Cold front pushed into the area Friday evening and cooled the water slightly. With the cooler weather and cloudy skies, the bass really keyed in on moving baits. Bluegills are stacked on the weed edges and the bass are with them. Run a chatterbait/bladed jig over the top of the submerged vegetation to entice strikes.

Use your graph to find bluegills schooled up out on the weed edges. Back off the edge and toss a chatterbait, spinnerbait, crankbait, swimbait, anything that mimics a bluegill and retrieve it over the top of the weed edge. If the weed edge also has rock nearby, that is even better.

Water temps start around 76 in the early morning and creep up to the 80s by afternoon. Bass are biting on almost anything, jigs, poppers, buzzbaits, frogs, ned rigs, drop-shots, crankbaits, etc. However, the best technique was dragging a large texas-rigged worm on hard bottom areas.

My buddy and I fished South Lindstrom and Chisago today. He caught most of his bass on crankbaits. I used wacky rigged Senkos. We each caught 7 bass. The bass were hanging out in 10 feet of water. For some reason, 11 feet and 12 feet deep didn't work. We targeted isolated weed clumps off the bottom.

South Lindstrom and Chisago can be lights out in the fall, for numbers of fish and big fish. Throw chatterbaits and swim jigs along weed edges. Craw style trailers seem to work better in the fall for me, try dying the claws chartreuse with JJ's. The flipping bite can be good at times as well, flip your typical targets, green remaining weeds, docks and laydowns.

We had a good cold front move in and bring the water temps down. Bass were stacked up on offshore rocks and feeding heavily. Running a white/chartreuse spinnerbait over these rocks was key to getting bit.
