[#0000FF]They were out a long ways and I didn't have my binos with me. However, I did see one of the waders at the Knolls hand a fish to another guy. Looked like it might have been a white bass.
Just a bit early for the real good fall action along the edges of the rock shelves. Water temp right now is still well over 60 degrees, but it will drop fast when nighttime temps get below 50. Once the water gets between 55 to 60 there will be good action on white bass and walleyes. Although the white bass population is still down and there are a lot of small ones. Haven't seen one over 12 inches for over a year. But lots of the young ones from this year's spawn to bring in the hungry walleyes.
I fished the deeper water off Lincoln Point last week and caught some catfish and some white bass. Had one walleye hooked...but lost at the net. I got all my action in 5-7 feet of water. Water temps then were 65 to 70. Another couple of weeks should make it worth wading out and making a lot of new friends. Just walk carefully and wear a floating hat tied under your chin.
