    Got out Friday. Slow. 5 eyes. 1 massive 19” white bass and a good size pike.biggest eye was only 22”. Durning this time and later yet, do the eyes tend to be deeper? All summer i was fairly dialed. Averaging 40-60 eyes in a solid day out 2-3 guys. Now I’m struggling to put a decent day together. Tried the usual community spots but mainly tried and caught fish durning the day in 7-14 foot. Didn’t try much deeper than 16-18 yet.

    Very simple rule for late fall…as the water temp falls and the water is clear, fish deeper during the daylight hours. As the sun sets and the bait fish move out of the backwaters, look for bait and fish shallower.

    Day bite this time of year can be tough. The walleye are mainly eating at night as that’s when the bait moves into the main channel.

    Really appreciate the info. Sounds like a simple program. May have to get out this Saturday night. See what’s happening. I did try some larger sucker minnows and that seemed to be no difference in preference durning the day between sucker minnows and fat heads. Was hoping it’d help get bigger bites but it was really split 50/50 between fat heads and suckers. The ones I did get at least…
