I have a question. Up here in Minnesota, it's been unseasonably cool. I'm talking into the 40s at night and only into the upper sixties, low seventies during the day. The water temp was at 78 in the lake I fish and now it's down to 68-72 depending on. How would you go about tackling this situation? This is a natural lake that has 2 creeks that feed the lake and one creek that exits the lake. Plenty of weed growth and 2 major points. Maximum depth of 25 feet.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

x2 on appreciating any advice.  I've tried to figure out this weather the last couple times out, and really have done poorly both numbers and size.

I had alot of luck this past weekend on a shakyhead. Maybe try it on the major points and steep dropoffs. Also definitely on any rocks if the lake has them.

Shakyhead is the only thing I'm getting bit on the past few days after the front also. Lighter the better with a 5" zoom finesse worm.

that is the exact same thing ive been throwing

My experience in this situation is the smaller the bait the better and fish tight to cover.

Not sure where you guys are fishing...but the lakes I have been fishing have dropped around 10 degrees however I am still catching them off of spoons, 10 inch worms, jigs- any typical summer big bait.  I have seen no noticeable change other than the water is a bit higher so they are spread out more than last year.
