Depends on what type of grass or grasses you have.

For warm season grasses like bermuda, st augustine, zoysia, or centipede, put out 5-10-25 (or something close) with weed preventer now. Be sure to read the label to make sure the fert you buy can be used on warm season grasses.

Put out lime in sometime between Oct and Feb especially if you have lots of pine trees. 

In Feb and again in April, put out crab grass preventer. 

In May, put out 16-4-8 or 20-4-8. 

If you've got fescue, bless you trying to have a summertime lawn. On the good side though, you can pick up on Scott's or Sta Green's annual program and go. Aerate and overseed now. Save some seed to throw out again after the leaves drop. Still add the lime though as the fert works better when the pH is closer to nuetral. Pines add lots of acidity.

Lastly, do be very careful near the water's edge and avoid any surfaces/areas that readily drain to the lake. If your lawn goes to the water's edge, you may want to throw the fert out by hand to avoid getting it in the lake or just not fertilize the edge at all.
