Cold Front

Will be at the lake this weekend for our first camping trip of the year.  I figure the lake will be on the rise and with the colder weather moving in should we slow our presentations down and also downsize our baits?  Will the bass just hunker down in place and get closer to cover/structure or will they move out deeper?  The plan of attack at this time is to slow down and move a little deeper and maybe concentrate on points.  What do you all think?

Thats a good plan. If the fish are bedding they will usually stay as the water above them gets higher. Try a few moving baits as well to see how they react. That slow presentation all day can wear on a guy.

Well despite the cold and rain for part of the weekend we did manage to catch a good amount of fish.  On Saturday we fished only the Ned rig and a texas rigged pb&J biffle bug.  Majority of the fish we caught in the 5 to 10 foot depth and we still picked up several right on the bank.  total for saturday was around 20.  Sunday morning/afternoon we caught around 15 give or take on the same baits but most were caught in 3 to 5 foot depth.  All in all a great weekend with the wife and boys.  Will try post pics later.  Almost forgot.  We fished greaser to the MDC ramp on around the bend from birch branch. Water temp all weekend ranged from 58 to 62.

A few pics from this weekend.  No big fish this weekend but was definitely fun to catch them...the boys had a blast.  Most fish were in the 14" range.  Will be back up in a few weeks to go after them again.
