Setting up off the points was the best thing I found. I went out at 2 PM and was getting bit here and there. Right at 5 until dark they turned on and I ended up catching roughly 30 with 10 of them being real nice ones. Using the jig with a wax worm was key.

Dragging a jig on weed edges early fall, slow down when you get bit, they load up on specific stretches.

Located next to deeper water I was fishing small spoons tipped with maggots right off the bottom. The bite was subtle and they preferred a do nothing action. Nothing huge but the bite was steady from 3pm to dusk.

Mid 60 degree water temp with air temps in the high 40s. Absolute wack fest on lotus this morning. Caught a lot of quality largemouth on a mix between a jackhammer, swim jig and skipping jig. Over the emerging milfoil I fished a jackhammer or swim jig when the wind calmed down and skipped docks to pick up bites as well.
