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.

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.

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.
