Cold Front Moving In This Week - What Part Of The Lake To Fish?

[dragulagto]

Hey all,

Going fishing Friday on a local heavy pressured lake in Alabama. There's a cold front coming in and high temps forecasted in the low 80's Friday. Woohoo! Did I mention its July and this is Alabama? Lol

Of course some rain will be ahead of the cold front and probably even some on Friday.

I've been hitting the weed beds in the back of creeks early in the morning. Pre-sunrise. And having good luck but I'm thinking that the rain, cooler temps and probability that the dam will be open (current), that maybe I should change my strategy for Friday?

Plan to be on the water before sunrise again.

Any advice? Opinions? Are greatly appreciated!

The bass will start to feed as soon as the barometric pressure starts to drop as the cold front get closer and then arrive over the lake.

 

So when you hit the water after the cold front you will have to 1) find where the bass went to rest and 2) get reaction strikes or 3) fish slow with many casts to one target to totally aggravate them into hitting your baits.

 

The bass may move to hold on drop offs and other cover off the bank where you have had your success. The bass will still be in the area but they will probably not be that active.

 

I wish I knew the pattern by each hour and what great reaction baits they will hit but you will have to figure that out by trial and error.

 

Good luck and let us know how you do.
