Slow day at Fayette overall. Started off at 6:30 and caught a nice 2.5lber with a 6th Sense Flat Finesse F4 crankbait in Ghost Mudbug off some rocks close to the outlet. Thought we were on to something but never got another bite. Took most of the day to finally start catching a few in the afternoon throwing and oxblood drop shot in wind blown timber that was around 10-12’ deep.

Very cold day with it being 22 degrees at take off. We bounced around fishing structure to off shore, but didnt have success till we fished the rip-rap in the discharge. Working a zoom u tail worm slowly over the rocks brought us all 5 of our bites in about 45 mins. Once the sun came out and air temps go up to high 40s we culled twice fishing brush piles with the same technique.

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.
