This report comes from my buddy Trey McMeen from his most recent trip out to the lake a few days ago. I have not been able to get out on the water yet this month as I have been really busy with school. Luckily, Trey has been on some fish and was nice enough to give me the details on how he has been catching them so I could share it all with you. You can follow Trey on instagram @treym_16. He is a hammer and you should definitely check him out! This report and the next one I do will come from him, and then it will be back to my usual reports as I have two tournaments coming up on Lake O' the Pines and Lake Fork the next two weekends. Anyways, Trey spent the day on Fairfield targeting deeper bass in 20 - 25 feet of water with a small kietech swimbait on a megabass okashira swimhead. He would find the fish on his livescope unit down on the deeper weed edges and then cast to them and slowly reel the swimbait in front of them and watch as they ate the bait. Overall, he caught 20 bass on the day with his best 5 going for 29 pounds, including a 10.13 pound kicker which I have included a photo of on the report. He said the water temperature on the lake the day he went was 46 degrees, with the weather conditions being a cold start to the morning, but gradually warming up later on into the day. The skies were clear the day he went and there was a steady south wind. He credits the livescope unit he has on his boat for being the biggest tool he used to catch them that day, as the fish were suspending in deeper water near the edges of the submerged vegetation, and it would have been extremely difficult to catch them if he didn't have the forward facing sonar.

One of the best ways to catch giant pre-spawn bass on Fairfield is running a red or white chatter bait ticking along the tops of the grass mats on main lake points. I have always found that being a way to easily find fish during this time of year.

Bites were consistent all day skipping a Green Pumpkin Magic Senko against the reeds using PowerPro 20# braid with a Seaguar Red Label 12# leader. Don't let the size of the Gamakatsu Weedless Finesse hook fool you. It can be hookset like a 4\0 Texas rig and has the sticking power to land those Fairfield bigs! Get put and enjoy Fairfield while you still can. Fish well!
