Herbie,

You had mentioned in your last fishing report that summertime presentations were still working. At what time during the year do summertime presentations start to become ineffective and fall presentations start to take more fish? Around September 1? Also, besides live baits, what fall presentations do you prefer to use? Do bucktails and topwaters still work in the fall and will muskies still be shallow? How is the Pike action in the fall?

We are looking to plan our annual trip next year later than we have in the past and are deciding between early August and early September. You advice would be much appreciated.

TJ
