your approach to a late fall warm front?

Ok, here in Mid-Ga, the average high the ;ast few days and until the weekend is in the high seventies and even reaching the low eighties. We have had some cold snaps already and I would say, before all this warm weather, the water was down to the mid to high fifties. I understand the issues behind the cold front, but I was wondering about the warm front. Does weather this warm confuse the fish? How would you approach it. My main lake is Sinclair, a reservoir (unaffected by the drought) that is a good cold weather lake--or at least I am told so--but with all this warm stuff--I have had no luck. What gives??

I had decent luck saturday with a zara spook and a rapala gold and black floating minnow on the Savanah river weather was temps were 45-75 and water temp was 54-57

I fished yesterday on a lake in Va.. The air temp was 51 in the morning and 78 in the afternoon. The water temp during the day went from 48 to 54 degrees depending on wind direction. I started off trying the usual cold water presentations using jigs and Silver Buddys presented to fish I saw on my LCR. They did not work so I started using summer tactics with wacky rigged finesse worm, crankbaits, and hula grubs. All of those worked in depths of 8' to 22'. I just had to stay on creek channel edges or steep drops close to the channels.

Not to hijack this thread but I fished the cooling lake at Progress Enegy's Plant today, temp was around 80 degrees with a water temp of around 63-70. I saw alot of people around me using big worms in a red shad color.

 I live in South Ga. and we are having the same weather. I have not yet had a chance to get on the water yet, but I am also curious about what this warm front might do to the fishing. Not to hijack your thread, but if this weather trend starts to raise the water temp is there a posibility that it might disrupt the spawn. As for your question, I'm going Saturday and I plan on using prespawn presentations. For me that means plastics and crankbaits.

I think that's a good bet--I'm going in the morning and I am going to give topwater a shot and then move to deep cranking.
