Just when it is time to head out and catch some bass this weekend we get hit by a massive cold front that has chilled the temperatures by ten to fifteen degrees and caused the fish to get lockjaw.
How do you adjust to these conditions? What is your best strategey for dealing with shifting conditions?
On Sunday my dad and I were out for our annual muskie trip on Lake Scugog, the surface temp of the water was down 4 or 5 degrees from earlier in the week, conbined with the wind it was a hard fish yesterday.
Last year the same weekend, with warm sunny weather we caught 8 muskie, this year we worked like crazy, tried every lure our guide had but could only boat 2 smaller muskies (34" and 38"). I hope to get out again some time this sumer to give the muskies another go.
Seems like it has slowed a bit for me as well.Sat night the eyes were in thick but holdin real tight to bottom and werent even hittin the 1000's of shad right above them.My brother listened to my advice and I told him to use a smaller jig with a slower presentation,and low and behold his 6.1lber was taken.
I always say to downsize your bait and slow your presentation way down after or during a cold front.
seaweed you don't have fishing was better choice lol. I didn't realize the wind and cold hit the whole province, this weekend was the same as the past three on Colpoys except fish were being caught. One thing I didn't mention on my Great Lakes post was that all fish were caught going into the wind trolling at 1to 1.5 mph floatfishings post jogged my memory on that.
