Finding Smallmouth Bass During Fronts
During cold fronts, smallmouth bass will go deeper and remain inactive
for a day or two. The type of water, time of year and degree of cold
front will dictate just how much the fishing changes. In rivers, cold
fronts don't change the fishing too much.
If it's a drastic cold front, then fishing will slow down, but most of the
time you can catch a lot of smallmouth bass in rivers after a cold front.
In lakes, it's another story. Fish will go deeper and shut down for a
couple of days. The clearer the lake, the worse the fishing will be
following a cold front. After a cold front, the next day is usually full of
sun without a cloud in the sky. These conditions are horrible for
catching smallmouth in clear lakes. The only time cold fronts don't
effect fishing on lakes too much is in the fall. Many anglers believe that
a cold front in early fall will trigger the bass to feed because they know
that winter is approaching.
Warm fronts are very good for fishing the majority of the time. Warm
fronts are usually followed by some stable weather for a few days,
which makes fishing excellent. In mid-summer, a warm front can make
fishing tough. 90 degree weather and smallmouth bass don't get along
too well. You can still catch bass in the hot weather, but early
mornings, evenings, and nights are best. If you do fish during the day,
try going deep or fish around shade
