Summer Methods Continue but the Weather is Changing
Spinners and crankbaits continue to be the go-to method but the cool mornings in the 50’s are definitely a sign that fall is around the corner.
Trolling or slow drifting in the deep mud 28’-34’ and around and on reefs with spinners tipped with a crawler or minnow or trolling with crankbaits is the suggested method for a few more weeks. As we move into mid to late September and the weather starts to cool, sharpen your jigs. Jigs tipped with chubs or shiners is the go-to method for the fall run. A variety of walleye and sauger sizes continue to nibble at the hook this week. Check out the pictures of the week.
