Accelerating the fall bite

That’s how Chris Zaldain just described his fishing spot as he added a quality smallmouth to the live well. 

Zaldain said the key to his area is a mixing of cooler water from the St. Clair River where it comes into the lake. 

“With the 61 degree river water mixing with the warmer lake temperature it’s accelerating the fall bite,” he said. 

Interesting. Zaldain’s game plan is to spend some of the morning in an area with a rocky bottom with isolated grass. He will use a jerkbait and then go deeper. Maybe. The wind might factor into that move.
