Still a very sluggish bite. All strikes were on the pause of the jerkbait. Fish weren't at or under the docks, rather they were suspended out in front of the docks (sunning themselves?). Water is colder at this point in time than it has been for years.

Water temps continue to drop, fish were sluggish & deep in the main lake. Not relating to any obvious cover or bottom structure but were grouped up. One bite would lead to multiple bites, but it took time to get that first bite.

Recent rains raised lake level and washed worms & insects into the lake. All fish caught at greenbelt areas that had drainage into the lake. Fish were in 4 - 8 feet of water, not chasing, but eating what had washed in.

Slight water temp increase made fish a little more active. Nearly all fish came on points outside of coves & cuts in 5 - 8 feet of water. First few hours, there was no wind and most fish were caught on a Ned rig. Later the wind picked up (15 mph plus), with most of the catches coming on the swimbait.
