Spring Weather
Spring as arrived, with that fluctuating weather conditions. Are bass still affected by cold fronts in the spring like they are in the summer? In my location,we are currently having temps in the mid 60's, cloudy skies and the weekend tournament temps will be in the low 50's chance of rain. Wondering if a slow presentation will probably best, jigs, worming. Thank you!!
Great question. Weather changes have the most impact to a bass in the spring of the year. As bass begin to move into the spawning phase, cold fronts will stop them in their tracks. Falling water temps in the early spring will also dramatically change the bite. The opposite is true when warm fronts happen in the spring. This can drive fish to the bank and really accelerate spawning activity.
In you situation, the water temps will be falling. 60 degrees to 50 degrees is not a major cold front so don't expect things to change radically. I would look for reaction baits to do well in this condition. Lippless cranks, crankbaits and jerkbaits. Good luck and keep us posted.
