the later it gets the better it gets...as for lures...bandits ,reef runners, deep # 12 husky jerks, smithwick p 10's...all will work at different times...buy stock colors also...don't know which colors will be best at this point...watch reports here and ohio game fishing site...no jets or dipseys needed with these baits...may need inline weights of 1-2 oz depending how deep the fish are...fish will be around the reefs, the islands and huron...the colder the water gets the slower the speed...over 2 mph now to down to 1.0 mph...follow reports and you'll get plenty of info.
