Water temps low 50s with air temps in the low 50s as well. Locked a swim jig in my hand and fished what ever I saw in front of me. Deeper docks and brush got plenty of 2-4lb bites. Best bait of the day was a 3/8 ounce queen tackle swim jig that I trimmed up the skirt on to make it a more compact profile. Even though it’s pretty old school a zoom fat Albert grub is easily my favorite swim jig trailer for this time of year, it doesn’t make the swim jig rise near as much as a craw style trailer and doesn’t get thrown near as much as it should.

High 40-low 50 degree water temps, air temp in mid 40s. Caught a ton of quality fish on main lake waupaca chain slow rolling a yum scottsboro swimbait along the deeper breaks adjacent to flats. Key depth was around 15-22ftow and I also picked up a few just pitching a 1/2 ounce queen jig with a chunk on the break line which got a couple of big bites.
