Went out late morning/early afternoon for about 5 hrs. Fished fast tapering point in water from 4 ft to 20 ft. Fish seemed to be in that range. Used finesse football jigs and small chunk. Dragging the jig from deeper to shallow produced the most fish. All in all a great day for late fall.

A buddy and I headed out in our kayaks to go after to lake trout using forward facing sonar (livescope). We found lake trout in 80-120 foot roaming 50-80 foot below the surface using rattletraps and blade baits they would come up and destroy the baits. We hooked up on around 5 each but some came off. Super fun day!
