Thread: Fishing after a cold front

Well if you at least try and are able to find them then you have just improved your chances the next time it happens and build off of it.

Some of us cant' wait 3 days

well.....who went this morning? I was gonna but my little one had me up late last night and was just too tired to go this morning. Ended up doing a BUNCH of work around house, so it wasnt a complete wash.

Yea, I had much rather be fishing but it IS a good time to catch up on the "honey do's", then change out line and re-rig rods...clean boats in and out...organize tackle....grease trailer bearings and then be ahead of the game and ready for serious action when the bite starts back up. Just changing out line on all the rods takes quite a bit of time and that is something I have been putting off for a month even though I bought the bulk line two months ago. All of these things have been accumulating because I have been fishing or getting ready for deer season the past several weekends so a cold front is a good excuse to lay off a weekend and get caught up and reloaded. Seriously, I've caught fish behind a front but it is usually a slower bite.....the odds are against you. But believe you me, when everything is caught up and ready, I have and will fish daylight till dark for three fish, lovin' every minute of it.

Wish I had heeded your advice. It was a suck day on Dardanelle this AM.I knew better.

As hot as it's been down here the cold front is gonna be what it takes to get 'em going. Fish have been pretty lathargic in that hot water we've had and a quick cool down is gonna get 'em started. How many days afterwards is the question though.Doh
