Black bass were good until early August heat. Up until that time they were biting at the intake, discharge, dam, and select submerged pond dams on this power plant lake. Since then, the bass have moved deeper off main points and creek beds and the bite has slowed. Fishing has been best early morning. This 21.5" bass was caught late evening on a KVD Ocho at the Intake (water intake into coal fired steam turbine power plant).

Fishing rocks and the flats on the dam. Rigged drop shot with hook 3 inches above weight. saw fish on 2D sonar and dropped on them, the bite was definitely on. Could not catch them on a shakey head or wooble head, it took a drop shop for some reason.

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.
