Does the cold front this weekend have anyone worried? Ive never had much luck fishing in a cold snap but I am going to try it this weekend at Truman. Figure just fish a little deeper water and try and force feed them! What are some tactics some of you veterans use when fishing in a cold front? And don't say stay home! :Rofl
In cold weather I just slow down and use grey or chartruse jigs, on stockton, Plan on being on truman this weekend and was reading some old post and I am thinking 2.5 in black and green or blue and green jigs 4 to 10 ft. down,,,, One of the best fishermen on Truman is called 10 ft down for a reason
Beagle they quit calling me that a while back:biggrin. Smoker it will make for a tougher bite for sure. I think minnows will prevail again this weekend. We may have enough cool days in a row by weekend to get them feeding again. How much rain we get could make a little difference to. Hopefully it is not enough to dirty things up. Cold and muddy is never a good thing. I don't think the shad or fish will leave the creeks even with the cold weather.Quote:

Swing by the weigh in at Deepwater and you will get to hear how everyone caught their fish during the tournament. Should be a good one to learn from. Always cool to hear what we should have been doing it catch fish. I can throw out everything I had planned to fish. I don think the 2-4' of water 1 ft down bite will do me much good. Time to break out the 100mph suit and base layers again. Sucks after wearing short and a T shirt this weekend and getting a sunburn.
Im hoping we can swing by the weigh in, not sure if my fishing partner will want to get off the lake or not, and we are taking his truck LOL
