The pondjumperz. I talked to a dude that said it use to be a great LMB lake but over the last few yrs the smallies are eating all the young LMB. Basically eliminating them.

Ya, same thing with Sawyer. Use to be a GREAT Largie lake. Now it's a mediocre smallie lake. But there are still some big Largies here and there and I usually catch one each year. And a big smallie now and then.

Goodwin used to do well on LMB in the fall with crankbaits, but also with finesse style worms. I'd try a few crankbaits off of points, at the edge of weeds, or even trolled to locate fish. They are feeding heavily now, and ambush their prey as often as possible. Play with a predator (dog, cat) with a toy on a string and see what actions inspire them to attack. Fish are very similar.
