Sudden drop in air temperature and relatively warm water temperature puts a fog on the surface of the water, indicating that a topwater bite is potentially on. Fish flat, shallow areas ideally with sand and reeds present. Fishing a steady retrieve prop bait at a relatively slow rate can move fish and yield bites, particularly early in the morning and late into the evening/night. Water temps tend to be around 60 degrees - with dropping air temperature - when this topwater window is open.

We tried for muskies, but none followed our lures in. The pike cooperated, though. Paddle tails worked great. The fish didn't get active until the solunar major started at 4:30 pm.
