Water temps are are 62 to 64 degrees so bass should start the spawn and can be caught on a number of things. Spinners, soft plastics, jigs, crankbaits, and jerkbaits can all be effective this time of year. Stripers are moving into creeks to spend the winter. Strpiers move into the creeks look for large baitfish schools and fish with live bait or large spoons. Walleye are more active in areas with rapid drops to deep water using using a jig and plastic combo for catching agressive fall walleyes. As water cools try soft plastic swim baits ot twister baits. Crappie can be found in creek channels that feed into the lake. You can use a live minnow on a hook with a split shot weight to keep it down, use jigs and tubes in 12-15 feet of water. In deeper water, blue-white and purple-white lures are effective, in stained water green, chartreuse, lime, and orange lures are effective.
