This lake can be really fickle at this time of the year. If you figure out the right presentations you can do decently. In the late Fall I will usually target the deepest reed patches that have some life still in them. Flip them and dissect them to the best of your ability. If that doesn't work, find some good offshore weedlines that are starting to die down and use a jerk bait to rip over the tops of the weeds that are left. Give yourself long pauses in-between your jerks and usually they will come out of the grass and smash on the pause. Ned rigs, can also prove to be good on the lake during a tough bite, but you need to really figure out where the fish are clumped up. Tight lines!
