May 20th. Overcast day with a decent SW wind and a front coming through later. Water temps were 63. Jerkbaits in natural/ghost colors were getting hit hard! Found quality bass on schools of baitfish... all offshore or on the deep side of drop offs. Saw no bass in the shallows (less than 3ft BUT lots of crappies were up there) so they either spawn deeper or aren't quite there yet. Other techniques used on the same spots that produced an occasional fish were crankbaits and spinnerbait (Colorado blade.) Swimbaits didn't get bit (dark sleeper, mag draft.) If you mark a pile of baitfish, spend 10 minutes on them. It was rare to mark the bass under/near them but you could definitely see fish follow the jerkbait to the boat on your side imaging.

Got out on Birch on Oct. 29th. Sunny day, light breeze. Water temps were 48-50. Water clarity was less than normal with all the vegetation that has died off. Pleasantly surprised that the chatterbait was the hot bait. Letting it fall to bottom and then real subtle hops was the trick. Like rod tip from 9 to 10 o'clock. Very quiet in shallow water (10ft > ) as I was expecting, just a couple smaller bass on swim baits. Side imaging was helpful in finding fish today in deeper water.
