September is typically a tough month on potholes...you fishing deep?

Water level is down 20 feet! I fished main lake humps and drops in 20 fow for the most part. I caught 3 shallower, including the biggest largie of the day and a wayward walleye.

Fished the bases of the humps first, then worked to tops. Bites were soft for the most part. If it weren't for the smoke I would go back after my boat service, but I'll wait til October and come back.

Nice...I want to get back over there this year, but not sure I will with all of the smoke. Last time I went in late September, it was TOUGH! Small largemouth and a few decent smallies, with no access to the dunes with the water so low.

Sometimes you make up for lack of size with numbers. My biggest just missed 5 and the average was about 2. The walleye was small, the one smallmouth was about 1.5 and the bluegill was a MOOSE!  :tup:
