Late season stuff here, very cold water, have to do 5+ second pauses. Fish were located 7-10 feet down with access to deep water nearby. Also don’t worry about getting out early, fish 11am-3pm fish aren’t active or moving up to feed until later in the day as it warms up!

The hula grub on a football head is an amazing bait to throw when the bite gets tough or the water is very cold! Dragged it around some rock transition areas and managed to get some bites I couldn’t get on other baits!
