11/08/2021. Mostly cloudy. Water temp 49 to 51 degrees. With my boat in about 10-12 ft of water on the north shore I found coon-tail that's still green. With blade baits I was able to catch bass with stop-and-go retrieve - cranking 4-5 seconds then dropping down to hit the weeds, and repeating.

Deepest good weeds you can still find and really slow working the bait just in the weeds and just on the edge.

17 ft of water, hordes of bluegills and crappies in the weeds. They were rising up 3-4 ft to hit my tungsten. I started with a Fiskas Wolfram tungsten jig with a eurolarvae, and then when I started to run out of bait I switched to a Clam Maki Polli plastic in the chartreuse color.

Open Water/Basin
The day started out slow and by the end it was very productive. Highs in the upper 20's and partly sunny. We set up on a basin for bluegills in about 20' of water. Using Kenders tungsten with clam soft plastics we found some decent gills. They seemed to get bored of the colors after a while so we would rotate colors and it seemed to produce quite well. We also had a couple northerns on tip ups throughout the day. Rotating the colors seemed to be the key though as the school moved in and out mid morning to mid afternoon.
