So I live in Philly, (go Flyers) and two weeks ago the weather got warm and the bite was on. We slayed them on everything. Then a cold front came through, and a week and a half of cold and rain and we can't buy a bite. They just shut down. They chase lures but don't eat em. Anyways tomorrow a warm front is coming and there's going to be a few days of 80 degree weather. I've read tons about cold fronts and their effect on bass but what about warm fronts? I've heard they bring lower pressure. Is this true? Is it a good thing? Let's hear some ideas, tips and techniques if any for warm fronts and their effect on the fish.

I'm pretty sure they would be more active, and shallower. kinda like after winter, and when the water warms drastically, they go up into the shallows. Just my .02 though.

That's my thoughts. I'm from Louisiana, so we have 4 days of winter and 361 days of summer. There is no spring or fall lol. Anyway, we get slammed with warm front after warm front from the Gulf. I've never heard anyone around here planning for or canceling a fishing trip due to a warm front. We sometimes go into a frenzy down here to try to get on the water the day before/of a cold front and we'll cancel trips after the front has rolled through. It's a good question. I'd like to hear something scientific about it.

It seems to me that the fish will respond positively due to the lower pressures, warmer temperatures, and the possibility of rains washing in some new attractants for baitfish. I'm not certain at all through.
