Those patches are ones (I think) that never really grew in from the winter die off. My front goes completely brown and the grass just hasn’t don’t much in the front. Back is better but still has some thin spots.

Not spraying the spectraside. I’ll look at the other two

I’ll try to dig up some cores and check thatch. I have a de thatcher I can drag behind my zero turn. I used it last a cpl years ago and I don’t bag clipping I mulch when I cut. I don’t know if the thatch will be thick but in those thin spots it seems disturbing it would let fertilizer get down better?

What’s a good fertilizer to lay down now? I have some milorganite I intend to start laying down as a supplement.

You have/had fungal issues. That spot I circled is an indication. I don't know if you feel like doing all of this but it can be corrected. I would aerate the lawn, fertilize with a 25% N at 4lbs per thousand, and top dress with peat moss.

Don't use Celsius. Use MSM for spot treatment. While I love Celsius two of the three active ingredients are for grassy weeds. If a lawn is stressed I do not like putting that on the lawn. MSM is much more gentle on grass.
