| The nights are cooling down, and water temps are falling in the North. What do you do to adjust to the late summer season?
Are there particular types of water you fish this time of the year?
WHat presentations do you prefer as the water temps fall? |

| When we get the first real cooling spell and the suspended fish make a move back to the weeds I have done best with burning bucktails and twitchin Slammers. I like to try to cover water fast and look for active and agressive fish. |

| I am a big fan of fishing midlake rock structures this time of year. It seems as if a lot of the lake's critters are concentrated out there, and maybe some of those suspendos that have rewlated to nothing since early May are now starting to move closer to structure. This period, from now until the end of August or early September, has offered me the most consistent patterns of the year during previous seasons.
That being said I'm sure that this year will find the fish in heavy slop in the backs of bays, or scattered across weedflats just because I inferred that they may be predictable at this time of the year. |

| The only thing I would add to what Bill and Norm said would be fishing sharp breaking shore-lines. The rest was covered in their posts.[;)] |

| Go fishing with Muskyone and Worrall! I start to throw a lot more gliders and jerkbaits. |

| In past years, I have just noticed that fishing in general picks up. Usually don't see this cool of weather right now untill september so maybe things will pick up now. Not much for rock structure down here so it's the weedlines that get good and the deep water adjacent to them. I love trolling at this time. |

| Wow, cooling up north? Seems like your season just opened. We've still got mid-80 degree water and 90+ degree air temps here in Maryland.
I guess we are lucky to have such a long season. It's open year-round. However, realistically, we can only fish from March 1 thru December 15th!!!
Interesting, the season may be different temps and a little behind you fellows up north. However, the patterns are similar. About the beginning of September the Muskies (actually Tigers in the lakes) move shallower adjacent to the breaks at the weedlines (generally 15 feet or so)and generally speaking, hit the bigger lures. 8" & 10" Believers in perch color seem to be the best to use. Funny, because we don't have perch in the lake. |
