this weather is making fishing tough in alot of bodies of water, its supposed to be in the 50s with water temps, not low 60s this time of year. some fish are on fall patterns and some are still shallow, scattered fish w no thermocline makes it tough. I hit swartswood on sunday and was slow til late morning, then the smallies turned on for a while. honking wind too didnt help, all the bait was in 30fow give or take but all fish caught were in 20something, go figure. LH is not launchable and the rest of the good waters are either closed or the fishing sucks. the fall fishing has to start soon and I bet this weekend is the turning point, we are not getting out of the 50s for a while and that will cool water temps and trigger fish to head to deeper winter hangouts, the bait is already there in most bodies of water
