The bite is tough
Since that cold front can through last Friday, I went twice to a lake that normally produces a bunch of small ones. They have lockjaw! Managed just two dinks on both Saturday and today.
Water temp is still ill right at 70 degrees too. I have heard before that high pressure weather is not good for fishing and I believe it now.

The baitfish may have moved, everything I cleaned yesterday looked like it was going to explode they were so full of small shad. If the bait has move, so will the fish this time of year.

John, You'll have a special day coming soon. The extra dry and warm fall has made the pattern less easy to figure out. I think the temps are finally starting to come down enough they'll start following the bait as DB mentioned above. Something else to consider. A bit of shade and a few clouds can help. We've had some super clear and bright days. Went this morning with some broken cloud cover.

Reports of fish holding 15-25 fow on structure where I'm at. Best of luck. Going out tomorrow evening to hunt some myself.

Usually have better luck before a front passes and the pressure starts dropping.
-
I wasn't the only person having no luck on Monday - which makes me feel better.
i found a large brush pile in 14 FOW that was holding fish - could see them clearly on my device but couldn't get them to bite.
still - a slow day of fishing beats a good day at work:).

Try dropshot over that pile with a minnow.
Or vertical jig it with the pink jighead and bg nonkey milk.
