Thread: Cold front coming

Check your water temp upon arrival..If lower, chase them up to the nearest mouth of a cove or creek if they are not still in their usual haunts you have been gettin em..If you see baitfish, stay put..If not, follow the nearest creek till you find baitfish..They will start followin food!!!!!!

My tactic for tommorow morn is to check the brush pile in the 4 to 5 fow range. And if not there to search deeper areas very close to the brush pile they were once at.

Does that make sense ?

Thanks, Manny

Makes a lot of sense, cold front just may move them out to deeper water but not too far. As u move out look for a bottom change.

I've found that when the water temp is in the upper 80's like it is here now that all a cold front will do is make the shallow bite a bit more aggresive,the loz flats fish i target usually don't make a substantial move until the water drops below 50 degrees i would guess your fish will react the same,if you don't find em in your spots keep looking in 2' increments they'll be somewhere close.

Manny you fishing Flam city yet
