Question on Weather

damian2b · 06-05-09, 02:52 PM

Hi Everyone,

I know that cold fronts can obviously change fish behavior. The reason I ask is I am planning a trip tomorrow and it has been raining and in the low to mid 60s the past two days (Thursday and Friday). However tomorrow it is suppose to be in the low to mid 80s and sunny (the few days prior to the rain/cr@ppy weather it was low to mid 80s with sun). My question is how much of a swing in weather in your experiece is really needed to affect the bite. I am praying for a good day tomorrow as I am trying out some new equipment and the only thing that has me concerned is the weather from yesterday and today.

(In case you are interested the bait monkey jumped down from high atop his perch at the Hanover MD bass pro shops and absolutely MADE me purchase a St Croix Mojo spinning rod "wacky style" thankfully the bite wasnt too serious as I had a gift card....he came in from the high ground what was I suppose to do???

)

Thanks All!!!

after two days like the fish will prob be a little skidish , I fish as close to cover and structure as you can and dramatically slow down your presentation . I hope you will be out early while they should be the most active but try to find the shade as the day wears on or your deeper structure . The change in weather should not have affected bass in those deeper areas say 12 ta 20 feet as much as it would the fish that are hanging in the shallows . good luck on the outing man .

Sounds like a good situation for a wacky senko close to cover IMO.

That type of weather has been a constant around me for the last couple weeks , and our go to bait has steadily been a yum woolyhawg tail with a 3/16oz weight pegged to it or a craw style bait . I personally hate not having a senko tied on just cause I am so confident in the bait , any way it is rigged but it has not been producing as well as the former lately maybe as it gets more into summer that will change at least I hope it will .
