Partly cloudless, a 10mph plus wind, in the back bay. Looking for largemouth, wound up with mostly pike. Fishing chatterbait like a grass jig yielded best results for bass. Pike obviously didnt care either way.

Lily Pads
Water temps were in the 58-60 but couldn't find a consistent bite. Best luck was had in the SW corner around the lily pads/submerged vegetation throwing the dark sleeper or swim jig.

Weird fall transition this year with much warmer temps. Junk fishing, covering water, only nabbed a few pike.

Fish were pushed up on shallow mud flats and future lillypad fields. Some working on bedding, many roaming in and around huge schools of mixed panfish. Wacky stick baits managed to entice a few, but a fluke style worked better to pull in active fish and draw interest from more passive ones. Also managed a few post spawners and bonus pike in nearby areas with fresh weed growth on shallow cranks and hard jerkbaits.

Found a good afternoon jig bite flipping green milfoil edges and clumps. Tried a handful of trailers and the size profile and action of the menace seemed to be the ticket. Find the good healthy weeds and you'll find fish.

Working submerged vegetation and lily pads. Chatterbaits + Fall bite. Calm night. Unsurprisingly the bite switched on in a big way just before dusk.

Neko Rigs
Structure
Submerged Vegetation
Flipping/casting a heavier Neko rig around the outside of dying pads produced good bites. Work the Neko rig slowly back to the bank hopping and dragging it. Let the fish eat, then just lean into them. If you set too quick you will miss a lot of fish. Good luck

Water temps fluctuated between 66-68, fish were few, far and in between with best fishing weighing just north of 3 lbs. all fish were caught on a swim jig fished around whatever structure I find.
