Bass Fishing During a Cold Front

Uncovering the mysteries of bass fishing during a passing cold front. Bass fishing a cold front can be a successful endeavor with a little know how.

Every angler has been there. A cold front passes through the night before you go bass fishing. As it passes it’s likely to bring heavy rains and a strong wind from the west. Soon as the cold front passes, the rain stops and the wind starts blowing from the north dropping temperatures, and probably causing the bass to shut down altogether. So much for bass fishing tomorrow. You may as well just kick back on your bass boat and read a book about bass fishing because you’re not going to be doing anything but wetting tackle getting frustrated anyway. Maybe not.

Don’t cancel you day on the water so quick. Bass fishing a cold front can be a successful endeavor with a little know how. As with every bass fishing situation, bass fishing a cold front requires changing up on your fishing locations, some adjustments to lures and their presentation to catch the bass. One thing to remember is that the cold front affects the thing bass feed on much more than they actually affect the bass itself. The bass changes it’s feeding habits to adjust to the changes the cold front has caused in the critters the bass hunts for food more so than how the cold front has affected the bass. So you have to adjust your bass fishing tactics. The bass doesn’t give up eating and thus you shouldn’t give up on catching that bass. Keep a positive attitude. That positive attitude is as important as anything you have in your bass fishing arsenal.
