Night fishing a summer cold front
First of all let me say this is my first post here. Great site. I live on Table Rock Lake and recently had a night tournament with our club right after a summer cold front had moved in. Needless to say, I did not bring a keeper to the scales. It only took 2 fish to win it. I would like some advice on how to catch fish after a cold front moves in.
Thanks in advance. Dennis |

Think black..either top water black jitterbug, a black pnj, or a black spinnerbait...fish the same spots and depths as you normally would.
A blacklight in the boat helps see the line if you're allowed. |

Welcome to the Forum!
Ditto on what JB said, use black colors.

I did throw black. What I would like to know is what to do when a cold front moves in during the summer.

Fish the lures slow, that works well down here in South TX, when a cold front comes by.

Here's something most people don't do, but I've found it to work: throw a rattletrap or other lipless crank. It may not seem like it, but it does work during a cold front.

Hmm.... Night fishing a cold front means no topwater bite..
I would use a big tube w/rattle in a very dark color.. Inject with juice for that added atraction. Capt Mike

That depends on what part of the country your in mike. I do agree some what. But with a 50 degree night here in Mo . When we had an 88 to 90 degree day means the water temp is still warm. Which for me means break out the poppers. I will spray them down heavy with atractant. But it does'nt mean the top water bite is dead either.

I think you need take in consideration the drop in water tempature. If it's not a rapid loss. Most fish won't notice the difference. Now if this cold front is sustained for period of time yes. But not in first 18 to 24 hrs.
