Joedodge Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 So have a decent sized pond with plenty of cat tails and lily pads out in front I my work always see turtles ad birds in it. I'm assuming there's bass lol. But we have a cool front coming trough starting today. I say cool front because in on the gulf coast of fl lol. Would it be. A bad idea to try this pond at 5:30 after work Tomm? Thursday will be our coolest day then a upward climb I'm temp Quote
FloridaFishinFool Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Heck no! You can always temp those fish with a lure! Sometimes there is a feeding frenzy before a cold front settles in. Timing is everything. Now, that being said, there is never a guarantee you will catch anything, but a bad day fishing is always better than a good day at work! Quote
Joedodge Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Ok very cool. I wasn't sure on the weather I'm very new to bass fishing always fished salt. I'm mostly fishing truck worms, flukes, and yum dinger worms right now so there is no guarantee lol. Idk if there's fish In There lol. But your right fishing is always great! Quote
FloridaFishinFool Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I will say this about bass fishing... and I am not sure if this applies outside of Florida because for some reason it seems like fish up north get use to the cold water more and will hit on lures in cold weather more than down here in Florida. It has been my general experience that when a cold front is moving in, that means heavier air pressure and the barometric pressure swings from a low to a high. When this happens here in Florida, the bass tend to run deep and stay there and won't feed much at all until the reverse begins to happen and the temps start to warm up some and the barometric pressure swings from the high now back to a low. And when this happens those bass tend to rise up from the deep and start roaming more for feeding. Here in Florida if a cold front is coming a lot of bass fishermen won't even bother going out to try to fish. Experience has already told us they aren't going to bite so good luck! But try anyways!

Joedodge Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 Hmmmm ok maybe I'll wait and give it a try next week. I'm not even sure if there's fish in there lol Quote
FloridaFishinFool Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I did not mean to discourage you from trying to fish. By all means fish away whenever you feel like it weather be dammed! The only thing that would keep me from fishing would be lightning. But yeah, it helps if there are fish in there... Quote
Joedodge Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 Oh no no discouragement at all don't appologize! Just wana have my best shot especially since idk anyone who's tried the spot lol Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 7, 2015 Super User Posted January 7, 2015 You have three water columns to cover: surface, middle and bottom. Start with the middle with crankbaits and then move onto the bottom with plastics. if you have blue bird skies try to find any cover or structure you can find and throw your Senkos and trick worms at those targets. A cold front is a cold front. When I was in Viet Nam we had a cold front come through and dropped the temperature into the low 70's. I had to don my field jacket and many of my men got a cold. I was freezing and stayed in as much as I could until it warmed back up into the 90's. Cold fronts are about a change in temperature in your area so a cold front in Maine is different from a cold front in Florida but the bass will react in the same way in both places. Quote
Joedodge Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 Awesome thanks so much for the great Info guys. There is a decent amount of lily pad cover and cat tail weeds in certain area Quote
