Super User Dwight Hottle Posted December 12, 2014 Super User Posted December 12, 2014 Had a buddy from Atlanta come down for two days of fishing. Unfortunately for us both we were involved with a major cold front. Temps went down into the low forties each night. Anybody familiar with Florida bass fishing knows or have experienced tough, tough fishing after a cold front hits. Usually the bass shut down for days up to a week. The cold front started on Tuesday & we were fishing Wednesday & Thursday with dampened anticipation for the next two days. Day one really sucked because of water flow problems stirring up silt & plant debris. Day two started out cold & foggy but the water was clearing & still. We started catching fish right away. Long story short we had a really good day. My long time fishing buddy caught a new pb & I did as well. We had about 20 fish between 4-5 lbs. Two fish between 5-6lbs. Three fish between 6-7lbs. Dave's pb bass went 8lbs-8oz and my pb bass went 11lbs-2oz. What a day for a cold front! The magic baits were indigenous swimbaits. 20 Quote

Shane Procell Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Congratulations Dwight. I saw it on Hugh's Face Book page yesterday. I said that looks like Dwight 3 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted December 13, 2014 Super User Posted December 13, 2014 Real Prey makes a bait that looks like those "indigenous swimbaits" you are referring to But unfortunately, soft plastics do a pretty terrible job at getting nervous when a big fish is nearby, that's where the real McCoy sets itself apart. 2 Quote
