The fall transition seems to have started and it was a tough go around adjusting to the cold nights. Got a few strikes on medium diving crankbaits, chatterbait, and weightless senkos but nothing good. I fished submerged weed edges, shallow and deep, and docks. The spotted lantern flies were all over the water, and small fish were coming up to eat them all day too.

Blueback Herring
The fish were showing up at 10' throughout the lake, I followed that contour line at ledges near grass lines and got down there with a chatterbait and DT 10. The chatterbait got some fish as usual, but the DT 10 was what they were really looking for this time. Stick to natural colors as they've been chasing bait fish all summer.
