I'm from north Florida and just started bass fishing. I've been doing alright but I've been skunked last 2 trips including today. Me and a buddy put a canoe into a secluded pond in the woods that we thought would be on fire but not so much as a bite. The pond holds bluegill and bofin so I'm sure there has to be some bass in there. The only thing I can think of is we just got a hard cold snap, as far as Florida goes.

 

We threw some worms and I had a jig with frog trailer. We fished around the bank which had a nice variety of cover, lily pads, trees, grass. And I also threw into the center a couple times thinking maybe the fish went down deep because the water might be warmer.

 

Any ideas?

Cold fronts in Florida is about a kiss of death. Seems they usually go into the thickest cover they can get into and sulk. You might be able to get a few to bite punching through thick mats and shaking a bait in their face, but bites are going to be few and far between. Florida strain largemouth do not like the cold.

Cold snap, very bad.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I was doing some reading and people were suggesting Ned Rigs for cold snaps.

 

Anyone try this?

Ned can always catch em. You'd have a tough time fishing in in vegetation though (you can swim it over grass but you'd want a slow presentation with finicky cold front bass), you'll have to find some kind of hard bottom to fish it. Lighter weight heads and fish slowwww.

Patience is the best thing for a cold front.
