| We've been casting shallow rocks for the better part of summer and have had some good days and some just awful days (that's fishing though right?!) What water temp do you think we should be starting to troll deeper water? |

Location: MN | I was up Sept 2-10. A prolonged cold front came through on day 2 and it was fairly tough fishing, but I managed to grind out 5. 3/5 were deep: 25+ ft down over 30-40 ft of water. The other two were up shallow. I also saw a few other fish up on shallow rocks and did lose a couple. A couple years ago I was up in late September and had a similar experience, although that time the deeper fish I found suspended 25 ft down over 40-60 ft near huge schools of bait.
IMO, don't take anything out of the picture. Shallow rocks are probably good, but if you're not moving anything, heading out deep near big reefs or points might be worth a shot. Even big sandy weedy bays - I didn't have much luck this year, but on my previous trip in late Sept I saw a couple big ones in the same bays I fish during the summer. |
