What cold front fishing tactics do you recommend? We will be up fishing the chain this Friday through the 18th. Thanks, Luke

Some pretty serious spawning battle scars on that ski! Nice catch Chas. What did she bite on?

Thanks! I caught her on a topwater but she grabbed it in the figure-8. She missed it once about halfway to the boat and then disappeared until she shot out during my second fig-8 routine. Definitely had some battle wounds - I could even feel some bones as I lightly ran my finger over the cut.

The #1 tactic for me during less than ideal conditions is a jointed shallow running crankbait fished tight to weed cover - but really any lure that you can work literally "through" the weeds / bounce the bottom / bump the logs etc... will work well. The key is to make contact with the cover.

Good luck and fish hard!
