When A Front Stalls

When the weather changes it activated bass. If the front stalls like it has this weekend in Ohio, then the opposite is true. It will seem like the bass has a zipper on their mouth. Well, you can do one of two things, you can stay home and wait for the front to move or you can go fishing and learn the tricks you need to know to catch bass.

Here are a few tricks that will work if you use them.

1. Try a lipless crankbait and retrieve it fast for a reaction bite.

2. Flip or pitch in shallow cover, remember the bass will hold tight to shallow cover.

3. Find stained and dirty water and slow down your presentation to a crawl.

4. Try a lure such as a Charlie?s Twitchin Shad or Fluke and retrieve it so it makes a wave right under the surface.

5. Find current, the fish there could care less about the cold front.

6. Make multiple casts to the same cover.

When you use these tactics, you don?t have to stay at home, you can still catch fish even when that front stalls and unzip the bass?s mouth. Try these techniques, what do you have to lose?
