Welcome. Try wind blown weed lines with a spinner bait, stalling it out and letting it drop. If the bite is tough, go to a small saftey-pin spinner with a 3" swimbait. Look for bait area's in the morning before the wind comes up. I have found tho, the best bite this time of year and up to Dec. (for me), is the last 2 hrs of light. When the sun gets low, it's Game On!
