The water temperature is at 60 degrees.
Mid to lower lake-I had a guide trip for walleye last week and we fished the Buck Creek area and found the fish in the 32 to 34 foot range. We fished on the gravel points with a night crawler rig drug slowly on bottom. A bonus to fishing this technique was all the bass we caught along with the walleye.
The smallmouth bass are hitting tubes(green pumpkin) on the gravel banks mixed with rock.Try fishing the 16 to 18′ range.
The Fall colors are exploding right now so get out and enjoy some of God’s Glory!
Until next time “Good luck and good fishin!”
