"cold" Front Bass

[Jim Fish the Zarks]

It seems like the cold front, or just the change in weather has affected the bass. My typical points and cranks are very slow.

Any suggestions?

Try fishing a worm like a crankbait, seems to be triggering bites pretty good up by me.

Slow down, pull out your shakey heads and carolina rigs/drop shots and try to find the fish pulling off the points a little bit. I'm usually looking for deeper structure on my ff on the big lakes and tryin' to throw a worm in front of em.

If that don't work, I usually head to the house...

Fishinwrench - what size and color do you suggest?

Just cast and real?

Carolina or Texas rig? What size weight?

Thanks in advance!

Jim, it might very well be because of the full moon.

I like the Zoom MagII during the mid-day, and the Zoom Ol'Monster early and late. Color is up to you but grn.pumpkin and tequilla shad is what I use.

Texas rig, pegged. 1/4 or 5/16

Just cast or work the worm into a piece of brush, pop it gently off a limb and swim it steadily back to the boat with the rod tip low. The bite is either a weightless feeling or feels like you picked up a leaf. When you feel that, sweep-set hard to the side and reel like a madman if they run towards you.
