Evenings are starting to get cooler. On windy days, the fish move into the shallows and are pretty aggressive. Shallow to medium diving crankbaits have been effective when there is a clear mud line. Fish can be as shallow as a foot or two, but most are 5-15 feet. When the power fishing slows or isn't effective, drop shotting has been effective for smallmouth. There are some really nice Largemouth mixed in with the smallmouth. An occasional walleye or rainbow trout are also caught on bass techniques. There are a ton of small fish so if you aren't getting anything, switch up techniques often and let the fish tell you what they want.
