I have found it to be pretty slow so far this season. I don't think the water temp is quite there yet. I did hit a south shore pond yesterday morning and saw quite a bit of surface activity. Was out in the yak, first cast with a chatterbait and had one around 2lb. Ended up with around 15 or so, biggest was around 3lb. Missed quite a few strikes also. Chatterbait and floating Ratltrap did the most damage. Also got a few on the buzzbait! Best morning of the fall season for me, actually best morning in quite some time! No pictures, too busy fishing. 
Roger I may have to nominate you as frogman of the year! I'm glad you guys are still putting them in the boat. I haven't been out in the boat for a couple weeks but I've caught a handful from the shore on crankbaits and a couple 2 pounders on a 5 inch swimbait.
Heading to NH this weekend and the house is on a 60 acre private pond. I'll definately bring a few rod's up there and see what happens...sorry Jen!

Skunked on the Concord River yesterday, used spinners, cranks, swimbait, nothing. Not the way I wanted to end my fishing season on the water. Three rods in the water; my son, me and a buddy got nothing. They even resorted to worms, had nibbles but could even land off that (LoL).
Surprisingly, I had good luck at my local pond on Saturday.
I got one small LMB on a Rapala jerk bait, then nothing.
Then I switched out to my ultra light, with a 1/32oz jig head and a zoom mini tube under a small trout float.
I caught 3 more small LMB, and a mess of slab crappies, casting it near a drop-off with a lot of baitifish and slowly twitching it back.
It was a fun way to spend an hour and a half in the afternoon.
