So this is going to be my last trip out, then I'm putting my Lund up for sale/trade for a pleasure craft. Fishing just hasn't been a focus for me this year, so I think its time to try something new.

That said, I have one last trip over to Webster this Friday-Sunday, and I was hoping somebody could give me some hints as to the pattern for this time of year? I have only been over in fall, not that that means anything since I didn't catch anything. I'll be staying on the water near the point between the backwaters and the main lake. Is the backwaters still an active area, or have they started to move out to the deeper parts for the summer?

Thanks for any advice!

The fish have been off the spawn for some time now . Fish the breaklines and deep basins with swimbaits ,gliders , rubber or even topwaters and u should contact fish . segmented bodied swimbaits have been pretty good for me.

Great lake. Had 4 in one day, 3 came off and multiple follows in a week. If you wanna get some fish contact Webster lake guide service. Google it and contact Chae. Not even guiding he was still fishing thru rain and wind. He's gonna put you on fish for sure.

I ended up boating one 37 and six follows. I couldn't get em to strike on follows. Even got a bonus largemouth about 6 lbs.

It was a fun time, thanks for the tips!
