4 Febuary 06 - Fayette County Reservoir

betursweetbass · 02-06-06, 06:51 PM

My partner and I went to Fayette Saturday, got a late start, launched at 9am. We fished some trees and shorelines in about 5 - 7 feet of water along the west bank with no luck. Conditions where cold and fairly windy. (approx. 15 mph winds) Water temp averaged 63. We switched to the east shore and caught two nice bass in about 3 feet of water with a baby minus one.(Ok, my partner, caught the two nice bass). It was a slow day for myself actually not catching a thing until close to sunset. My partner hooked up two other nice bass about 4pm near the power plant's warm water return channel. I was thinking how nice it would be to be somewhere else by this time....smiles. Close to sunset we motored over to the boat ramp closest to the west shore ( I forget the exact name of the entrance...something like Jurassic Park) anywho...i did finally catch five nice bass on soft plastics over there, and my partner one more nice bass. We ended our trip around 8pm with 5 a piece. Her big bass weighed maybe 4-10, mine about 4 even. Her five fish total was about 11lbs, my total was less than that..

I got beat by my partner again, and she's learning from me ?

oh sensay, your young grasshopper here is not without praise to your fine teachings, for without those i would still be one dimensional....you forgot to mention that sunday we both redeemed ourselves by catching an additional 5 1/2 fish to add to a very nice weekend for certain.....

hey wait, what do you mean by 5 1/2 fish?

bassintxlady · 02-06-06, 07:36 PM

well, i got a new high speed curado reel on sunday and my partner wanted to see how sweet it really was...so i said here cast it out there and catch me a fish....and just that he did...but he left hand retrieve's and i the right..so he handed the rig back to me and i landed the fish....hence the 1/2 a fish credit for us both....hehehe.....

lovinfishin9 · 02-06-06, 07:45 PM

bassintxlady · 02-06-06, 07:52 PM

well i won't hold it against you for being backwards..hehehe....(i am left handed but i retreive with my right hand)....but the fact remains...it just shows that my sensay can catch a fish under any condition.....i guess that's why i am the grasshopper.....hehehehe...

I've got a buddy that wants to fish Fayette-may have to take a trip over there.

bassintxlady · 02-06-06, 08:14 PM

bassintom · 02-06-06, 08:24 PM

at least you're catching bass...it's tough when the water is 38-40 degrees.

Nitro911 · 02-07-06, 03:03 AM

Have you been Reb? I have been wanting to go. If you go let me know and maybe we can drag a couple of boats over there.

bassintxlady · 02-07-06, 11:33 AM

oh let me say this about fayetteville.....the water is always warm there due to the fact that it's a power plant reservoir...the water was 64 degrees this past saturday....so no worries about cold water fishing there....ever.....

betursweetbass · 02-13-06, 03:51 PM

Well there is the mid summer blues, when the water temp can climb into the low 90's.

Time to go deep!
