I have not fished in a few weeks until today.  We have been have air temps in the 80's.  Today I went out and the air temp was around 78 but the water temp was 68.  The water levels appeared to be almost 5' lower than 3 weeks ago.  I have really never fished this time of year and I am lost.  I am going to go next Saturday.  This coming week the air temps will be 80 until Friday.  Friday and Saturday the highs will be in the 60's. 

Can someone give me some advice?

Thanks

Start on points with spinner baits or traps 

Main lake points

Secondary points

Mouths of creeks and pockets

Flats off the creeks

Grass, grass, and grass(If there is any)

Thanks for the replies. I plan on fishing all day saturday so hopefully I can catch a few.

If you are fishing a deep structured reservoir used for power generation, common in your area, the primary forage fish should be threadfin shad or crayfish (crawdads). Use lures that mimic shad and crawdads.

Air temperature doesn't affect bass quickly, water temperature changes will. Fall affects the bass due in part to lowering water temperature and shorter day light time. Cooling water temperatures signal all the aquatic life in the reservoir winter is coming. It's time to relocate to deeper water due to vegetation dieing off. Bass follow their food source; find the shad schools or fish clay banks with rocks where the crawdads locate.

Points are good places to bass fish because the shad will pass by and usually have soil with rocks that crawdads prefer.

Fall draw downs are common and the bass prey simply move with the water column.

Good luck.
