Largemouth Bass and Fronts

Largemouth Bass and Fronts

Cold Fronts
During cold fronts, fishing can be horrible. Some anglers don't even
fish during cold fronts because fishing is that tough. Once a cold front
hits, bass will go into deeper water and deep into cover. Some bass will
be in weeds that are so thick that it's not even possible to present a
lure to these fish.

Catching fish after cold fronts is very tough. Some anglers turn to live
bait, which is probably the easiest way to catch bass after a cold front.
Using lighter line, smaller lures and fishing slower is the best way to
catch bass on lures during these fronts. If you can get out on the water
before the cold front hits, bass fishing can be excellent. They feed very
little for 1 or 2 days after a cold front, so they go on a feeding spree
very the front. If you time it just right, you can catch a lot of nice bass
before the cold front.

Warm Fronts
Warms fronts are a bass fishermen's best friend for most of the year.
Throughout spring and fall, warm fronts provide some of the best
fishing. Bait fish will be active in the shallows and bass will be actively
feeding on these bait fish. In the spring, 4 or 5 days of 60 to 70 degree
weather makes for some excellent fishing. White spinners work great
for warm fronts in the spring. Small crankbaits and spinnerbaits are
also very effective during a warm front in the spring. Try the north
shores because the south wind is blowing that warm water to the north
shoreline. The only time warm fronts hurt fishing are during the
summer. It can get so hot that bass will be very sluggish. They will try
to find deeper water and will typically only feed during the morning and
evening. Even though most bass will go deep during the dog days of
summer, there will always be some bass shallow.
