Had a nice day with clouds and blue skies. South west winds up to 10 mph. Fished the dam with crank baits. We slowed down after covering a lot of water for 1 fish. Caught a couple smaller fish on the dam. Moved to the trees in about 10 feet of water. Fished a texas and wacky rigged senko. Green pumpkin and black with blue flake is what we got our bites on. Fished from 7am to 2pm. Good number of fish caught. Nothing big but a few nice 4 pounders. Irod fishing rods has every rod you will ever need. Abu Garcia revo reels with seaguar inviizX fluorocarbon and gamakatsu superline hooks.

  Points
Lake Fayette is in the transitional period between winter and spring. Bass are starting to migrate to the shallower spawning areas, secondary points, and flats. Plastic jerkbaits at medium to slow retrieves were the most effective throughout the day. During the warmer parts of the day lipless and flat-sided crankbaits were productive with a medium retrieve.

I had a small weather window to fish Fayette yesterday morning. I got to the ramp at 6:45 AM and made it out to the main lake point I like to fish this time of year with stumps and hard bottom. I drug a Carolina rig around from 6:55 until 8:00 AM using a 1/2 oz tungsten bullet with a 24” leader and a fluke I pour myself. The color is similar to tilapia magic. I caught 2 and broke one off in a tree that I couldn’t stop once I set the hook. I left that spot and went south because I knew the wind was forecast to get to 10-15 out of the SSE in Fayetteville. So it gets to blowing 15-20 on the lake. I fished the SE coves up shallow looking for spawners and did not see a single bass up shallow. I tried top water, swim jigs, and a wacky rig. The standing timber was covered up with boats, so I headed to the dam. I got up as close to the dam as I possibly could and paralleled the rip rap throwing a frittside 7 HD threadfin. I didn’t stop catching from 11:00 AM until I left at 5:45 PM. None of the fish were big but it was a consistent and fun bite.
