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.
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.
