I was blessed to share the day on Fayette County Reservoir with Dave and Ledger. The bite was slow but we still managed a few! Water temps were HOT, well over 100 in the plant discharge and high 80’s in the cooler parts. This lake is LOADED with shad! A shakey head worm did best.

Lake was rolling with mild sustained winds and cloud cover all morning, intermittent rain showers. Water ranging from 83 in the lake to 107 in the discharge canal. Fishing was not easy, but managed some big ones! Lipless and chatterbaits got it done.

Started this morning around 10 A.M. just graphing and mapping. I found a couple points mid depth and caught a couple. The wind picked up and I went to the wind blown reeds and caught the rest. Flipping, Chatterbait and a worm. Water temps were high 80’s to low 90’s. Wind about 15 mph. Partly cloudy skies. Stained water.

Went out on a morning trip today. Water temp is low to mid 80’s. Clear to slightly stained water color. Grass is thick right now making some places impossible to get to. Major players were crankbaits, rattle traps and a shakey head. Overall a great morning and got off the lake before it got too hot!
