TURNOVER BEGINS: As all of you that fished Fayette between October the 11th and December the 15th know, fishing was horrible! This period marked the beginning and the end of an unusually long turnover! Fayette turnovers usually last two to three weeks not over two months! Catches ranged from 0 to maybe 10 fish on […]

OLD PARK LODGE! Old Park Lodge’s http://bit.ly/oldparklodge 27TH annual Perch Jerk was once again a great time for all!!  Anglers had been scouring the lake for the mother load of Red Ears for the past two weeks.  Red Ears, generally larger than the Bluegills are the most sought after fish in this rodeo! After the

October 3rd 2018: To start with let’s look back at October 3rd! A tropical depression made landfall east of Louisiana and brought the first blast of cold weather to the lake. The lake water was hot hot hot from the long summer of high pressure and 100 degree days prior to this first blast of cold

Lake Conditions: Post front, low winds and recent fish kill due to plankton die off and falling water.  Water temps low 90s. The Players: Marvelous Marv, the Comeback Kid & Eric top to bottom! Report: Thank goodness for the LFTC Dodge Rig, but more on that in a moment!! I had the pleasure of fishing
