Thread: Cold Front Question

Hopefully they will be hungry today, gonna find out later today. I've heard/read where they get active before a front moves thru but crappie are picky critters at times.

What, an excuse to go fishing? I vote yes. I know how many I'll catch in my office today, zero! Good luck and tight lines. 👀🐡

I agree with rcp. Sounds like a good excuse. Sometimes the bite really turns on just before a cold front moves in. With light winds it should be a pretty good day if you can find some fish that will hit.

I've found that they will become active when theres a major barometric pressure change and the shallower the water that the fish are in the more drastic the "turn on" is. But that also means the harder the "lock jaw" they have after the pressure passes. Keep a journal boys.... keeping a journal and entering all the days information after every trip you will start to see patterns that you wouldn't see just going on memory.

Good advice ... I also have not had one nibble in my office today!! Maybe I am not deep enough ....

Just came off cottonport area of Chickamauga. Had 1 keeper and 20+ shorts. Bite was good but very light. Was fishing creek cut throughs at about 6'. BG under float at about 20".

Thank you! What was the water temp?

When I put in the slough was 33 had to bust ice with the kayak on the way out. The creeks were about 44 and the slough was 48 when I came back but it's only about 2' deep
