[cool][#0000ff]Cheer up. The "close-in" catfish action is probably about done for the year, but the white bass and crappies will soon be coming into the harbors for the winter. Might be some walleyes too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Usually sometime after the first of November each year, when there is enough water in the harbors, the white bass school up in the protected spots. You can get them by fishing a piece of bait under a bobber or on the bottom. They will also hit jigs or small spoons dropped next to docks.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The catfish can be caught even through the winter, if you find them. They are slow and don't feed much, but they may be taken in the coldest water and through the ice too. However, from now until about April, don't look for many of them to show up within casting distance of shore around most of the lake.[/#0000ff]
