thicket Campground on Friday evening. Since JJAM had never been to Fayette County before, I wanting to put him on the Bass on Steroids....Started at Hog Point on Saturday morning, fish on Yellow Magic to 4lbs. Fished shallow, grassy flats, points. Fished the back of Three Fingers and chased schooling bass on main lake near Intake. Must have been 20+ boats chasing them too....Fayette County Schoolies are between 3-5 lbs on the average, with bigger fish caught, too. Evening bite was on from 6pm to 8:30pm, in the back of Three Fingers. Also heard across from Park Prairie....
Sunday fished till wind got up at 11am...Same results, bass caught and missed on topwaters!
Funny thing, was that my old Houston Bass Club (Member 1981 to 1986) was fishing Fayette this weekend. Saw fishermen that I had fished with back in the early 80's.. Big fish for them, was 7-11 and about 28lbs of bass for five. Most caught on weightless Watermelon Flukes. Also, Senkos in Watermelon Pepper. Fish were tight to reeds and shallow.
Water temp ranged from 88 degrees, on opposite side of intake. To 99 degrees at discharge.
Thanks to Doug (FishyTX) for showing some new techniques and areas to catch bass....
WOW...What fun on topwater. These bass were pulling and fighting very hard. Caught over 50 bass between the two of us...Hope to be back later in month. Pics coming.
