Congrats Alex on your PB. I was up last night also and saw more herring as it started to get dark than I've seen all season. A few surface explosions which gave me hope it was going to turn on and it got dark and everything died. Flat calm and no surface activity whatsoever. Interestingly over the last 2 weeks in the spot I'm fishing I've caught more good size crappy at night than I have all season which makes no sense while the walleye and hybrid fishing has been way off. Herring activity has been almost non-existent to date. Crazy over this past week on a lit bobber and jig at night I've caught five walleye and four hybrids which I've never caught one on before but shallow split raps and top water haven't got hit which would tell me the fish are not keyed in on herring so I hope there's not something significantly wrong with the herring population in the lake. I'm typically fishing until 2 am so maybe things are getting going after I leave. Don't know what's going on but at least in the area I'm fishing something has definitely changed. Water temps finally seem to be normalizing but to date have seen relatively cold for this time of year and the winds on certain nights have been brutal so I'm sure all that's factoring into results.
